The joint statement by Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman

“We’re incredibly excited to set sail together in this new adventure. Hugh brings a deep love for and pride in his home country, as well as being an avid fan of sailing. He will also be bringing his overly clingy emotional support human [Ryan Reynolds] along for the ride. Apologies in advance to Australia.

No comment on whether we’re writing this in our BONDS. No further questions,” the Hollywood stars gave an official joint statement.

Slingsby said that the ‘Deadpool and Wolverine’ stars on board are an incredible milestone for them and the sport. Calling them icons, he stated that the actors would bring “unmatched star power, a love for storytelling, and a sharp sense of (humour) that fits perfectly with our team." “With Bonds joining as our title partner and the launch of the Bonds Flying Roos, we’re building something distinctly Australian; a team driven by spirit, resilience, and national pride,” the London Games gold medalist added.
