Arsenal’s new Hollywood board member – who is Ben Winston?

The most intriguing aspect of the announcement is the addition of a lifelong Arsenal fan who has worked with Tom Cruise and the Kardashians, despite the fact that Arsenal have made significant changes in their boardroom.

Following the club’s boardroom reshuffle, executive vice chair Tim Lewis was replaced as film producer at Arsenal.

While Dave Steiner and Kelly Blaha from Kroenke Sports &amp, Entertainment (KSE) serve as non-executive directors, Richard Garlick has been promoted to CEO.

Stan Kroenke, an American, became the majority shareholder in 2011 and assumed total control of Arsenal in 2018. In 2007, he acquired a 9.9% stake in the company.

In the most recent boardroom restructuring, Stan and son Josh Kroenke co-chaired.

Who is the celebrity producer who was James Corden’s best man and who had Harry Styles reside in his home for two years while One Direction was at its height? Having a fan on the board is a nice touch that will draw in supporters.

Winston, 43, claims he first started supporting Arsenal when he was ‘five or six’ and has spent more than 30 years holding season tickets there. He claims he first started playing his first game at the age of nine.

His father, Baron Robert Winston, a well-known fertility doctor and scientist, and he has led an interesting and prosperous life.

However, Winston’s appointment to the Arsenal board is so intriguing because of his success as a producer of movies and television shows.

Winston and Corden met on the show Teachers, where Winston was a runner, and they soon developed a romantic interest for football, according to a GQ article.

Winston, a Leeds-based university student, would travel to Corden to film Fat Friends there.

Additionally, Winston’s support of the Gunners is not intended as a show.

He attended an auction with three friends for lunch with former Gunners boss Arsene Wenger and did not miss a European away game for 12 years. His Instagram photos show him playing for Arsenal against Real Madrid in 2006 and 2025.

23 Emmys and three Baftas have been won by his production company Fulwell 73.

They have produced programs involving former Manchester United players like David Beckham and Gary Neville’s investment in Salford City, such as Sunderland’s Netflix documentary “Till I die and the Class of 92.”

Along with Corden, Winston co-produced the successful Carpool Karaoke series for the Late Late Show, which Corden hosted.

As Arsenal attempts to tap into that fan base, Winston’s celebrity connections could be crucial to their next move.

Anne Hathaway, Lewis Hamilton, 21 Savage, Reese Witherspoon, and Reese Witherspoon all publicly expressed their love for the Gunners.

Romeo Beckham, who is a vocal Arsenal supporter despite his father David’s success with Manchester United, and superstar singer Dua Lipa have been spotted at the stadium.

The club uses music artists to promote their transfer announcements and celebrities’ shirts to draw attention to their international fan base.
