Paul Rudd filmed the moment Ryan Reynolds 'blacked out' amid tears from Rob McElhenney as Wrexham promoted

A few moments to individually come to terms with what had just happened? Check. A passionate cwtch to celebrate Wrexham's promotion? Check. Pure emotion after throwing themselves into the club for two years following their Hollywood takeover? Check.

All can be seen in new footage of Wrexham co-owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney as they react to the final whistle of the promotion-sealing 3-1 win over Boreham Wood on Saturday night.

Filmed by fellow Hollywood actor Paul Rudd, who was a few feet from the pair as they watched on, the footage offers a glimpse into just how much going up means to the pair who have affectionately become known as plain old Rob and Ryan in Wrexham.

Reynolds said of the footage on social media: "Rob and I kinda blacked out during this moment, but somehow we’ll never forget it."

Watch the video in full below:

As fans pour onto the pitch in the background, the Hollywood owners tearfully come to terms with what has happened before them together, before later heading down to the pitch to congratulate players and staff and take in the moment.

McElhenney is also captured on camera wiping away the tears, as the enormity of the achievement hits home.
