To successfully acquire a football club, one needs a significant amount of funds. Or, as Rob McElhenney put it, “movie-star money.” Ryan Reynolds had that movie star money.
An email from McElhenney outlining the plans to purchase the third oldest football club in the world was all it took to convince the Canadian. In November 2020, RR McReynolds LLC bought Wrexham AFC for £2m.
Since then, Reynolds has etched his way into the hearts of football supporters and the public alike. He has immersed himself in Welsh and football culture, putting all the doubters’ minds to rest; the Hollywood star has earned the trust of his team and Wrexham’s supporters.
