It might sound like the script of a Hollywood movie, but actors Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney say they're determined to turn this particular plotline into a real-life fairytale.
Footballing minnows Wrexham AFC had languished in the lowest professional league for 14 years before the famous pair bought the club. And now they dream of getting them all the way to the Premier League.
After Rob and Ryan paid £2 million for the club two years ago, Wrexham narrowly missed out on League Two promotion last year and are currently fifth in the National League.
