A sleepy village in North Wales isn't where you’d expect Hollywood A-listers to buy houses. Yet the actor Ryan Reynolds has reportedly bought a £1.5 million home in the quaint village of Marford, five miles north of Wrexham.
The Deadpool star set his sights on the Welsh village after he bought Wrexham FC with fellow actor Rob McElhenney in 2020. Marford is just a short drive away from Wrexham’s Racehorse Ground, providing a handy base to visit his football club from.
It's a world away from New York, where Ryan usually lives with his wife Blake Lively and their four children. Instead of skyscrapers, subways and bustling streets, Ryan can expect a much slower pace of life in this quiet corner of North Wales.
