The residents of one small Welsh village have responded hilariously to the news that Hollywood star Ryan Reynolds could be their newest neighbour. With a selection of cutting quips worthy of Deadpool himself the people of Marford in north Wales let rip regarding the locale's rumoured (and very glamourous) imminent addition.
It came as news broke that Reynolds, 46, had reportedly bought a £1.5m house nearby. The as-yet mystery property is said to be a short five-mile drive away from the ground of Wrexham FC, which the American/Canadian actor bought back in November 2020 alongside fellow Stateside actor Rob McElhenney.
And since taking over at the club Reynolds has been far from an absentee overseas owner, displaying instead a very hands-on, 'lead from the front' approach to his tenure. Frequently turning up at the Racecourse ground for matches, he's subsequently become a very familiar face in the local community, many of whom seem to have embraced him with equal enthusiasm.
