Ryan Reynolds, the well-known Hollywood actor, shared an amusing anecdote about a player from Wrexham AFC taking his offer of assistance quite literally. In an attempt to build connections with the club’s players, Reynolds and his co-owner Rob McElhenney personally reach out to them once they join Wrexham, as he discussed on the Fearless in Devotion podcast. “We just wanted to connect with the players. Every player, when they sign, we Facetime them, we call them, we give them our info,” he explained, showing their dedication to the team.
Reynolds clarified that they do not make football decisions, stating, “That is our version of meddling with football.” However, their efforts to help backfired with one player, who reached out to ask for help renting a car. Reynolds humorously recounted the incident, saying, “One player did call, to ask me to rent him a car and I said ‘when I said call me for anything, I meant a kidney’.” He jestingly added, “I didn’t mean: how do I get you a Hertz rental car. Let’s try Google next time.”
The team’s recent success, earning a third consecutive promotion to reach the Championship, has only fueled Reynolds’ passion for the club. He described his commitment to Wrexham as more than just about football, emphasizing the significance of the town. Reynolds expressed his admiration for the transformative impact the club and its community have had on him, highlighting the profound emotional connection he feels. “The sentiment that we feel when we walk through the streets of Wrexham today versus four years ago is a contagion, and I love that,” he remarked, illustrating the enduring appeal of the club.
Overall, Reynolds’ involvement with Wrexham goes beyond mere football and reflects a deep appreciation for the uplifting and inspirational power of storytelling within the context of the club and its community
