<a href="https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/ryan-reynolds/">Ryan Reynolds</a> is deep in the throes of affection for Wrexham AFC, and there is a question on everyone&#8217;s lips: Are Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds the best thing to happen to the club? For devoted Wrexham soccer fans, it is an enthusiastic &#8220;yes!&#8221; In just their second year as club owners, these Hollywood stars orchestrated a sensational championship win for the men&#8217;s team, securing a promotion to the English Football League for the 2023-2024 season.
The extraordinary tale of quadruple success unfolded in 2020 when the dynamic duo acquired Wrexham AFC. Just as you would expect from a Hollywood narrative, they did not shy away from rolling cameras during their inaugural year as owners. Yet, the question that triggers is: What sparked Reynolds&#8217; fascination with the Wrexham bug?
<h2>What ignited Ryan Reynolds&#8217; love for the club?</h2>
In 2021, the Green Lantern actor and Hollywood star Rob McElhenney teamed up to purchase Wrexham AFC. No doubt their inaugural season as club owners saw Wrexham reach Wembley. But, it was the remarkable 2022-23 campaign that truly ignited their passion for the team. Wrexham had an unforgettable run in the cups and secured promotion back to the Football League, setting records along the way. Reynolds and McElhenney became regular fixtures at crucial matches, soaking in the excitement of the game. But one match gave them the bug of soccer love.

Cody Froggatt, the fortunate photographer who captured moments with these A-listers for the Dragons, shared a fascinating anecdote. <a href="https://www.walesonline.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/young-welsh-photographer-gets-behind-27577438?_ga=2.50271840.773436990.1693733798-89923893.1657873771" target="_blank" rel="noopener">During Froggatt&#8217;s interview with Wales Online</a>, he pinpointed the exact moment when the Free Guy actor fell head over heels for the club. More so, recalling it during the FA Cup fifth-round showdown against Sheffield United. Watching the match resulted in a blooming love for the game and the impact is for everyone to see.

There is no denying that the club has achieved remarkable success. But the actor&#8217;s unwavering dedication could potentially become an overwhelming distraction.
<h2>The love story of Ryan Reynolds and Wrexham AFC: Success or obsession?</h2>
Reynolds and Wrexham AFC share an extraordinary connection. The Deadpool star, alongside fellow actor and It&#8217;s Always Sunny in Philadelphia creator Rob McElhenney, ventured into Welsh football as co-owners of Wrexham. Their team&#8217;s recent promotion from the National League to EFL League Two marks a stunning rise. Additionally, its move from English football&#8217;s fifth to fourth tier pushed Reynolds. It catapulted him from Deadpool&#8217;s red-and-black costume to the sidelines as a fervent supporter of the &#8216;Red Dragons.&#8217;
