Why is Ryan Reynolds buying Wrexham?

As if things couldn't get more interesting in 2020, news has emerged that Hollywood stars Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney potential new owners for National League side Wrexham AFC.

The news came as a surprise as Deadpool star Reynolds and It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia actor McElhenney have not been known to be football fans in the past - so why are they interested in buying the club?

It is currently unclear why Reynolds, along with McElhenney, are interested in purchasing the Welsh side - but Reynolds has hinted that the sale has been eight years in the making.
