Actors Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney purchased the Welsh soccer club Wrexham AFC back in 2020, and the story of how the two actors came to buy the club is starting to come out due to the FX show Welcome to Wrexham premiering later this month.
Reynolds said he slid into his fellow owner’s Instagram direct messages to reach out about potentially buying the club, and the rest is history.
Reynolds joined McElhenney on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Tuesday and revealed a secret about what this purchase meant to his wife, actress Blake Lively.
