RYAN REYNOLDS found “the coolest way to watch football” as he oversaw Wrexham’s latest win in true Hollywood fashion.
Canadian actor Reynolds, 47, co-owns the Welsh football club alongside American comedian Rob McElhenney, 46.

The pair bought Wrexham in 2021 and have taken them from National League purgatory to the brink of League One glory.
They are currently second in League Two, four points off leaders Stockport, and on course for back-to-back promotions.
Wrexham’s latest victory saw them demolish Crawley Town 4-1 at home on Tuesday.
And despite being across the pond, Reynolds made sure to watch every second of action.
However, in his classic comedic style, the Deadpool star did things in a typically hilarious way.
Streaming the match on a laptop or even a TV was not grand enough for Reynolds as he worked on the set of his latest movie.
And with a giant green screen behind him, he could not resist broadcasting Wrexham’s game onto the huge projector.
Reynolds and his crew watched on as the Welsh side notched their 23rd win of the season.

He looked enamoured as the game played on behind him while surrounding by various pieces of Hollywood machinery.
And Reynolds captioned the moment: “Watching the Wrexham game at work: new level unlocked.”

It’s not clear what project Reynolds was working on at the time, with the actor currently developing several new movies including sequels to smash hits Free Guy and Red Notice.
Speaking in February, Reynolds admitted he could not envisage a life without football and Wrexham in it.
He told the Yours, Mine, Away podcast: “I say this without any spin. It’s the greatest experience of my life, and it’s filled with all kinds of weird and unexpected horrors, but it’s the greatest.
“It’s just being part of something and the fact that Rob and I were welcomed in by these unblinking and uncynical arms is something I will never forget. It’s part of my DNA now.
“What I think I love most is when you go to the stadium, the stadium now has 12,400 people in it, with the temporary Kop, and I recognise a lot of them.
“If you saw the amount of emails and texts I wake up to every day that are just about Wrexham business, it just never ends. It’s incredibly stressful.
“But we are constantly talking about the staff, ways to improve, ways to grow this club, ways to connect the club with the community even more.
“So when I walk in the dressing room, I’m a little geeked out too. If that was a drug, we’d all be a mess.”
