Hollywood legend Ryan Reynolds stuns Wrexham fans with incredibly generous gesture
HOLLYWOOD legend Ryan Reynolds has stunned Wrexham fans with an incredibly generous gesture.
The actor, 46, has become increasingly popular in the Welsh city since buying the National League football club back in 2020.

Even more recently, he purchased a a £1.5million pad in Marford on the Wales–England border – just five miles from Wrexham.
And now, he’s left locals speechless following the club’s 3-2 win over Notts County on Easter Monday.
Before jetting back to the US, Ryan went down to local pub The Turf and put £2,000 behind the bar for punters.
Following the victory, one fan told the Sunday Mirror: “Ryan wanted the celebration to be one to remember.
“It was a lovely gesture.”
Landlord Wayne Jones said Ryan is even letting him use his £4.3m home in New York for a holiday.
Wayne said: “He has really embraced the Wrexham community.”
When visiting the club, Ryan will now stay in his posh pad with wife Blake Lively, 35, and their kids.
The sleepy town only has a Co-op, a car dealership and an ice cream parlour – which is a stark contrast to the couple’s New York lifestyle.
A source said: “Ryan is moving to Marford and it’s all the locals can talk about. His house is on the poshest road.
“The most famous person from Marford is Tim Vincent from Blue Peter, so a Hollywood star is a step up!
“It might not be the Big Apple but the red carpet will be rolled out when Ryan comes to town.”
The Deadpool star is now a local hero after pumping some much-needed cash into the team alongside co-owner and actor Rob McElhenney.
The pals bought ailing Wrexham in November 2020 and have since spent £10m on the club as it bids for promotion to the Football League.
