Along with Rob McElhenney, Ryan Reynolds became co-owner of Wrexham back in February 2021.The North American duo have since transformed the Red Dragons on and off the field.
Wrexham’s value has sky rocketed since the duo took the helm, while they are now set to ply their trade in the Championship for the first time since it was rebranded.
McElhenney and Reynolds have been praised on multiple occasions for the work they have done since taking over.
Wrexham player’s request to Ryan Reynolds
McElhenney discussed Wrexham’s goal in an interview last week, and Ryan has now been speaking out.
Reynolds spoke about Sam Smith and his goal during the club’s 3-0 win over Charlton Athletic, which won them their latest promotion.
Unlike some owners who shy away from fans, the pair are always more than happy to engage.In the same interview with the Fearless In Devotion podcast, as quoted by the Daily Star, the actor has shared one bizarre request he received from a player about renting a car.
He said: “One player did call to ask me to rent him a car once. I told him that when I said call me for anything, anything at all, I meant something like a kidney.
“I didn’t mean like, how do I get you a Hertz rental car? Let’s try Google next time.”
Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds investment paying off
A few eyebrows may have been raised when two Hollywood actors decided to buy a team in the National League.
But that investment has paid off on all fronts, with the club now the first team in EFL history to win three promotions in a row.
Wrexham posted record profits in 2023/24, setting what is believed to be a League Two record in the process.
The club could earn over £40m in 2025/26 as well, based on increased revenue from several sources such as TV money in the Championship.
