Hollywood actor Ryan Reynolds, best known for his role as Deadpool, has revealed that his passion for football club Wrexham AFC sometimes annoys his children because fans often stop him to talk about the team. Reynolds highlighted this funny family dilemma while discussing his life as co-owner of the Welsh club, which he purchased with fellow actor Rob McElhenney.
Reynolds explained that his love for Wrexham and constant engagement about the club means fans frequently approach him in public to discuss matches, players, and club news. While he enjoys Wrexham’s growing global attention, his three daughters and son reportedly get frustrated when people stop him during family outings to chat about the team’s fortunes.
The actor’s comments come as Wrexham continues to attract worldwide interest, thanks in part to its rapid rise under Reynolds and McElhenney’s ownership and the success of the popular documentary series Welcome to Wrexham. The club’s transformation from lower-league play to strong Championship contenders has made it a frequent topic of conversation among football fans.
Reynolds appears to wear his role as both a passionate club supporter and father with good humour, acknowledging that his family sometimes struggles to keep up with the attention his Wrexham involvement generates. Despite the occasional family frustration, his enthusiasm for the club remains unabated, and he continues to embrace every opportunity to speak about Wrexham and its progress.
