While on his journey, Paul was having a coffee outside a gas station, and at that moment his GPS watch buzzed with a notification. He was surprised to receive a message from Ryan Reynolds himself.
âI glanced and it showed Ryan Reynolds on the screen and I assumed it was a Twitter post, then I read the message and it started with âHi Paulâ, I thought it was someone messing around but we had a quick chat about Wrexham FC. The fact that he messaged me is awesome, plus he is now following me on Instagram.â said the thrilled Paul.
Ryan also offered the Wrexham fan a free phone so that he could keep in touch with his loved ones. âI can imagine how essential it is to be in touch with the folks back home. Particularly the boys at The Turf,â said the 46-year-old.
