In the world of sports and entertainment, very few stories are as captivating as that of Ryan Reynolds and Wrexham AFC. The Canadian star, along with fellow actor Rob McElhenney, has orchestrated a miraculous turnaround for the Welsh side. But as it turns out, Reynolds’ impact on the town of Wrexham extends far beyond the soccer realm, as the Deadpool star is also endorsing local businesses using his star power.
The actor received a generous present from a local Wrexham-based workshop. Ironically, the gift will be paired with a motorbike that Reynolds purchased from Wrexham’s rival town.

Recently, Ryan Reynolds proudly flaunted his $120,000 Arc motorbike. Calling it the “coolest bike” he’d ever ridden, the Canadian multi-millionaire gave a free endorsement to the young Coventry-based startup. Despite his support for the rival town, Wrexham locals have not held it against him. In fact, the actor experienced a delightful surprise from the local community when he received a customized present.
Locals from the ‘Hedon Workshop’ in Wrexham had sent the club owner a custom bike helmet. The helmet had Wrexham AFC’s emblem imprinted on it. Reynolds was visibly ecstatic about this special token and shared his excitement with fans around the globe via Instagram.
On his Instagram stories, Ryan Reynolds shared the picture of his custom helmet, and exclaimed, “Holy Hell. Thank you @hedonworkshop for making the most incredible custom Wrexham helmet. It feels like my mom is hugging my entire head while apologizing for making me mow the lawn during that heat wave when I was nine. You guys have outdone yourselves!!!”
The Deadpool star was clearly pleased with the special helmet he received. The generous gift is also a testament to Reynolds’ close relationship with the local community. The actor has been a vocal supporter of local businesses ever since taking over the soccer club, and his endorsement of Arc and Hedon Workshop proves that.
Wrexham’s local businesses experience a new buzz
The club’s meteoric rise continues to create ripples beyond the pitch. Reportedly, since the club’s return to the EFL League Two, local businesses are experiencing a newfound resurgence.
With the club’s takeover by Hollywood stars Reynolds and McElhenney, and their subsequent success on the field, local businesses have been much busier than before. The Deadpool star’s involvement and the local support he has gathered from the Wrexham fans is refurbishing the town itself.
As Ryan Reynolds continues to weave his magic in Wrexham, it’s clear that the town has accepted him as one of their own. Beyond the celebrity endorsements and high-priced motorbikes, the bond that has formed between the Hollywood star and the local community makes this story truly remarkable.
