Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney deserve a lot of praise for the work they have done in Wrexham. The club has grown significantly under the ownership of the Hollywood superstars as they continue to make a name for themselves. They have brought global fame and recognition to the Welsh side.

Both owners have done a terrific job for the club and have won the hearts of the fans. Aside from that, they have also built a unified bond with the whole Wrexham community. They have often been seen lending a helping hand to the people of the city and have acted as real-life superheroes. And it seems they have once again gotten their name into the limelight, as Reynolds is set to fulfill a dying fan’s wish.

Ryan Reynolds set to fulfill dying fan’s wish

Jay Fear is a 45-year-old Wrexham supporter who has unfortunately been diagnosed with appendix cancer. He even expressed his wish to meet Reynolds, as he’ll be coming to watch the match against Boreham Wood. Hence, in an attempt to fulfill his dream, two Wrexham businesses and fans donated the tickets after a charity reached out to try and organize his trip.

Fear will be attending the game, but things got even better for him after he received a video message from Reynolds himself. “I just wanted to send a video and let you know that I’m thinking about you,” he said. “I’m whispering because my children are asleep, so this is just a little quiet time in the house, which is nice.”

“I know that words are probably too clumsy to express what it is that you are going through, but I want you to know that I’m in your corner and hope that I get to meet you in person one of these days and I’m sending you tons of love Jay.”

Any idea where he’s sitting?” Reynolds’ words have definitely touched Fear’s heart, as he can’t wait to meet the actor himself. He even opened up about his desire to meet the Hollywood superstar.

Excited to meet the Wrexham owners

Life has been tough for Fear, but he can surely try to fulfill all his bucket lists. He is quite excited to meet the owners and is also grateful for their efforts. “I’ve always loved Ryan Reynolds – ever since Van Wilder. I remember watching that for the first time and thinking that guy was cool,” he told the BBC.

“I started watching the [Welcome to] Wrexham program on Disney Plus and when you watch that you can’t help but love Wrexham. It would be so nice to go to a Wrexham game and actually meet Ryan Reynolds at the same time.”

He revealed he fell in love with the docuseries. “I had no affiliation to Wrexham beforehand but I just couldn’t help falling in love with the city and what they have both done for the club – and not just the club but for the area too,” the 45-year-old said.

“I’ve actually never been to the Racecourse Ground and I don’t think I’ve ever been to north Wales. We’re really looking forward to it.” Indeed, it is a heartwarming gesture from everyone involved in the process of helping Fear meet Reynolds and watch the match as well.
