This has been all due to the extraordinary efforts of Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney. The Hollywood stars have taken the club to a whole new level ever since they took over the club back in 2021.
It has been a brilliant few months for them, as no one knew what Wrexham was today. However, it seems Ryan was actually inspired to buy the fifth-division club by someone special.
Ryan Reynolds reveals the pep talk he had with David Beckham
Before making a stunning $2.5 million move for Wrexham, Ryan Reynolds actually had a pep talk with former England international David Beckham. “If you can just make heavy eye contact with Beckham for… about 20 seconds, your football knowledge grows exponentially.” said Ryan Reynolds while speaking to Alison Hammond on This Morning.

The Hollywood star admitted he often talks with the celebrity and asks him to just stare at him. “Sometimes I just FaceTime him and I’m just like, ’Don’t speak. Just stare at me’.” Both stars have a unified bond after Ryan’s Deadpool character made a pun in Beck’s voice.
Nevertheless, both the owners and club have come a long way and have achieved a lot so far. They are desperate for major success and will be looking to keep up like this. In fact, they recently celebrated the win like maniacs, thus making a key addition to their CV.
