“Must Have Spent Hundreds of Thousands” – Wrexham Co-owner Rob McElhenney Hilariously Admits to Go ‘Back in Time and Change’ His Name After Ryan Reynolds’ Viral Song

Since Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney took charge of Wrexham AFC, the club has experienced notable success and progress. They have made significant advancements both in their on-field performance and off-field endeavors. The club has gained widespread recognition for their recent promotion.

Many mistakes were made this season by the club, but in the end, they managed to win the promotion. After all, mistakes are part of one’s journey to success. But if there was a chance to redo things, then it would have been something else. Well, that’s what the co-owner, Rob McElhenney, revealed what exactly he would do.

Wrexham co-owner wants to go back in time to change his name

The introduction of Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney to the Welsh club was a crossover no one expected. While many knew who the owners of Wrexham were, some were finding it difficult to pronounce their names, especially McElhenney’s. Many still pronounce his name incorrectly, which has definitely left the Always Sunny actor a bit irritated.

In a recent podcast with Fearless in Devotion, the actor revealed one thing that he would like to change. And that is changing his name. “If I could go back in time and change one thing about my professional career it would have been from day one, just shortening my last
name to Mac,” he said. “So if my name is just Rob Mack, it would just be so much easier for everybody to know how to pronounce it.”

However, the American star said he wouldn’t be changing it, particularly on his 46th birthday, when his friend Reynolds surprised him with a song. “But then if I did that, well I wouldn’t have at 46. I wouldn’t have been able to experience those three minutes of a song that one
of my best friends wrote explaining to the world how to pronounce my name.”

“He must have spent hundreds of thousands and months writing and singing and dancing to improve the song,” added McElhenney. Indeed, it was a hysterical one from the actor. Both Reynolds and McElhenney have a special bond from their acting days. In fact, the Deadpool star even wrote a song for his birthday!
