“Pacing Around Like a Caged Lion” – Deadpool Superstar Ryan Reynolds Is in Love With Global Sport With 3.5 Billon Fans After $2.5 Million Investment

Ryan Reynolds has always expressed a broad range of emotions while watching his soccer club play. The Deadpool star took over Wrexham AFC in 2020. Reynolds and his co-Hollywood star, Rob McElhenney, had initially shocked the universe when they expressed their interest in buying a soccer club. The fans were also bemused when the celebrity duo took charge of the club in the beginning. However, in retrospect, everything seemed to pan out really well.

In a recent interview, Reynolds spoke about his ever-growing love for the sport.

Ryan Reynolds is crazy about soccer!

The Hollywood star has now become a fan favorite in the sports universe. Reynolds will now reportedly deepen his investment in sports while he prepares to bid for the Ottawa Senators, an NHL team. Keeping that aside, soccer fans are already in awe of the Deadpool star. His efforts to make Wrexham AFC relevant again are unimaginable.

In a recent interview with the BBC, Reynolds talked about the extreme love that he has developed for soccer. According to Fortune, he told the BBC, “I’m now so much in love with this sport that I actually hate it. Each match I’m pacing around like a caged lion”. Reynolds has always been candid about his feelings. The fans have always appreciated his openness, unlike other soccer team owners.

In a recent FA Cup match, the Wrexham AFC fans had a little surprise for the Hollywood star. Toward the end of the game, the fans chanted, “There’s only one Ryan Reynolds”. That clearly showcased the bond that Reynolds shared with the Wrexham AFC fans.

The 46-year-old has adopted a hands-on approach since the beginning. He’s always been present for every major Wrexham AFC game. One such game was recently against Sheffield United in the English FA Cup. Reynolds and his team are currently on a dream run in the cup competition.

Wrexham AFC’s ‘magical’ FA Cup run!

This is basically what the ‘magic of FA Cup’ phrase means. Smaller soccer clubs from lower divisions get the chance to compete with clubs that are much stronger than them. Reynolds’ team played Sheffield United in the fourth round of the FA Cup a few days ago. The Blades are 71 slots above Wrexham AFC as per the English soccer pyramid.

However, their fixture ended in a 3-3 nail-biting draw and will have to be replayed. Reynolds’ wife, Blake Lively, also couldn’t believe Wrexham AFC’s luck after she posted a heart-warming story on Instagram. Wrexham AFC could cause a massive upset in the coming days if they pull off a win against the Blades. Wrexham AFC is having their best run in the cup competition for the first time since the 1996-97 season when they reached the quarterfinals.
