Co-star and long-time buddy of Rob McElhenney reflects on Wrexham owners’ friendship

Charlie Day is a famous American actor known for his Charlie Kelly role in It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia. He is a co-creator of the comedy show with McElhenney. Day is also the writer for the show as well as the executive producer. He was on Jimmy Kimmel Live Show, where the host asked about the growing friendship between Reynolds and McElhenney. Kimmel also asked whether Day is jealous of the friendship between Wrexham owners.

Charlie Day started“He’s trying to trade up on me you know,” when Kimmel asked whether Reynolds is taking away his friend. Day added, “That’s all fine, and I’m proud of him, but it’s the fact that he’s got the super handsome movie star best friend who just keeps being like, ‘you know what, I made another billion dollars today. I sold a phone company.'” It was a friendly jibe by the actor on the Deadpool star who recently sold his mobile company. 

“He had this like a high production birthday song for Rob. I mean, the guy put in like a hundred thousand dollars in your birthday gift. It’s like a bad movie from the 1980s. You know what I mean, where the sports jack steals your friend,” Charlie Day continued his friendly jibe on Reynolds.
