Ryan Reynolds is once again the talk of Wrexham after the club clinched an extraordinary third consecutive promotion to the Championship.
This achievement propels the Welsh club into a new league, with Reynolds and fellow Hollywood owner Rob McElhenney now just one more promotion away from realising their Premier League dream. It's been an expensive endeavour, with both men investing millions into the team over the past few years since their surprising 2021 takeover.
Reynolds has developed a deep affection for Wales and views it as one of the greatest accomplishments in a life that has seen him rise to Hollywood fame and become a successful businessman worth hundreds of millions of pounds.

Here's a look at his incredible life, covering everything from his journey to Hollywood stardom, past relationships and his staggering net worth.
From humble beginnings to Hollywood icon, reports Wales Online.
Ryan Reynolds was born in October 1976 in Vancouver, British Columbia, as the youngest of four brothers in an Irish Catholic family. At just 13, he caught the acting bug and began landing roles in various television shows, including the Canadian series The Odyssey and Nickelodeon's Hillside.
After landing minor roles in several series, Reynolds' big break came with the 2002 National Lampoon film Van Wilder, which marked the start of his rise to stardom. Despite a few early film roles that didn't quite hit the mark, he found his footing in Hollywood through successful romcoms such as Just Friends, Definitely, Maybe and The Proposal.
His lead role in the DC superhero film Green Lantern was widely panned, with the movie becoming one of the biggest box-office flops in cinema history. However, he made a triumphant return with the blockbuster hit Deadpool, which raked in an astonishing $782.6million on a budget of just $58million, making it one of the highest-grossing R-rated films ever.
The sequel was equally well-received, and further franchises have followed.
Net worth.
Reports suggest that the 46 year old actor currently has a net worth of more than $400 million, supplementing his Hollywood career with savvy entrepreneurial and investment moves.
In addition to his box office successes, Reynolds has been busy in the boardroom over the past five years or so, acquiring up to a 20 per cent stake in Portland-based Aviation Gin and transforming it into a recognised brand on both sides of the Atlantic. Drinks giant Diageo snapped up the company in 2020 in a deal worth just over $600million.
Two years ago, he made a significant profit when he sold his substantial stake in telecoms firm Mint Mobile to T-Mobile. The deal, valued at $1.35billion, earned him a cool $300million plus.
Reynolds is believed to have pocketed a whopping £79m from acting alone in 2024, with much of his success coming from the Marvel blockbuster Deadpool and Wolverine, while family film IF and documentary Welcome to Wrexham are also believed to be big contributors.
Reynolds and McElhenney have invested more than £20m into Wrexham but have seen a massive increase in the club's turnover. They are also set to enjoy an extra £8m in television revenue thanks to promotion.
High-profile relationships and Hollywood divorce.
Reynolds has had a series of high-profile romances, including engagements and marriages to some of the world's most famous women.
In 2004, he became engaged to fellow Canadian Alanis Morissette, whom he met at Drew Barrymore's birthday party two years prior. Although they parted ways in 2007, with Morissette citing the pressures of fame as a contributing factor, they have remained close friends.
Following his split from Morissette, Reynolds began dating actress Scarlett Johansson, and the couple tied the knot in a private ceremony in Vancouver the following year. Their A-list status and hectic schedules, however, led to a short-lived marriage, and they parted ways in 2010.
Johansson, then 23, shared with Time Out her perspective on what went wrong in her marriage to Reynolds: "We work and then go home – I'd just stare at the wall for a few hours before I got to sleep."
Reynolds has been mentioned in the media in connection with several actresses over the years, including Sandra Bullock, Melissa Joan Hart, and Charlize Theron.
His romantic journey took a turn for the better after meeting Blake Lively on the set of Green Lantern, leading to their marriage in 2012 and them becoming one of Tinseltown's darling couples, with a growing family of four kids.
They initially wed in a secret ceremony at Boone Hall Plantation in South Carolina but later regretted their choice of venue due to its historical association with slavery. They publicly apologised, expressing they were "deeply and unreservedly" sorry for not being more thoughtful with their decision.
Subsequently, the two had another more private ceremony at their home, keeping the date under wraps. Known for light-hearted banter, Lively and Reynolds never miss an opportunity to engage with Wrexham supporters; once Lively playfully urged a fan to break up with her significant other, while Reynolds jested with player Ollie Palmer concerning his wife's presence, advising him to "put a shirt on".
Both were seen celebrating as Wrexham secured promotion in Saturday's thrilling match against Charlton.
