Ryan Reynolds was fraught with nerves before Wrexham's historic promotion
Ryan Reynolds was 'adult diaper nervous' before Wrexham's latest promotion.
The Welsh football club made history earlier this year by becoming the first team in the English league system to win three consecutive promotions and the Deadpool actor - who co-owns the club with fellow Hollywood star Rob McElhenney - has revealed his fragile emotional state before the historic feat was achieved.
Speaking in the finale of the fourth season of documentary Welcome to Wrexham, Ryan said: 'I feel very nervous, like, very very nervous. 'Like, adult diaper nervous.'
Ryan's nerves came before Wrexham's promotion rivals Wycombe Wanderers lost 1-0 to Leyton Orient in April, which allowed the club to seal promotion to the Championship by beating Charlton Athletic 3-0 later that day.
The 48-year-old star explained: 'That was the moment I think all of us, everybody, the entire town, went 'Holy s***, this could happen.

Jeremy Renner ‘handcuffed to the bed' to stop hospital escapes
Bang Showbiz | Los Angeles Jeremy Renner has revealed he had to be "handcuffed to the bed" to stop him from escaping the hospital after his near-fatal snowplough accident. The Hawkeye star, 54, suffered over 30 broken bones, a lacerated liver, and a collapsed lung in January 2023 when he was run over by his own snowplough. Despite his critical injuries, Renner admitted he was 'probably the worst patient ever' due to his repeated attempts to leave the hospital prematurely. Speaking on Jimmy Kimmel Live! with guest host Jelly Roll, Renner said: 'Oh, yeah — that's because I kept wanting to break out of the hospital. So these poor nurses, you can imagine, I'm kind of high on whatever they're feeding me. I got tubes and epidurals and nine things stuck in me — I'm dragging the machines in the bed. I'm walking on broken legs. I never even made it to the door but once, but they handcuffed me to the bed.' Once discharged, Renner's recovery at home came with another set of challenges — including intense hallucinations from the medication. 'That was at home… and yeah, that's when you know you're not feeling any pain,' he shared. Among the hallucinations: a full imaginary day spent with fellow actor Jamie Foxx. 'I was talking to objects and Jamie Foxx. He was there in my room. Then we got up and we went snowmobiling. All that happened in my mind. It didn't happen. It's good drugs,' Renner joked.

Jennifer Love Hewitt felt ‘anxious' about I Know What You Did Last Summer return
Bang Showbiz | Los Angeles Jennifer Love Hewitt admits she felt anxious about how fans would react to her return in the new I Know What You Did Last Summer movie. The 46-year-old actress reprises her iconic role as Julie James in the latest installment of the horror franchise — but she says she was hesitant at first. 'All of my friends had to talk me into it,' she told Vulture. 'Literally up until the last night before shooting, they were like, 'You know you're going tomorrow, right?'' Hewitt first played the role in the original 1997 film, but returning decades later brought new concerns — mainly about aging in the public eye. 'What people were going to say about how much older I would seem than when I was 18 — that's literally the only thing I was anxious about,' she admitted. She also revealed to The Hollywood Reporter that she initially questioned the purpose of bringing Julie back. 'I was hesitant at first. I wanted to make sure that she fit into the movie in the right way and that there was a reason for her to come back besides just the '90s nostalgia moment,' she said. 'I wanted her part in the movie to matter and for the audience to feel like they were proud of who she has become.' Jennifer said she was happy with how her character evolved. 'She's exactly who I thought she would be and who I wanted her to be, honestly.' Interestingly, she didn't want Julie to appear fully healed from past traumas. 'As weird as it sounds, it was really important for me to not see a Julie James that had healed her trauma. She needed to stay in trauma... so this version of her feels right.' Despite playing the same character, Jennifer said it felt like stepping into a new role. 'What's beautiful about this movie is that she feels like the same person from the original movie, but she also feels like a new character in some ways because of all the time that's gone by.' To prepare, she rewatched the original — this time with her kids. 'It was my kids' first horror movie. They really wanted to watch it together... so it was really fun and exciting and interesting to go back and watch that girl on the road that night.'
