Ryan Reynolds says Wrexham commitment can frustrate his children | OneFootball

Ryan Reynolds says his commitment to Wrexham can at times frustrate his children. The comments come five years on from his and Rob McElhenney’s takeover, a period that has brought three promotions and a hit Disney+ documentary.

"I know I'm a football fan and a Wrexham lifer because I'm inconsolable when we lose. I've never been as invested in winning and losing before." "I have to fly across the Atlantic when still awake and sober (after a match) and try to process that whole loss." He was speaking to The Athletic.

"My kids get frustrated about it. If we are walking down the street, I'll get asked about Deadpool (by someone) and it's usually (just) a two or three-second conversation, basically saying, 'Hi'." "If someone talks about Wrexham, I just turn right round and park it against a street pole."

McElhenney said: "From the very beginning, it was, and always will be, about working-class people. The community of Wrexham. That is what always drew me in."

Reynolds added: "No one survives in the entertainment business for as long as Rob has - or, certainly as long as I have - if you're a dick to people. We're aligned because we both came from working-class families who didn't have much."

Wrexham are sixth in the Championship, inside the play-off places and chasing a fourth successive promotion. McElhenney said: "This is a joy." "I love talking about it (Wrexham) and I love experiencing it."
