It was McElhenney day as the Wrexham AFC owner wished his partner in Spirited style. After making this hilarious and big gesture, the actor himself received a huge gesture from the youngest fan. To receive an award from a cute little fella should be one of the most beautiful feelings in the world. Because when Ryan Reynolds expressed that feeling recently, it made people applaud him harder than ever. The Canadian actor once again received a prestigious award for his significant work for noble charity work.

He uses his position to spread love, as we saw in his contribution to the Terry Fox Foundation. Recently, the 46-year-old actor received the Humanitarian Award at the Canadian Academy Awards 2023. One of the kids from the SickKids Foundation, the foundation that Reynolds helped, presented the award.
