Whenever anyone of Ryan Reynolds’ loved ones has a special day, he just knows how to make it special. Do you remember how beautifully he wished his frenemy, Hugh Jackman, on his birthday? It made us crave the same kind of gesture. Well, it is his Wrexham AFC partner, Rob McElhenney’s birthday, and the Canadian actor wished him in the most iconic way.

You must be aware of the Vancouver-born actor’s film, Spirited. The actor sang a lot of songs and even danced as well. After the film’s success, Reynolds expressed his wish to perform one of the songs from the film at the upcoming Oscars, too. While his dream is yet to be fulfilled, the Deadpool actor created a music video for the special day of his partner cum brother, Rob McElhenney.

While there have been many people who mispronounced his name, his pal cleared the doubts of many.
