All the glamor, style, fashion, and a lot of fun are hard to miss. However, Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney chose not to attend the big Hollywood night. They wanted to be there in the UK for the Wrexham business. And thus, the “first Tuesday of May” became extremely memorable for them as these Hollywood celebrities became townies as the entire town celebrated the big wins of Wrexham.

Tuesday evening saw a celebration of the team’s promotion with an open-top bus parade. The owners of the club, the Canadian actor, and Rob McElhenney, as well as Wrexham AFC’s staff and players, joined the parade. The Deadpool star posted pictures on his Instagram and gave his fans overseas a highlight of the event.
