Besides finding home in Hollywood, there is another world that feels nothing but homebound for Ryan Reynolds, and it is that of football. Ever since he joined forces with Rob McElhenney to acquire Wrexham AFC, not only has the club reached new heights of success but the actor has also encountered his newfound love for the game. Over the past three years, their partnership has been incredibly rewarding, and as McElhenney prepares to celebrate his 46th birthday, Wrexham AFC's promotion to the big leagues adds another reason to rejoice. 

With the club's ascent to the top leagues falling just a day ahead of McElhenney's birthday, Reynolds, this time, has declared the dibs on a double celebration.

On Saturday, Wrexham AFC faced off against Forest Green, clinching a resounding 6-0 victory and paving the way for jubilation among fans, co-owners, and players alike. This triumph was not just a regular one as it secured the club's promotion to League One, prompting Ryan Reynolds to advocate for a dual celebration. Urging everyone to “double up the town” on Instagram, he shared a series of photos and videos featuring Rob McElhenney and the exuberant cheers of Wrexham AFC's victorious moment, extending congratulations to his “co-chairman in crime”.

True to his trademark humor, Reynolds reflected on how, if someone had told him just "a few years ago,” that he would be shedding “tears of joy over a football match,” that someone would have been Rob McElhenney. However, McElhenney's influence has turned this unlikely scenario into reality, with Reynolds himself now a staunch believer in football's ability to craft the most incredible scripts. And with Wrexham AFC's promotion aligning perfectly with McElhenney's birthday, there is all the more reason to keep that faith intact.

Friendship can take one to extraordinary places, and in the case of Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, it often feels like reaching the pinnacle of the world. Therefore, as his co-chairman's birthday approached, it was only fitting for Reynolds to orchestrate a celebration unlike any other. Consequently, before his the clock hits the tick for Sunday, Reynolds chose to extend birthday wishes to McElhenney according to Wrexham time, complete with a clip in his trademark Deadpool style.

In the clip, Reynolds humorously depicted an underwater expedition to unearth a Wrexham lager for McElhenney's birthday toast amidst the wreckage of the Titanic. Playfully referencing the iconic "draw me like one of your French girls" line, Reynolds presented a painting bearing McElhenney's face. Additionally, he provided a link to a website where fans could purchase and share items showcasing "Rob's splendor," adding another layer of hilarity to the gesture. Although Reynolds did not opt for a conventional birthday wish, it was on par with his last year's birthday wish to McElhenney.
