With a heart as big as his treasure trove of pranks, Ryan Reynolds is a refreshingly rare blend of charm and character. Beyond his humor, what truly sets him apart is the genuine kindness he conducts himself with. By using his platform to support various charitable causes, he has proven to be one of Tinseltown’s most compassionate stars. Although the Free Guy actor has come in the spotlight for many kind deeds, the crowning jewel among them is the way he and Rob McElhenney brought glory back to the diminishing Wrexham AFC. 

Earlier, the duo also made headlines for the gracious way in which they treated Paul Mullin when he was injured. Now it seems like Reynolds has landed in Welsh tabloids for another gesture that moved the nation’s hearts.

As reported by Wales Online, Cody Froggatt, who documents the on-goings of Wrexham AFC, recently revealed a stirring incident he witnessed first-hand. According to him, the 46-year-old once casually gave away one of his original Deadpool gloves to a “terminally-ill” Wrexham supporter. Then, he handed the “other one” from the pair to his star goalkeeper, Ben Foster.

This checks out, considering how Reynolds once casually mentioned that he even offered to rub a player’s feet while he was injured. Also calling him a “nonchalant person”, the photographer explained that he does such acts humbly without giving them unnecessary weightage.

But his gesture towards the sick fan was not the only reason Foggart sang praises of Reynolds. Apparently, the father of four girls has another initiative that he works towards behind the scenes.

Besides reviving the historic Wrexham AFC, Reynolds is also hell-bent on bettering another aspect of soccer. As women’s soccer makes great sides in the sport, Froggart credited Reynolds for playing a part in this by “sharing about” women’s teams. In March, he also touched many hearts by telling Wrexham women’s striker Rosie Hughes that she had “inspired” his daughters. 

No wonder every person he meets sings his praises, be it the makers of Welcome to Wrexham or the photographer. One cannot deny that the world definitely needs a lot more of Ryan Reynolds at the moment.
