Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney have successfully managed to win Wales. The two Hollywood celebrities are not just funny and entertaining, but also talented entrepreneurs. Against all odds, the duo decided to invest in a team that had lost its real glory. With a £2 million investment, they decided to bring the club back to its glory one step at a time. But it was not just about marketing and PR skills. Connecting with the team players, the fans, and the locals was an important factor.

The comedian showed his appreciation by posting a Welsh stadium photo on his Twitter. A young boy in a jersey can be seen playing on the field. McElhenney captioned it with a son asking his father if this is what heaven is like. “No, son. It’s Wales,” replies the father. The heartfelt post already received a lot of attention, but Reynolds only took it up a notch by re-tweeting it for his audience.

While local fans are more than thankful for the new owners for resorting to the club so well. They would reach out to some fans individually and encourage them to show their public support for the team. The people are appreciating the great demand and name it has received due to the duo’s publicity.
