From being a successful actor to a football club owner, Ryan Reynolds has achieved it all. The entrepreneur teamed up with friend Rob McElhenney to purchase the Welsh football club Wrexham AFC. The plan was to revive the club and bring it back to its old glory, which not only made the new owners happy, but also fans of the team.

The club was purchased from Wrexham Supporters Trust for $2.35 Million. Not only did they take over the club but also began a new series called Welcome to Wrexham. The docuseries were made to not only gain popularity but also to show the progress of the team. Both comedians had decided to take their work seriously. It is definitely proving fruitful, as Wrexham’s striker Ollie Palmer compliments them.
