Ryan Reynolds talks in currency about his Wrexham club purchase

Reynolds’s love for sports and success as an actor enabled him to invest in his beloved sport. In an interview on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Wrexham owners discussed about how they came into purchasing the Wrexham football club. This is when Reynolds said, “I was hoping Drachmas” as the three discussed about the Welsh club’s cost and currency of purchase. Drachmas is a former Greek monetary unit that was later replaced by Euro. While Colbert also added to the joke that it could’ve been the Lira, a former Italian unit of currency.

As per comedian Rob, ‘superhero money’ was required to afford the club. So when Stephen estimated it to be costing millions of dollars, the Mystic Quest creator corrected him that it was actually millions of pounds, which is worth more than dollars. Now, as successful as he is as a TV show comedian, an A-lister’s investment was in need. This led him to call his friend and actor for a pitch-in. Reynolds’s involvement in the business, including the co-ownership of Mint company has added greatly to his wealth. Thereon, the duo went on to buy the club for 2 million pounds from the Wrexham Supporters Club (WSC).
