The actor and producer took over the Wrexham Football Club in February last year
for over $2.4 million. In their stint as co-owners, the club reached the FA
Trophy Final at Wembley, while they also got worldwide recognition with the
Disney + show Welcome to Wrexham. However, the decision to honor Ryan Reynolds
and Rob McElhenney has not been unanimous.

RYAN REYNOLDS GRATEFUL FOR THE AWARD 

The decision of awarding Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney with the Freedom of
the County award was taken in the council meeting on Wednesday. As many as 46
members voted in the favor of the decision. However, two conservative councilors
cast their vote against the Hollywood actors. Taking the decision of the
majority into consideration, the council has decided to organize a ceremony next
year to honor the actors.

Ryan Reynolds joined the meeting virtually to express his gratitude for
receiving the big award. The Deadpool actor looked extremely happy with the
honor given to them. He called the town home to the most beautiful stories on
Earth. Reynolds also promised that he and McElhenney will continue their efforts
into increasing the popularity of Wrexham all across the globe. 

“What this town has given us is immeasurable. Our goal is to uphold the values
of this community in this club. We consider ourselves genuinely the luckiest
guys on Earth. Thank you for welcoming us into your homes and your special
community. We’re eternally grateful,” the Canadian-American actor was quoted as
saying by Metro

Last week, Conservative leader Rossett Cllr Hugh Jones expressed his
disagreement with awarding Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney. He was of the
opinion that two actors have supported racism by liking an Instagram post by
striker Paul Mullin that showcased football boots with the slogan “**** the
Tories.”
