Ryan Reynolds made his entry as a television star and he soon made his way to Hollywood. After a series of roles in comedy movies and rom-coms, the actor soon undertook comic book roles. He would not have attained success in cape until Deadpool. Despite becoming a Hollywood A-lister, the man is also known for his several business ventures. But what was unexpected was his ownership of a lowly Welsh football team. Apparently, he fell in love with the people of Wales.

The Canadian purchased Wrexham in 2020 with partner Rob McElhenney. They have since made efforts to promote the team and have docuseries, Welcome to Wrexham on Hulu. His love for the country is evident when he recently supported Wales over his current country of residence, the United States of America.

Ryan Reynolds is a staunch supporter of Wales in World Cup 2022

Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds were at the match between Wales and Philadelphia Union. The duo was delighted over the latter getting thrashed by Wales. Gareth Bale, the Red Bull had displayed a phenomenal performance on the field driving his team and taking the win at the last minute. The former Real Madrid forward was truly the MVP. When asked about their predictions for the next game against the United States, the Dragon award winner was clear about his support for Wales.

He was rather specific about what he exactly wanted Bale to do. “I would like to see Wales spank the United States of America,” he noted. The man was not kidding. Despite residing in America and holding citizenship, he is least concerned about it, for he added, “I’m not afraid of these people,” making Rob laugh. 

While Ryan’s wish was rather violent, Rob had a more practical wish. He was more concerned about Wales beating England. 

Although the next game is yet to take place, the two have already picked sides. Which side are you on? Tell us in the comments below.
