Apart from being a skilled actor, Ryan Reynolds is a skilled manager as well. After acquiring control of Wrexham AFC, the Canadian actor and his buddy, Rob McElhenney, took the team to another level. While getting global recognition, Wrexham AFC hosted many celebrities as well. In the recent match, the Spirited star, Will Ferrell, also visited the game to support his co-star’s football team. But did you know Reynolds made a promise to bring Ferrell to the game back in 2021?
