Ryan Reynolds calls up Wrexham stars and Robbie Savage for hilarious new film ad

mirror.co.uk, 15 November 2021, 14:38
The Hollywood A-lister and co-owner of the National League side has filmed a quirky new promotional video to promote his Netflix title 'Red Notice' alongside Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson and Gal Gadot

There's rarely a dull moment at Wrexham AFC these days, after Hollywood stars Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney completed their takeover of the club earlier this year.

Saturday saw the Dragons seal a thrilling 6-2 win in the National League over King's Lynn. And on Monday the club continued to raise its profile in new circles thanks to Reynolds' TV advert plug.

The Canadian stars in a video promoting his new Netflix film 'Red Notice' where he stars alongside Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson and Gal Gadot.

Never one to shirk the opportunity to promote his club, Reynolds uses the 67-second clip to shoehorn in all manner of people associated with the club.

Will Wrexham get promoted into the EFL this season? Let us know in the comments section

Players, supporters, the Mayor of Wrexham and even former Welsh international Robbie Savage feature in the tongue-in-cheek clip.

Reynolds opens it up by saying: "I personally can't stand those celebrities who take advantage of filming opportunities to plug their personal interests." - before the camera duly cuts to Reynolds donning matching Wrexham scarf and gloves.

Defender Ben Tozer then pops up and refers to one of the movie's stars, saying: "I kind of see myself as the Rock of Wrexham to be honest with you."

His bold statement is met with a hilarious facial response from midfielder Luke Young.

Another surreal moment comes when Mirror Sport columnist Savage, now head of football at fellow non-league side Macclesfield, appears to have a dig at Reynolds' co-stars in his native Welsh tongue.

The clip has already gained plenty of traction online with fans enjoying the approach adopted by Reynolds.

Wrexham are just starting to hit top form after scoring 11 goals in their last two games.

Manager Phil Parkinson knows that promotion is the demand from the club's Hollywood owners this season. Having completed their takeover back in February, Reynolds and McElhenney finally got to see their side in the flesh l ast month.

Their visit coincided with two league games, the second of which was at Wrexham's Racecourse ground and saw the pair receive a hero's welcome by the onlooking home fans.

Speaking about the level of ambition they have for the club, McElhenney said: "No one has gone from our league all the way up to the Premier League but some clubs have gone from the National League to the Championship.

"So we're obviously going to try and go above that - maybe this is just my own naivety.

"[But] we clearly have the structure and system potentially to allow us to grow at that scale. Why not dream big?"
