One is a Hollywood star worth an estimated £56million, while the other is a fifth-tier football club in a Welsh market town. But Ryan Reynolds and Wrexham AFC (right) could now become united after it emerged the Deadpool actor wants to invest in the National League team. Reynolds (top left) and Rob McElhenney (bottom left), an actor are best known for creating It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, are set to make the unlikely foray into UK football. The American duo won approval from 98 per cent of club members to get to this stage, and a takeover could see £2million invested in the fan-owned club. Wrexham director Spencer Harris said he had spoken to the duo on a Zoom call last night after the club was backed to hold further investment talks. It is not yet clear why the actors want to invest in the world's third oldest professional football club, with the club saying it was a 'question for them in good time'. Reynolds, who has varied business interests, last night replied to a 2012 tweet (inset) that said: 'You never know when Ryan Reynolds is going to turn up in Wrexham.' The Canadian-born actor told his 16.5million Twitter followers: 'Yep, you never know.'
