At the moment, Ryan Reynolds is facing extreme pressure from social media surrounding his soccer club’s promotion. To be honest, even the fans are extremely nervous about it. Before taking over Wrexham, Reynolds already had his feet dipped into many business ventures. The celebrity investor’s investment in soccer initially came across as a bizarre shock. However, in retrospect, it has all fallen into place.

In a recent interview, he explained the hardships that he faces while being a part of so many ventures. He also highlighted the importance of “emotional investment” rather than “financial investment”.

Ryan Reynolds emphasizes being emotionally involved

In a recent interview with CNBC, Reynolds answered questions about his investment in Nuvei, a payments technology firm. During the interview, he made it clear that he knew close to nothing about FinTech. He then continued, “Thank god I’m not running the company”.

“My job is storytelling—I think at Maximum Effort, our job would be more defined in not necessarily financial investment but emotional investment. If you look at a gin company, a wireless company, and a Welsh football club, those things don’t really go together if you think about it, but they all have strong brand foundations”.

Most recently, Wrexham managed to beat Yeovil Town with a convincing 3-0 scoreline. The Welsh soccer club headed into the game with just a single objective in mind, which was to ‘win’. The fans went absolutely berserk after winning the game. After a disappointing draw against Barnet, Reynolds’ team needed the win to give them a further cushion on the points table.

However, there’s no time to rest yet. With two games left in the normal season and a four-point lead, Reynolds’ Hollywood-esque dream is surely up and running. His recent investments in the club have surely paid off. The decision to bring Ben Foster out of retirement has proven to be more than golden. While nobody intends on jinxing it, the fans cannot wait for the season’s probable final game against Torquay United.
