Ryan Reynolds has truly changed the face of his new venture, Wrexham AFC. Since his massive takeover, the club has been doing wonders. Once a club that was struggling in the fifth tier is now at the top of the National League.

The Welsh club is eyeing a promotion to the fourth division, which would be a historic moment for fans. Furthermore, their cup run is going smoothly, as they reached the fourth round of the campaign.

Wrexham is set to face Sheffield United in the fourth round of soccer’s oldest competition, the FA Cup. They will be looking to get into the fifth round for the first time since 1996, when they reached the quarterfinals.

The Hollywood superstars shared a video featuring Blades fanatic Joe Elliott. The clip shows all three in massive waggish taunts about the clash, with the help of Def Leppard song title puns.
