In the world of sports and entertainment, very few stories are as captivating as that of Ryan Reynolds and Wrexham AFC. The Canadian star, along with fellow actor Rob McElhenney, has orchestrated a miraculous turnaround for the Welsh side. But as it turns out, Reynolds’ impact on the town of Wrexham extends far beyond the soccer realm, as the Deadpool star is also endorsing local businesses using his star power.

The actor received a generous present from a local Wrexham-based workshop. Ironically, the gift will be paired with a motorbike that Reynolds purchased from Wrexham’s rival town.

The Deadpool star was clearly pleased with the special helmet he received. The generous gift is also a testament to Reynolds’ close relationship with the local community. The actor has been a vocal supporter of local businesses ever since taking over the soccer club, and his endorsement of Arc and Hedon Workshop proves that.
