Hollywood star Ryan Reynolds ventured into a new field in 2020 with Rob McElhenney. He bought the world’s third-oldest soccer team, Wrexham FC. While many congratulated his new venture, as per him, the response of his wife and actress Blake Lively was something else. As the Deadpool actor is popularly known for his humor sense and sarcasm, he shared how Blake reacted to the decision to buy a soccer club.

It started first with Reynolds appreciating the work of the FX star. As a result, the duo became friends and bought a soccer club in the fifth division of the English soccer pyramid. However, when asked by Rob about his thoughts on the venture, Reynolds gave a hilarious reply involving Blake Lively.
