Wrexham AFC is obligated to their Hollywood owners, Ryan Reynolds, and Rob McElhenney. The actors have been making headlines for their remarkable work at the Welsh club. It was just three weeks ago they managed to pull off a special promotion and finally get across the line.

It was due to the whole squad that the Red Dragons were able to achieve the historic promotion. The club has become a second home for the actors. In fact, the owners and their families have built quite a bond with each other. Recently, Reynolds joked about how one of his players greets his wife without a shirt.

In a recent podcast with Fearless in Devotion, Reynolds, and McElhenney sat down for an interview to give some excruciating details. Hence, during the podcast, they were asked who loved to be around the cameras and enjoyed the limelight the most. Reynolds instantly answered the question by taking Ollie Palmer’s name.

Although his buddy McElhenney denied it by saying, “By far not even close,” the Deadpool actor supported his answer with a backstory. “Every time we’ve come as a family and stuff, we’ll walk down to the locker room and Ollie will always be the first guy that walks out of that dressing room completely shirtless to have a conversation with my wife.”

He paused and then said, “She’s always like, ‘Ollie put a f**king shirt on and come back out like a gentleman.’” The actor later had some heartfelt words for the striker. “Ollie is one of the best guys we know genuinely, one of the guys. He’s also one of the funniest guys I know and I’m also really thrilled for him and his clothing brand WXM has been great. It’s nice to see him soar like that.”

The relationship between Palmer and Reynolds goes back a long way. Both have also exchanged hilarious banter. In fact, there was one time he called Palmer his stepdad.

Calling Ollie Palmer his stepdad!

Last month, Wrexham achieved an incredible victory against Notts County, putting the Red Dragons favorably for promotion. However, amidst the celebrations, Reynolds humorously shifted his attention elsewhere. He shared an Instagram story featuring a picture of his mother and Ollie Palmer together. And below it, he wrote a peculiar caption.

He wrote, “@olliep9_ making all my mom’s dreams come true. #StepDad.” However, this wasn’t the only time he made the bizarre but hilarious stepdad joke, as he once did the same thing with the club’s captain, Ben Tozer. And certainly, this shows the level of friendship Palmer has with Reynolds.
