Wrexham co-owner Ryan Reynolds has been called "honorary Welsh" by acting legend Sir Anthony Hopkins . The Oscar winner made the remarks after Wrexham returned to the Football League. After the team's promotion on Saturday, Reynolds said he "was somewhere between giggling and sobbing" after the team's promotion on Saturday, April 22.
The promotion has ended a 15-year non-league stint for the team. Reynolds celebrated on Twitter, writing: "Everything I own smells like champagne, beer and grass. I’m still somewhere between giggling and sobbing. This town and this sport is one of the most romantic things on earth. Thank you, @Wrexham_AFC."
Before the kick-off on Saturday, fans in a Wrexham pub were joined by some famous faces. Ant-Man actor Paul Rudd joined fans for some selfies at The Turf Pub, while film director Joe Russo - who has directed many Marvel films including Avengers and Captain America films - also joined in the fun.
