Chelsea FC: Ryan Reynolds responds with a cheeky X-rated reaction to Wrexham’s FA Cup draw
Ryan Reynolds, the Hollywood star who co-owns Welsh club Wrexham AFC with Rob McElhenney, has steered the team from the Football League to the Championship in just three seasons. Their high-profile ownership, paired with ambitious transfer moves, has aimed to accelerate the club’s ascent up the divisions, a journey they've chronicled in the documentary Welcome to Wrexham.
The latest twist in this fairy-tell tale comes as Wrexham are drawn to meet Chelsea, Liam Rosenior’s Premier League side, in the FA Cup last 16 at the Racecourse Ground.
The moment of the draw triggered Reynolds’ instant reaction. He initially seems unsure about what had happened, nudged by Jackman to confirm that it was indeed Chelsea they’d drawn. Realisation then hits, and Reynolds covers his mouth in astonishment.
"We’re home?" he asks, seeking confirmation about whether the match would be played in Wales or at Chelsea’s Stamford Bridge.
Agent Jackman replies, "That’s what you wanted!" sparking a celebratory high-five and a resounding cheer from Reynolds, who claps along before blurting out: "F! Yes! What the f!"
Wrexham earned their place in the fourth round by beating Ipswich 1-0 and will host Chelsea at the Racecourse Ground over the weekend of March 7-8.
This fixture marks another milestone in Wrexham’s dramatic rise, as the club continues to blend on-field ambitions with a global spotlight from its high-profile ownership and documentary project.
