The Wholesome And Witty World Of Ryan Reynolds

There’s simply no denying that Ryan Reynolds is one of the greats. The Hollywood actor has achieved worldwide fame, having starred as the titular character in the X-Men films Deadpool and Deadpool 2, as well as the romcoms Maybe and The Proposal.

More recently though, Ryan has thrown himself into the world of football after buying Wrexham FC for £ 2 million in February 2021, along with fellow actor Rob McElhenney.

Married to fellow actor Blake Lively, the couple share four children, and when he’s not pouring his heart over their little family, he’s playfully proving they’re indeed the ultimate couple with annual birthday tributes.

With all that, here are some of our favourite Ryan moments that will no doubt fill you with joy.

Ryan’s Sportsmanship Shines

In April 2023, Ryan showed off his unmatched sportsmanship during an interview on the pitch after his team Wrexham beat Boreham Wood 3-1. Besides celebrating his team’s victory, the star was quick to heap on praise to their competitors, leaving many fans in awe of his “class”.

That same month, Ryan got into the spirit of Wrexham after his club beat Notts County 3-2 and sung his heart out with fans. The actor was filmed belting his lungs out to a local band Declan Swans’ song “Always Sunny In Wrexham,” a tribute to the Hollywood owners.

Wholesome Hangouts

Ryan recently posted a picture of himself hanging out with Great British Bake Off judges Dame Prue Leith and Paul Hollywood on the set of the Channel 4 show. While we’re all hoping this is a huge hint that he’ll be entering this year’s series, we can’t get over the wholesomeness.

A True Team Player

Ryan is onside with his Wrexham players too, and jokingly grabbed Ben Foster’s shirt mid-interview. Yep, Ryan is so invested in the beautiful game that it took his breath away.

A Surprise Return

Ryan sent Marvel fans into a tailspin in September 2022 when he and Hugh Jackman revealed Wolverine’s return to the franchise in the most casual way.

A Generous Gesture

Ryan showed off his generous side in March 2023 when he funded Wrexham’s Under 12s with a new Deadpool-themed kit. The team had initially set up a GoFundMe page to raise £480 for new sportswear, but Ryan swooped in and gifted the team £1600.

A Shania Surprise

Shania Twain brilliantly switched up the lyrics to her classic “That Don’t Impress Me Much” at the 2022 People’s Choice Awards and changed her famous Brad Pitt line for Ryan’s name. Smiling in surprise, he seemed to mouth, “Oh my God, me?” before erupting into laughter.

A Musical Birthday Tribute

Ryan went above and beyond for his pal Rob’s birthday in 2023 and released a highly-produced song – and music video – to assist fans with pronouncing the actor’s surname. That’s friendship right there.
