‘Hey, c***, check your Instagram!’ - Rob McElhenney uses wife Kaitlin Olson to highlight C-word challenge he faces alongside fellow Hollywood co-owner Ryan Reynolds at Wrexham

<p>After <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/why-ryan-reynolds-rob-mcelhenney-wrexham-good-crazy-hollywood-superstars-embrace-rare-opportunity-real-life/blt9147a42938846cdf" target="_blank">acquiring the Welsh outfit in a stunning takeover deal back in 2021</a>, McElhenney and Reynolds have been <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/news/ryan-reynolds-rob-mcelhenney-rid-wrexham-man-utd-liverpool-city-shirts-faw-global-enterprise/blt811ecbfe098a81d3" target="_blank">eager to “respect” British culture</a>. Those efforts are being made on and off the field, with the pair fully aware that they are stepping a long way outside of their on-screen comfort zone.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>They have <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/rename-the-racecourse-ryan-reynolds-course-wrexham-backed-ride-promotion-wave-reality-his-playing-field-levels-league-one/blt6de4637a4d48ce43" target="_blank">been successful for the most part</a>, with back-to-back promotions <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/fire-up-jet-vegas-ryan-reynolds-rob-mcelhenney-sin-city-party-message-elliot-lee-celebrate-promotions-wrexham/blt6ecaa3b927e191ee" target="_blank">taking Wrexham from the National League and into League One</a>.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>McElhenney is, however, prepared to admit that there are quirks in the United Kingdom that take some getting used to. He has told the <em>Jimmy Kimmel Live</em> show: “We are very careful about using the term football and we always want to be respectful of the fact that we are outsiders – an American and a Canadian that are coming in and we want to adopt a lot of the culture and not try to change anything. But there are certain things that we can’t, that just don’t translate. There is the use of a word over there, that begins with a C, that means something very different to us here. It doesn’t translate. They use it a lot and it’s used very freely. It’s not gender specific, you hear it in general conversation. I was at a restaurant and I heard a 12-year-old call another 12-year-old this, in a joking fashion! I don’t want to code switch and have to worry about coming back and forth. I don’t want Kaitlin to scream down ‘hey, c***, check your Instagram!’”</p><center><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="362" src="https://youtube.com/embed/51iSwav2tLg" title="YouTube video player" width="644"></iframe></center>
