Revealed: How many steps nervous ‘caged tiger’ Ryan Reynolds takes during a Wrexham game – with Hollywood superstar explaining his ‘coping mechanisms’

League One

Wrexham

Exeter

The Deadpool actor, along with fellow co-chairman Rob McElhenney, was <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/ryan-reynolds-vs-rob-mcelhenney-which-wrexham-co-owner-knows-most-about-football-director-reveals-hollywood-superstars-competent-clueless/blt99371c7c46129934" target="_blank">unaware of quite what he was letting himself in for</a> when completing a stunning takeover of the Red Dragons in 2021.

WHAT HAPPENED?

There has been plenty to keep him entertained – including a <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">trip to Wembley and back-to-back promotions</a> – but Wrexham have a habit of doing things the hard way and that <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/ryan-reynolds-epic-wrexham-win/blt63cb14ef17070262" target="_blank">does little for the stress levels of those in the crowd and boardroom</a>.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Reynolds, who is promoting his new Deadpool &amp; Wolverine film alongside Hugh Jackman, has told <a href="https://x.com/BBCTheOneShow/status/1811469491026432038 " target="_blank">The One Show</a> of how nervous he gets when Wrexham are playing: “My coping mechanisms as I’ve gotten older are not great. One time I checked how many steps I got through during a match and it was like nine-and-a-half thousand. I’m like a caged tiger, I live, breathe, eat and sleep Wrexham and the only thing that can derail from that is Deadpool because Deadpool swallows your whole life and that’s the only way to do it, to let it consume you, so I’m so happy to be back now.”

WHAT REYNOLDS SAID
