Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds have raised the profile of Wrexham massively since they took over the club.
Rob McElhenney was the driving force behind the takeover after being inspired by the ‘Sunderland Till I Die’ documentary.
The Always Sunny star then brought Ryan Reynolds on board and the Hollywood pair have now transformed Wrexham on and off the pitch.
On the footballing side, the Red Dragons finally ended a 15-year stint in the National League and are now firmly in the race to win promotion from League One to the Championship.
Away from the pitch, the Disney+ ‘Welcome to Wrexham‘ documentary has garnered the club a huge American following.
This, coupled with the high-profile nature of their owners, has seen Wrexham gain a number of celebrity followers since McElhenney and Reynolds purchased the club in 2021.
Now, we have taken a look at the five biggest famous faces who have shown their support for the little town in Wales.
