Ryan Reynolds goes through range of emotions in FA Cup match

Ryan Reynolds went from joy to despair, and punch-the-air ecstasy to desolation.

The unlikely new love of his life — Welsh soccer club Wrexham — put the movie star on an emotional roller-coaster Sunday in a thrill-a-minute FA Cup match that had an ending not quite in the script.

Wrexham, the fifth-tier team bought by Reynolds and fellow Hollywood actor Rob McElhenney for $2.5 million in November 2020 on the recommendation of one of their writers, conceded in the fifth minute of stoppage time to draw 3-3 with Sheffield United.

Reynolds and one of his daughters flew in for the fourth-round match at the atmospheric Racecourse Ground in north Wales, about 50 kilometres south of Liverpool, and went through a whole range of emotions as the goals poured in at either end.

He’s getting used to it by now.
