Reynolds celebrating 48th birthdayReceives incredible surprise from McElhenneyPosts epic response to his Wrexham co-ownerFollow GOAL on WhatsApp! 🟢📱WHAT HAPPENED?
The Hollywood stars have enjoyed poking fun at one another throughout their time in charge of Wrexham and are at it again with the latest instalment designed to celebrate Reynolds' birthday. McElhenney announced a surprise for his Wrexham co-owner in a video on social media where he urged viewers to "AdoptARyan" in honour of his good friend's birthday. The star joked he wanted to give Reynolds "unconditional love" on his special day and has teamed up with American animal welfare organisation Best Friends Animal Society to rename a host of adoptable animals including dogs, cats, horses and donkeys "Ryan Reynolds" in a bid to rehome them.

McElhenney has also pledged to match all match all donations up to $25,000 (£19,300) until the end of the month in honour of Reynolds' birthday with the aim of trying to "help save all dogs and cats across the country."
WHAT REYNOLDS SAID
Reynolds was quick to respond with his own post on Instagram and is already thinking about his next move: "I was expecting some sort of assault on decency or thinly veiled attack on Canada. Instead, I got one of the greatest gifts of my life in knowing Rob McElhenney. He is as wonderful and singular as you’d imagine and I’m the luckiest guy on earth. I’m also immediately reconfiguring Rob’s birthday surprise for this April. Despite devoting considerable time and resources, I’m withdrawing from the original plan, which wasn’t necessarily kidnapping Rob… I wouldn’t even describe it as an “abduction”. I’d call it an, “involuntary, forced and rapid relocation system.” Now, it’s going to have to be something kind and joyful. And less of a felony."
