Hollywood actor Ryan Reynolds has joked that his Wrexham players will be in for a very different experience at the end of the next season after their lavish trip to Las Vegas to celebrate their achievements.
Wrexham managed to win the National League and get promoted to the football league for the first time in 11 years. In order to reward the players for their incredible work all season, Reynolds and co-owner Rob McElhenney decided to take them on an all-expenses paid trip to Las Vegas.
Star striker Paul Mullin and midfielder Elliot Lee shared a picture they grabbed with former Jersey Shore star Pauly D, who now DJs in Vegas at Marquee. That was when Reynolds decided that he needed to make a joke.
Reynolds changes the tone
Sharing the picture to his Instagram story, Reynolds wrote: “Next year, they’re going on a five-day meditation retreat in the Faroe Islands.”
It was former Manchester United goalkeeper Ben Foster, who joined the club part way through the season, who first explained that the owners had promised a big trip if they get promoted.
“They’ve promised us a big deal, though, at the end of the season,” Foster told CBS Sports. “They’ve promised us a monster one at the end of the season. If we get promoted, they’re gonna take us away somewhere with a lot of flashing lights.”
Mullin was Wrexham’s top scorer as they won the National League and he said to GQ that he “might be dead by the end” of the celebrations. “It became a thing where if we won the league, we’d get a holiday,” he said.
“So we’re off to Vegas. Ryan and Rob told us to leave our cards at home, they’re sorting the lot. They sent us a full itinerary just now. Part of me doesn’t want to go, I might be dead by the end of it. But I’d never go to Vegas by my own accord, so I’m buzzing for it.”
