Ryan Reynolds gifts Wrexham co-owner Rob McElhenney ‘memorial’ urinal for his birthday | Ents & Arts News
Hollywood star and Wrexham FC co-owner Ryan Reynolds presented a commemorative urinal to Rob McElhenney at the club’s stadium.
This couple took complete control of the National League club from Wrexham Supporters Trust in February 2021, investing £2 million.
Reynolds posted a video on Twitter of himself in the toilet, wishing his co-owner a happy 45th birthday.
He cut a small red ribbon to reveal a gold plaque with McElhenney’s face on it and popped open a bottle of bubbly.
Next to his face, the plaque bears his name and date of birth and has been placed above the urinal in a block of bathhouses at the Racecourse.
The sign read: “This urinal was dedicated to Robert McElhenney on his birthday – April 14.
“With love from Wrexham AFC, paid for by Ryan Reynolds.”
In the video, Reynolds gives a speech, while emotional music plays in the background.
“Today we commemorate a man, not just any man, co-chairman Robert Lucinda McElhenney, with this memorial urinal,” he said.
Wrexham AFC was founded at The Turf in 1864 and the Racecourse remains the oldest stadium in the world that continues to host international matches.
McElhenney is the creator and producer of the American television series It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia, in which he also stars.
