had quite an unusual birthday present for Wrexham AFC co-owner .
The Deadpool star, 45, unveiled a commemorative urinal dedicated to the actor at the club’s football stadium in the Welsh town, poking fun in honour of his 45th birthday.
Reynolds and McElhenney from the Wrexham Supporters Trust in February 2021, investing £2million under the terms of the deal.
In an incredible video posted to Twitter, Reynolds cut a tiny red ribbon strung across a golden plaque with McElhenney’s name and birth date, and placed above a urinal in a bathroom block at the Racecourse Ground.
The plaque read: ‘This urinal is dedicated to Robert McElhenney on his birthday – April 14.
‘With love from Wrexham AFC, paid for by Ryan Reynolds.’
In the video, Reynolds delivered an eloquent speech and popped a bottle of champagne during a mocking ceremony, while emotional music played in the background.
He said: ‘Today we commemorate a man, not just any man, Mr. co-chairman Robert Lucinda McElhenney, with this memorial urinal.’
Twitter absolutely loved the gesture, with Robbie Fowler replying: ‘What a man.’
The club’s official account also replied to the video, writing: ‘Happy birthday, @RMcElhenney. Here’s to a year full of happiness, every time you visit the urinal…’
McElhenney is the creator and producer of the long-running American TV series It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia, in which he also stars.
Wrexham AFC was formed at The Turf in 1864 and the Racecourse remains the world’s oldest stadium that continues to stage international games.
Earlier this month, Reynolds showed his joy as their club at Wembley by rushing on to the pitch to hug the goal-scoring hero who sealed their fate.
Player Paul Mullin broke the 0-0 tie by scoring in the 91st minute.
He then further assured the team’s victory by making it 2-0 just two minutes later.
Wrexham’s last appearance at the FA Trophy final was in 2015, when they lost on penalties to North Ferribly United.
At the start of 2022, Reynolds and McElhenney also to a fundraising page set up by footballer Jordan Davies, following the death of his baby.
