How David Beckham ‘humiliated’ Hollywood A-lister Ryan Reynolds

Hollywood star Ryan Reynolds has revealed how football legend David Beckham put him and his Wrexham co-owner in their place.

Wrexham co-owner and Hollywood superstar Ryan Reynolds admitted he was left with egg on his face in a recent meeting with David Beckham at Wembley.

Reynolds looked back at that embarrassing moment during an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live as he was interviewed by fellow celebrity and Dragons owner Rob McElhenney, The Sun reported.

Reynolds and McElhenney bought the club in 2020 and are preparing to release a docu-series detailing their takeover called Welcome to Wrexham.

But the duo have shown they haven’t got everything down pat after detailing an embarrassing situation at the FA Trophy Final in May.

The Deadpool star and McElhenney both attended the match between their club and Bromley with various celebrities in the royal box, such as Will Ferrell and Beckham.

The Welsh outfit were 1-0 down after Michael Cheek’s opener but thought they had equalised in the fifth minute of stoppage time with Jack Hyde’s close-range header – but he was caught off-side.

Wrexham fans quickly went silent after seeing the linesman’s flag except for Reynolds and McElhenney who were still celebrating passionately long after the referee’s decision.

The BT Sport commentator said: “Somebody needs to explain the off-side rule to the A-listers.”

Beckham appeared to agree as he looked like one of the few people sitting in the celebrity wing that actually understood what was going on.

Speaking on Jimmy Kimmel Live recently, Reynolds was interviewed by McElhenney and looked back their gaffe, as well as how the Manchester United legend looked at them with disdain.

In fact, the celebrity duo admitted they didn’t get the off-side rule and the Inter Miami owner was so disappointed he shook his head at them.

“How humiliating,” Reynolds said. “In fairness, nobody understands the off-side rule. Please …”

McElhenney added: “Well nobody except one person.

“We were cheering. We looked over at Beckham. He was just shaking his head.”

Wrexham went on to lose the match and failed to gain promotion to League Two as they were later defeated in a thrilling semi-final playoff to Grimsby, who won 5-4 at the Racecourse Ground.
