Wrexham's A-List owner Ryan Reynolds and Hollywood pal Hugh Jackman celebrate the Welsh soccer team's 'HUGE' FA Cup 1-0 victory to book its place in the third round

Ryan Reynolds hosted a famous guest at his apartment to watch the third round of the FA Cup on Sunday.

Reynolds, a part owner of Wrexham AFC, posted a photo of himself with Australian actor Hugh Jackman.

The photo was captioned, ‘Watching @WrexhamAFC in the @EmiratesFACup with Prisoner 24601.’

That last bit there is a reference to when Jackman played Jean Valjean in the 2013 movie adaptation of the musical Les Miserables.

One response to the tweet was from the FA Cup account itself, which said, ‘Thought that was The Greatest Showman?’ – a nod to another one of Jackman’s roles.

Another twitter user replied, ‘Now retired, Deadpool [Reynolds] and Wolverine [Jackman] spend their time in the retirement home doing jigsaw puzzles and reminiscing on the good days.

‘While Deadpool still has his mind and looks toward the photographer, Logan’s gaze – like his thoughts – drift aimlessly.’

While Reynolds posted the two of them sitting calmly – with an incomplete jigsaw puzzle in front of them – it was different from what Jackman posted.

The Aussie showed a joyfully screaming Reynolds after Wrexham scored late in their match against Shrewsbury Town.

A pass in the box from Paul Mullin found the feet of defender Thomas O’Connor.

O’Connor’s shot took a deflection off a defender’s thigh but carried toward the net. Despite the goalkeeper getting a glove on it, the ball trickled into the goal for a 1-0 lead.

It’s a massive win for the Red Dragons in their derby with the Shrews which sees them progress to the fourth round.

That’s the same stage the team reached last season before they fell to Sheffield United by a 3-1 score.

If they win their upcoming FA Cup match, it’ll be the first time they’ve reached the fifth round of the competition since the 1980-81 season.

The FA Cup’s fourth-round draw takes place on January 27.
