In 2021, Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney purchased the Wrexham Association Foot Club, according to The Guardian. Their ownership was accompanied by the Hulu documentary series "Welcome to Wrexham," which, according to the streaming network, "tracks their crash course in ownership and the interwoven fates of a team and a town."
The football club is based out of Racecourse Ground, where the actors met King Charles III and Queen Consort Camilla on the pitch after their grand entrance through the players' tunnel, says Mirror. Prior to the meeting, North Wales Live reports that Reynolds talked about what he hoped to share with the King. "I would love to tell him a little about what it is that we're hoping to achieve with the renovation of the Kop stand," he said about the special fan seating in the stadium. "And what that will mean to not just the club, but the community of Wrexham as well."
As for the gin, Reynolds is also the owner of Aviation Gin and was asked during his pre-meet-up press conference if he was going to gift a bottle to King Charles. Per North Wales Live, the actor replied: "I don't want to compete with the Royal gin now. That might create a conflict of interest."
