Ryan Reynolds has hilarious response after Wrexham star’s comments on talkSPORT complimenting looks of co-owner’s mum

Wrexham co-owner Ryan Reynolds is known for his many Hollywood hits in addition to his film star good looks.

And it seems like it’s his mum he has to thank for his handsomeness. That’s according to Wrexham captain Ben Tozer, anyway!

The north Wales outfit stole the spotlight on Easter Monday beating title rivals Notts County at the Racecourse in a must-win clash, with both clubs on 100 points and only one automatic promotion spot up for grabs.

Wrexham came out on top in the end in what really was a game fit for Hollywood that saw Ben Foster save a last-minute penalty to send his side back to the summit of England’s fifth tier.

Reynolds and co-owner, Rob McElhenney, were spotted celebrating with their players after the pivotal victory.

But it turns out Reynolds mum got involved in the celebrations too and even earned the affection of one of Wrexham’s stars – captain Tozer.

The 33-year-old defender joined talkSPORT Breakfast the morning after the game and following his reaction to the games’ drama, host Laura Woods said: “Ryan Reynold’s mum has been flirting with you as well, you’re her favourite.”

Tozer played it down, but talked warmly of his boss’ 77-year-old mother. “Not quite her favourite, but we had a lovely hug though.”

But it was what he said next that left the talkSPORT studio in stitches.

“She’s not a bad looking woman at 77 it’s got to be said!” he laughed.

Not everyone would take too kindly to hearing someone has the hots for their mum, but Reynolds had a brilliant response to Tozer’s claim on talkSPORT.

Replying to talkSPORT’s video, Reynolds tweeted: “Get promoted and I’ll make you my new stepdad, Tozer.”

Only one team is guaranteed automatic promotion to the EFL and, should Wrexham remain top of the table, the club will return to the Football League for the first time since 2008.

It’s something Reynolds and McElhenney have been building towards ever since getting the keys to the club in 2020.
