Ryan Reynolds asked a Premier League legend if he 'can relocate' after making an extraordinary Wrexham offer.
Reynolds is in Germany for Euro 2024 - along with Deadpool & Wolverine co-star Hugh Jackman.
The pair of Hollywood A-listers are in full swing as they promote the movie, which is due to be released in the UK later this month.

Reynolds and Jackman made a trip to Berlin for a special fan event, and they even had time to crash Spanish television for their coverage of the Euros, resulting in a hilarious yet chaotic segment on RTVE.
The Hollywood pair also made an appearance on the latest episode of Rio Ferdinand's YouTube channel.
And during their chat, Reynolds extended a Wrexham offer to Ferdinand, who politely turned it down but said he'd be willing to help him off the pitch.

"Wrexham... I have huge respect for what you've done," said Ferdinand to which Reynolds replied: "How much respect? Are you willing to relocate?"
The former Manchester United defender answered: "In what capacity are you looking for me to be recruited. I can't play no [sic] more - but I'd help you off the pitch."
Reynolds appreciated the return offer, saying: "I could use some of that, too."
To which the ex-England international replied: "You're doing alright... don't you worry about that."

Ferdinand pressed Reynolds on Wrexham as the Canadian actor called his football venture as the 'greatest love of my life'.
He added: "Well they never stop. Wrexham is sort of, for some reason everything comes down to the wire over there - everything happens in the last two seconds of the match.
"I've never seen jubilation and explosive emotion like I have in Wrexham, but then so much more of it has to do with the city and the town in and of itself. I mean, just the fact it's kind of held up a mirror to the rest of the world where a lot of towns that have felt a little invisible and kind of like a flyover on some level - and they feel like Wrexham is holding up a mirror to them.

"And as much as the fact as everybody on Earth has a story to tell and there's something so heart-breaking and beautiful about the story that's coming out of Wrexham and this idea of when we got there it was 'Why me? Why us?' and 'Nothing good happens to us'.
"And admittedly, when I first started this thing I was a little fake it until you make it. And then I was just taken and I couldn't stop."
