Ryan Reynolds interrupts Ben Foster's press conference and leaves everyone in stitches

Foster was lobbed after 43 seconds against Boreham Wood but Wrexham went on to win and earn promotion back to the Football League.

Ryan Reynolds burst into a post match interview to demand Ben Foster's Wrexham shirt, as they celebrated promotion back to the Football League.

It's rarely a dull day when Reynolds is around the football club that he co-owns alongside fellow Hollywood actor Rob McElhenney.

The Canadian is often in attendance for the club's home games, especially their biggest matches, and earlier this season left the BBC pundits in hysterics during an interview.

He has lived every emotion with the team, calling goalkeeper Foster a 'son of a b***h,' after the former Premier League star saved a penalty in the huge win over Notts County earlier this month.

On Saturday, the Deadpool star once again went through the emotional ringer, as Wrexham beat Boreham Wood, despite conceding a goal after 34 seconds, to end 15 years in the National League.

After the match, Reynolds hilariously burst into the press conference his goalkeeper was in, and demanded he take his shirt for him, and you can see the moment in the video below.

One of the journalists in attendance asked the actor if he was going to be putting the shirt on eBay, with Reynolds answering, "Listen I work in show business, we've fallen on hard times recently."

Certainly he'll be having to pay out for a 'monster' party for the players, after promising that's what he'd give them as a reward for reaching League Two.

It was extremely important that the team won the league, with only one automatic promotion spot up for grabs from the National League.

They have been pushed by Notts County all season, with their rivals on 106 points with a game to go, which is already enough to have gone up in every other campaign.

However, Phil Parkinson's team were just a little bit better, and determined to avoid the play-offs after missing out on even reaching the final a year ago.

Foster only joined the push for promotion a few weeks ago, having come out of retirement to move to the club where he was on loan nearly 20 years ago.

Clearly he has loved his time in north Wales, claiming after the match, "It’s my seventh game right, and it’s like home already," he told BT Sport.

"Seriously, this club, this club is different I promise you. So that meant a lot that did, it’s really special."
