Wrexham's Hollywood owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney have attracted some of their famous A-list friends to The Racecourse Ground, with the club boasting some big-name fans.

Since being taken over by actors Reynolds and McElhenney in 2020, Wrexham have enjoyed a huge boost in profile as they close in on promotion to League Two.

They claimed a thrilling 3-2 victory over Notts County on Monday to move clear of their nearest rivals at the top of the National League.

Reynolds and McElhenney were in attendance for their side's massive win, but they're not the only big names to have watched the Welsh side in action this season.

Below is a list of some of the famous people who have been spotted at Wrexham.

Will Ferrell

He even went for a drink at The Turf before kick-off.

David Beckham

The former Manchester United and Real Madrid superstar actually watched a Wrexham game with the aforementioned Ferrell.

He also rubbed shoulders with Reynolds and his wife, Blake Lively.

Hugh Jackman

The Wolverine star and Reynolds are big pals, having had a comedic feud for years.

In an interview, the Australian actor joked that 'to stick it to Reynolds' he would score the winning goal against Wrexham.

He said he will try out for one of their rival teams.

"I will admit to you that when Ryan bought that team, I did get more than one offer from rivals of that team for £1 to come in as a co-owner and it did seriously tempt me," he said.

Blake Lively

Lively has been married to Reynolds since 2012 after meeting during the filming of the Green Lantern, which they co-starred in.

She's often seen with the Deadpool star at Wrexham games and even cracks jokes to fans.

Emma Corrin

British actor Corrin, who stared in the Netflix hit series The Crown, was a special guest for Monday's clash against County and is set to star alongside Reynolds in the upcoming Deadpool 3.

John Cleese and Jason Watkins

A picture emerged of Cleese and Watkins sporting Wrexham shirts following the club's 3-3 draw with Championship outfit Sheffield United in the FA Cup. They forced a replay, but lost the tie 3-1.
