Ryan Reynolds was fraught with nerves before Wrexham's historic promotion
Ryan Reynolds was 'adult diaper nervous' before Wrexham's latest promotion.
The Welsh football club made history earlier this year by becoming the first team in the English league system to win three consecutive promotions and the Deadpool actor - who co-owns the club with fellow Hollywood star Rob McElhenney - has revealed his fragile emotional state before the historic feat was achieved.
Speaking in the finale of the fourth season of documentary Welcome to Wrexham, Ryan said: 'I feel very nervous, like, very very nervous. 'Like, adult diaper nervous.'
Ryan's nerves came before Wrexham's promotion rivals Wycombe Wanderers lost 1-0 to Leyton Orient in April, which allowed the club to seal promotion to the Championship by beating Charlton Athletic 3-0 later that day.
The 48-year-old star explained: 'That was the moment I think all of us, everybody, the entire town, went 'Holy s***, this could happen.

Al Hilal Stuns Man City And Stirs The World: ‘One Of The Greatest Nights In Saudi Club Football'
Al Hilal's stunning 4-3 extra-time victory over English powerhouse Manchester City in the FIFA Club World Cup sent shockwaves through global football, but for seasoned followers of Asian football and the Roshn Saudi League, it felt like a long-overdue statement on the world stage. The Riyadh giants, who boast a record number of AFC Champions League titles, pulled off one of the most remarkable results in the competition's history Monday night in Orlando. With goals from Marcos Leonardo (2), Malcom, and Kalidou Koulibaly, Al Hilal outlasted the reigning UEFA Champions League winners in a pulsating round-of-16 clash. Al Hilal manager Simone Inzaghi praised his squad's heart and tactical discipline, declaring: 'The key to this result are the players, the heart they put on the pitch. Tonight, we had to do something extraordinary because we knew how good Manchester City are. We knew we had to climb Mount Everest without oxygen and we were great.' He added: 'We played with strong determination. They deserved it. They fought for every ball, and it gives satisfaction to the family of Al Hilal, Saudi Arabia, and the fans here with us.' Senegalese center-back Kalidou Koulibaly, who nodded home Al Hilal's third goal in extra time, said: 'We knew it would be a difficult game against one of the best teams in the world and we wanted to show our ideas, our talents, and our power. We took our chances, and we can be happy.' Brazilian forward Marcos Leonardo, the match's two-goal hero, delivered an emotional tribute: 'I've had a difficult time in the last two months. My mother spent 70 days in the ICU. Today she's fine, thank God. When I scored those two goals, I thought of her — she was able to watch the match. If they weren't watching, I wouldn't be here today.' While international media hailed the result as 'a shock,' it was instead a confirmation for Saudi football insiders: Al Hilal are not just participants — they're contenders. With the Saudi Pro League investing heavily in infrastructure, player development, and global talent, Monday night's victory underscored the Kingdom's ambitions to become a serious force in world football.

Scarlett Johansson wary of AI ‘threat'
Bang Showbiz | Los Angeles Scarlett Johansson doesn't think AI can replicate the 'soulfulness' of an actor or actress. The 40-year-old movie star believes AI has a role to play in the long-term future of the film industry, but Scarlett doesn't think the technology can replace the emotional core of an actor or actress' performance. She told The Sunday Times newspaper: 'I just don't believe the work I do can be done by AI. I don't believe the soulfulness of a performance can be replicated.' Despite this, Scarlett believes AI poses a threat to society more broadly. The Hollywood star explained: 'The bigger picture - about how we human beings, with fragile egos, can continue to have the trust that we have to have in one another, to continue as a society. It's a moral compass. 'We move around the world every day just knowing we have to trust in some basic reality that we all agree on. AI threatens the foundation of that, and that to me is very haunting.' Scarlett began working in the film industry as a child, and she recently acknowledged that child stardom can be a 'dangerous thing'. The actress - who made her film debut in North, the 1994 fantasy-comedy movie - thinks she was 'very fortunate' to come through child stardom unscathed. Speaking to Vanity Fair magazine, Scarlett explained: 'Making decisions on your own - like, adult decisions as a kid - it's a dangerous thing, right?' The Hollywood actress has seen other child stars struggle to cope with the pressures of fame and success. But Scarlett is thankful that she 'dodged a lot of it'. She said: ' I lived through that and also was very fortunate that I dodged a lot of it.' Scarlett starred alongside Bill Murray in Lost in Translation, the 2003 comedy-drama movie, and she now views the film as a turning point in her career. She explained: 'After Lost in Translation, every role that I was offered for years was 'the girlfriend,' 'the other woman,' a sex object - I couldn't get out of the cycle.
