Ryan Reynolds: None of us are defined by our worst moments
Ryan Reynolds doesn't pay attention to his online critics. The 48-year-old actor and Blake Lively, his wife, are currently involved in a high-profile legal dispute with actor Justin Baldoni, but Ryan insists that he doesn't pay too much attention to the online discourse. Asked whether the online negativity impacts his business ventures, Ryan told Time magazine: "I can read something that says, 'He should be drawn and quartered.' I could read something that says I should win a Nobel Prize. Both are meaningless. "None of us are comprised of our best moments. None of us are defined by our worst moments. We are something in the middle." Ryan has found a healthy way of dealing with the scrutiny during his time in the spotlight. The Hollywood star - who has been married to Blake since 2012 - explained: "Accessibility and accountability are a big part of how I do things. "The people that I work with know me, so there's never a question of anything like that. If you operate with some degree of core values and integrity, they're going to help you up. If you're an a******, they're not. And that's pretty simple." Ryan's attitude has been shaped by "conflict-resolution workshops" that he previously attended. The Deadpool star said: "I skipped rehab in my 20s and decided to go to conflict-resolution workshops in Santa Fe. "Conflict resolution changed my life in a way that I can't quantify. You don't have to agree with the person. You can empathise, you can validate. You can do all those things and get closer to them without having to just blindly agree or win or lose." In 2020, Ryan and his showbiz pal Rob McElhenney became the co-owners of Wrexham AFC, a soccer club based in north Wales. The duo have helped to transform the fortunes of the team, and Rob appreciates Ryan's support and ambition. Rob said: "Ryan's involvement took this from a very small endeavour to a very large endeavour overnight because he has the ability to connect with millions and millions of people. And I don't just mean on social media. I mean spiritually."

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.' "We could not only be promoted, but we could make history while doing it." Rob revealed that his aim was to guide Wrexham to the Premier League when he and Ryan purchased the club in 2020 and stated that "no one's laughing" at his ambition anymore with the team just one division away from the top-flight. The It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia star said: "I just want to bask, would you just let me bask? We'll talk about the championship next year. "A few years ago, we were not in the English Football League. They asked us what was our goal, and I said the Premier League and people laughed. No one's laughing anymore... Now we're one away from the Premier League. It doesn't make any sense, it defies all rational thinking." Meanwhile, Reynolds credited the people of Wrexham for making the promotion possible. He said: "A back to back promotion doesn't happen. The only place it could happen is here. Wrexham's the only place that this kind of historical miracle could happen in. "Because of the town, because of the club, because of its history, because of its sadness, because of its joy, because of its perseverance and all of that comes together to make miracles, and that is doing a Wrexham." The Free Guy star explained earlier this year that he would "never get bored" of owning Wrexham as he has become addicted to football since getting involved with the club. He told Wrexham supporters podcast Fearless in Devotion: "I'm glad it happened when we are at the age I'm at. Because I don't think this is something I would have been able to handle any younger. I wouldn't change anything about my time here. I don't know how you get bored with something like this. "I love this sport so much now that now I hate it too – I really feel that in my cells."

Friday's briefing: Haaland hits 300th goal and Liverpool complete Kerkez signing
Cristiano Ronaldo's long-term future was resolved while Liverpool bolstered their backline. A simply outstanding display! 🩵 🦓 2-5 🩵 #FIFACWC — Manchester City (@ManCity) June 26, 2025 Erling Haaland scored his 300th career goal as Manchester City defied sweltering heat and a torrential downpour in Orlando to thump Juventus. City were pegged back after Jeremy Doku's early opener when Ederson gifted a goal to Teun Koopmeiners but their lead was restored when Pierre Kalulu turned into his own net at the Camping World Stadium. Haaland, reaching a notable landmark in senior football for club and country, came off the bench to bag the third and Phil Foden and Savinho made victory certain before Dusan Vlahovic's consolation. City manager Pep Guardiola said: 'I liked the way we did it. It has been a long time since we had a performance like this on and off the ball. The players were committed and we are happy to beat a top side. 'This is just one game but I think the players felt again what it was like to be a good team. It's the first time we've performed the way we can.' A new chapter begins. Same passion, same dream. Let's make history together. 🟡🔵 — Cristiano Ronaldo (@Cristiano) June 26, 2025 Cristiano Ronaldo has signed a new two-year deal at Al Nassr. The deal ties Ronaldo, whose contract was due to expire at the end of June, to the Saudi Pro League team beyond his 42nd birthday. Ronaldo wrote on X: 'A new chapter begins. Same passion, same dream. Let's make history together.' Ronaldo joined Al Nassr in December 2022 as a free agent after leaving Manchester United following a controversial interview in which he criticised the Premier League club. Liverpool have completed the £40million signing of Bournemouth left-back Milos Kerkez on a five-year contract. The 21-year-old is the club's third arrival this summer, following Jeremie Frimpong and club-record transfer Florian Wirtz. And with Valencia goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili joining next month in a deal done 12 months ago there will be more than £200million of new talent present when pre-season training starts in a fortnight. Kerkez said: 'I'm really happy. It's a real honour for me, a privilege to come to play for one of the biggest clubs in the world, (the) biggest club in England. I'm just really, really happy and excited.' Wrexham will start their 2025-26 Sky Bet Championship campaign with a mouth-watering trip to Southampton on Saturday, August 9. The Welsh club, co-owned by Deadpool star Ryan Reynolds and It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia co-creator Rob McElhenney, are back in the second tier for the first time in 43 years after winning three consecutive promotions. Wrexham met Eastleigh on the opening day of the Vanarama National League season in August 2022, but are now set to play grander Hampshire opposition three years on. St Mary's will be the venue for Wrexham's Championship bow as Will Still takes charge of relegated Southampton for the first time in a 12.30pm kick-off. City will be keeping a close eye on the final round of Group H fixtures as they will play the runners-up. Real Madrid currently sit top of the pile but play second-placed Red Bull Salzburg in Philadelphia. England Under-21s, meanwhile, will be gearing up for Saturday's European Championship final against Germany in Bratislava as Lee Carsley's side look to retain their continental crown.
