WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Reynolds, along with fellow co-chairman Rob McElhenney, has <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/why-channing-tatum-will-ferrell-hugh-jackman-want-wrexham-tickets-ryan-reynolds-explains-red-dragons-vip-guest-list/blt8fb43d88b6e1bceb" target="_blank">often invited famous friends over</a> to North Wales, allowing Wrexham’s playing squad to <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/how-will-ferrell-delivered-biggest-what-is-going-on-moment-wrexham-ryan-reynolds-rob-mcelhenney-a-list-friends-efl-experience/bltc6e9ebf26248284f" target="_blank">rub shoulders with the likes of Will Ferrell</a>, Hugh Jackman, Eva Longoria, Paul Rudd and Channing Tatum.</p>

THE GOSSIP

<p>Some have been <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/new-wrexham-fan-channing-tatum-ride-or-die-mentality-ryan-reynolds-rob-mcelhenney/blt4eeaff629b3a11c6" target="_blank">bitten by the acting bug</a>, with Palmer and Paul Mullin both landing <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/ryan-reynolds-apologised-paul-mullin-star-deadpool-and-wolverine-wrexham-striker-royalty-treatment-hollywood-set/blt4899d180276cc7f4" target="_blank">cameo roles alongside Reynolds and Jackman in the Deadpool &amp; Wolverine blockbuster</a>. Cleworth admits that certain Red Dragons are more comfortable in front of the camera than others.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>He told the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rJiM9k7i58k " target="_blank"><em>Men In Blazers</em></a> podcast when asked to pick out the team-mate that has most embraced the attention that famous owners and the <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/more-series-ryan-reynolds-rob-mcelhnney-make-welcome-to-wrexham-as-long-as-they-can-deadpool-actor-more-emotionally-attached-red-dragons-than-marvel-hollywood/bltc2428a5bcd998f4c " target="_blank">award-winning ‘Welcome to Wrexham’ documentary series</a> have brought: “Ollie Palmer is quite good. He’s always ready. He’s naturally quite good in front of the camera.  He’s been in a few [movies] now. He needs a few more to get his portfolio up a bit.”</p>

WHAT MAX CLEWORTH SAID

<p>While Palmer is a natural performer, on and off the pitch, Cleworth said of adjusting to the <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/welcome-to-wrexham-cameras-caught-ben-tozer-off-guard-dressing-room-rant-paul-mullin/bltea2a9a205eaf82d5" target="_blank">demands of documentary film-makers</a> and regular requests to fill acting roles in commercials – such as the one <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/face-planted-table-channing-tatum-reveals-embarrassing-wrexham-tumble-super-bowl-advert-another-visit-north-wales-ryan-reynolds/blt64e1d8ce819374bb" target="_blank">shot with ‘Magic Mike’ star Tatum for Super Bowl LIX</a>: “It doesn’t get any easier with the amount that we’ve done. When someone asks you to do something in front of the camera, still find it nervous.”</p>

TELL ME MORE

<p>Cleworth has every right to feel more at home on the field than he does facing the cameras off, with the 22-year-old defender seeing his stock rise again in 2024-25 as he is <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/ryan-reynolds-rob-mcelhenney-player-premier-league-written-all-over-him-max-cleworth-go-now-stay-wrexham-transfer-dilemma/blta4c13039d25bc4f8" target="_blank">billed as a potential Premier League star</a> of the future – with <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/ryan-reynolds-rob-mcelhenney-premier-league-wrexham-plans-appeal-big-company/blt51bff5d5dd93c645" target="_blank">Wrexham hoping to reach that level as a collective</a>.</p>
