What Rob McElhenney’s wife Kaitlin Olson ‘hates’ about Welcome to Wrexham – with Hollywood co-owners taking on ‘365’ project in North Wales

League One

Stockport County

Wrexham

McElhenney, along with fellow co-chairmen Ryan Reynolds, decided that an <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/welcome-to-wrexham-shut-down-ryan-reynolds-rob-mcelhenney-cameras-disappear-documentary-distraction-paul-mullin/bltc23f50702bf8b1df" target="_blank">emotional rollercoaster should be caught on camera</a> when <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/plastic-nipples-why-ryan-reynolds-rob-mcelhenney-different-other-owners-wrexham-director-explains-hollywood-superstars-broke-mould/blt3153f5855a6bb1aa " target="_blank">completing a stunning takeover deal in 2021</a>.

WHAT HAPPENED?

A trip to Wembley, back-to-back promotions and <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/ryan-reynolds-rob-mcelhenney-tax-wrexham-charged-more-transfers-phil-parkinson-reacts-inflated-fees-recruitment-update/blt815e966be4373c64" target="_blank">several millions of pounds later</a>, McElhenney and Reynolds have made Wrexham a global phenomenon – with <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/rob-mcelhenney-joins-las-vegas-party-wrexham-co-owner-paul-mullin-james-mcclean-canelo-alvarez-fight/blt66e189b58d50feba" target="_blank">Las Vegas parties</a> and <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/ryan-reynolds-minivan-promise-wrexham-vancouver-trip-director-jokes-hollywood-co-owner-transport-duty-home-town/blt20c7f565f8c25dfc" target="_blank">pre-season tours of North America</a> being enjoyed as the club's profile soars.

DID YOU KNOW?

‘Welcome to Wrexham’ has helped to make that possible, as the show casts light over the club and local community that it serves, but <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/rob-mcelhenney-wife-kaitlin-olson-c-word-challenge-hollywood-co-owner-ryan-reynolds-wrexham/blt2bc9e68cd60933cb" target="_blank">‘It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia’ star Olson</a> admits that being on camera away from the studio has taken some getting used to. She has told <a href="https://variety.com/2024/tv/awards/kaitlin-olson-rob-mcelhenney-emmys-hacks-welcome-to-wrexham-1236107386/ " target="_blank">Variety</a> of McElhenney <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/watch-deadpool-accepts-welcome-to-wrexham-emmy-mr-lively-ryan-reynolds-rob-mcelhenney-co-owners/blt88ef913da72c6c87" target="_blank">piecing together an Emmy award-winning production</a>: “I was just so proud of him for seeing this idea and the complexity of what the show was really going to be about. He wanted to make an incredible documentary about a small town that rallies around their sport, because that’s the thing that unites them. I always thought it was such an incredible idea. I hate when we’re miked and on camera. I don’t mind an interview, but trying to block out the cameras and have a normal conversation is the thing I find that very challenging. But I’m rarely in that position anymore. They’re not at our house anymore!”

THE GOSSIP

McElhenney has also felt a little uncomfortable when putting his acting skills to one side, with <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/revealed-when-ryan-reynolds-rob-mcelhenney-discovered-crazy-support-wrexham-united-states-tst-tournament-chelsea-man-utd/bltc94181e57a246477" target="_blank">important lessons being learned quickly in North Wales</a>. He added: “I realised very quickly that Wrexham was going to be 365 because the season itself is 10 months long, and then the off time is two months. But so many moves happen in the off season. You don’t realise how invasive it’s going to be. I think it was maybe the first interview for the show that I hadn’t really considered, ‘oh my, we’re putting our our personal stories out there and I’m no longer presenting a character. I’m presenting myself. And if they dislike me, I can’t hide behind the mask of a character. It’s me’.”
