WREXHAM star Paul Mullin has revealed all on what it's like to film with Ryan Reynolds after the two shot an advert together.
Deadpool star Reynolds co-owns the Welsh club alongside Hollywood pal Rob McElhenney.
Mullin was the pair's first marquee signing, with the two enticing him to drop down from League Two to the National League after he had won the league's player of the season while playing for Cambridge.
When Mullin arrived at the Racecourse, filming for the Disney documentary series 'Welcome To Wrexham' was already well underway.
He has opened up about the ups and downs of having his playing career filmed at all times by a camera team in his new book: "My Wrexham Story".
He wrote about the first time the players shot an trailer for the show alongside Reynolds, saying: "Ryan wanted to do an advert for the show and use a couple of the lads.

"The idea was he’d burst into a full changing-room and deliver a monologue about how cold it was outside and how we needed to get out of this league that plays in the winter, in so doing, showing his own (feigned) ignorance – of course every league plays through the winter.
"My role in this little drama is to mutter, ‘Idiot!’ Nose-to-nose he then launches into me. ‘Mullin! I will shove a red card so far up your a** people will think it’s your tongue!’ It was mad sitting there and seeing him acting in front of us, to see close up just how good he is at what he does.
"My problem was that, compared to him, I could only see me making a fool of myself. Sounds mad, but I do worry generally about making a show of myself."
Mullin has a close relationship with the team's Hollywood owners and recuperated in McElhenney's home after suffering a punctured lung against Manchester United in pre-season.
