Ryan Reynolds and Rob Mac, the creators of Welcome to Wrexham, had once gone to great lengths to make Celebrity Traitors star Charlotte Church a part of their docuseries. The FX show captures how the duo has turned Wrexham A.F.C. into a football success story, as well as the rise of the Welsh community.
Celebrity Traitors’ Charlotte Church on her Welcome to Wrexham appearance
The Wrexham A.F.C. owners invited the Welsh singer and actress to feature on the first season of Welcome to Wrexham. This was for a segment that showcased the Welsh culture. She performed the songs, “Men of Harlech,” and the national anthem, “Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau.”
However, Charlotte Church revealed recently how Ryan Reynolds and Robert McElhenney, AKA Rob Mac, flew her over to New York for the filming just so they could include her touch. To do so, they even brought along her three children so that she has nothing to worry about.
The Celebrity Traitors alumna recently recalled the whole thing on the Dish podcast. She explained, “He [Reynolds] flew me and my kids out to New York because they were doing the show about Wrexham, and I went, and I sang the national anthem, Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau. The kids were like, ‘It’s Ryan Reynolds; we have to go.’”
“So I was like, ‘I’m a working mum; unfortunately, you’re going to have to bring all three of my children out,’ and they were like, ‘Yeah, sure, fine,’” Church continued. “They got to meet him and Rob McElhenney, and they were delicious. They were so kind, and they’re so lovely. I think what they’re doing for Wales – in terms of Wrexham and stuff – it’s really genuine.”
Ryan Reynolds and Rob Mac had taken over Wrexham A.F.C. in 2021, and since then, their investment in it has resulted in changing the professional football club’s fortune and recognition in the town. Currently, the duo is working on Season 5 of Welcome to Wrexham.
