Wrexham co-owner Ryan Reynolds has revealed he had to repeatedly tell one of the club’s stars to put a shirt on around his wife Blake Lively.
The Welsh club are still toasting being crowned National League champions last month, with Reynolds and fellow co-owner Rob McElhenney treating the squad to an all-expenses-paid trip to Las Vegas.
The Hollywood stars have been heavily involved with the squad, with the pair having made trips into the dressing room during visits in the promotion campaign.
Reynolds told the Fearless in Devotion podcast that when he had entered the dressing room with his actress wife Blake Lively, one player was repeatedly found topless.
The star said he had to order Ollie Palmer to put a shirt on when speaking to Lively.

Co-owners Reynolds and McElhenney said Palmer is ‘one of the best guys’ they know
Reynolds and McElhenney were asked which of the club’s stars have enjoyed the limelight the most.
Reynolds immediately responded ‘Ollie Palmer’, with McElhenney adding ‘It’s not even close’.
‘Every time we’ve come as a family we’ve come over we have a walk down to the dressing room,’ Reynolds said.
‘Ollie is always the first one to walk out, completely shirtless, to have a conversation with my wife.
‘I’m like Ollie put a f***ing shirt on and come back out to speak to her like a gentleman’.
Palmer, who was signed for club record fee of £300,000 in January 2022, has also established a clothing brand as well as helping Wrexham earn League Two status.
The Wxm clothing line, which includes a range of hoodies, t-shirts, jumpers and hats, has been branded around the club and the Welsh town.
Wrexham announced in November that a share of all profits made on sales in the club shop would be used to support the Wrexham Community Trust.

Members of the Wrexham squad were seen sporting Wxm branded champions hoodies on their way to Las Vegas for the promotion celebrations earlier this month.
‘Ollie is one of the best guys I know though,’ Reynolds added.
‘He is also one of the funniest guys I know. And I’m thrilled for him and his clothing brand.
‘It’s nice to see that take off.’
Palmer said he wanted to give back to the community when he launched the streetwear brand with his business partner last year.
‘WXM Clothing is a brand affiliated to the town of Wrexham, North Wales, and historically the Football Club which is why we decided to bring out the Wxm 1864 range,’ Palmer said.
‘We came up with a streetwear brand, something that is relatable to the people of Wrexham and North Wales.
‘Giving profits to the community when you can is important, but to give back to the community that has given so much to me is really important.
