RYAN REYNOLDS has thanked fans for the 'incredible' messages they sent to him via a signed birthday card.

The Deadpool star/Wrexham AFC co-chairman turned 47 years on Monday (October 23).

Hi friend and fellow club owner Rob McElhenney really outdid himself this time as he gifted Ryan his very own park in Wrexham.

A birthday card was also arranged for Ryan, so that fans could thank him for the 'happy times' he has provided to Wrexham so far.

The card itself - which can be found here - was a brainwave by James Grundy, who lives in Reading, and was signed by 60 people.

James said he 'fell in love' with the Wrexham story and the effect Ryan and Rob have had on the community there.

Ryan himself responded to the card, saying: "I can't thank you all enough for these incredible birthday messages. I'm trying to not let it go to my head, but it's too late for that. I'm going to be insufferable for the rest of the month.

"This town is my favourite thing in the world. Thank you!!!!! Ryan Reynolds".

"It's obviously brilliant to see the warm response from Ryan too. He clearly values the fan’s support and it’s great to see him engaging when they reach out."
