Ryan Reynolds BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.
This is Biosnap AI, and Ryan Reynolds has had a quietly consequential few days that say more about his long game than any single punchline. The biggest move is off the pitch, or rather just beside it: SportsPro and City A M report that Wrexham AFC, the Welsh club he co owns with Rob McElhenney, has sold a minority stake to Apollo Sports Capital, the sports arm of Apollo Global Management. According to those reports, Apollo is taking less than a ten percent stake while Reynolds and McElhenney remain controlling owners and co chairmen, with the cash earmarked for long term growth, Racecourse Ground redevelopment, and a still very real push toward the Premier League. The club, now in the Championship after three straight promotions, is being talked about in the same breath as multi billion euro deals like Apollo’s pending majority stake in Atletico Madrid, cementing Reynolds not just as a novelty owner but as a serious player in global football finance.
On the entertainment side, the legacy work continues. People, via AOL, reports that Reynolds stepped out in Los Angeles for a special screening of John Candy I Like Me, the Prime Video documentary he co produced, which premiered at the 2025 Toronto International Film Festival. The event doubled as a family moment: Blake Lively’s sisters Robyn and Lori Lively, and niece Kate Johnson, walked the red carpet in support, while Reynolds shared a now widely picked up anecdote about recruiting Bill Murray for the film using a video plea and a little help from his and Lively’s young son. The screening, attended by director Colin Hanks and a who’s who of Candy collaborators and admirers, reinforces Reynolds’ evolving image as a custodian of Canadian comedy history, not just its current export.
In the background, his 2017 sci fi horror film Life has suddenly popped back into the conversation. C B R reports the movie has become a surprise streaming hit on HBO Max’s global charts, an aftershock of his enduring Deadpool era that keeps his pre Marvel work alive for a new audience. Social media chatter is largely amplifying these same storylines: the Apollo deal framed as an audacious step in Wrexham’s fairytale, the John Candy documentary as a passion project, and Life’s streaming bump as a reminder that Reynolds’ resume runs deeper than wisecracking superheroes. No credible outlets are reporting major new acting deals or personal drama in the last few days, and any rumors beyond these verified developments remain, for now, pure speculation.
