The Hollywood star met with the PM at Number 10 during a break in filming for his new Deadpool movie.

Reynolds recently announced a partnership with TV channel S4C which will see Welsh-language shows available in the US on the actor's channel Maximum Effort.

"With Deadpool paused, we visited 10 Downing to discuss the excellence of UK film crews and Maximum Effort," he said.

"Aside from shooting back home, the UK is my favourite place to make a movie. Hoping to see even more film work head to Wales.

"Rob would have joined but he's currently having a word with Man United's youth team goalie."

The North Wales-based football club was bought by Ryan Reynolds and It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia co-creator Rob McElhenney in 2020.

The club's journey since then has been documented in a Disney+ documentary, Welcome to Wrexham, which recently received six Emmy nominations.
