The Welcome to Wrexham documentary has been a huge hit among Reds supporters and football fans as a whole, but there is one scene that co-owner Ryan Reynolds refused to have filmed for season three of the Disney-made show.
Earlier on this week Reynolds, who invested in the north Wales club alongside Hollywood actor Rob McElhenney, was awarded the Order of British Columbia by Lt. Gov. Janet Austin in a private ceremony in his home country of Canada.
According to the Mirror, "the award is the highest form of recognition the Canadian province of British Columbia can bestow on its citizens and recognises those who have gone above and beyond".

The Deadpool star was presented with the Certificate of Appointment by Premier David Eby in a ceremony. But Reynolds declined the production crew's request to film the moment.
"They wanted to come here, but I said no," Reynolds told the Vancouver Sun. He also confirmed that series three of the show is currently shooting now and will be out in April.
He posted on Instagram about the award he was presented with. "Receiving the Order of British Columbia is the honour of a lifetime. I could have been born anywhere but I had the dumb and incredible luck to be made in Vancouver. **Contrary to my earlier belief, the award is NOT a political appointment.** It’s merely symbolic and holds no real power.
"To that end, I may have made some promises to several folks working at Minerva’s restaurant in Kerrisdale - as well as Tyler who works in the produce section at Safeway on 4th and Vine. Grouse Mountain will never be a giant slip ‘n slide. Mountains don’t work that way. I shouldn’t have mentioned it much less commissioned detailed CAD drawings. Nor can I make the Vancouver Art Gallery my personal residence. That’s another overreach. Apologies to the gallery staff for any misunderstanding this morning. It isn’t “happy hour somewhere”. You have a job to do and I was out of line.
"Thank you, @lgjanetaustin and @davidebybc and everybody on the OBC selection committee. Also, huge thanks to my three older brothers, Patrick, Terry and Jeff as well as my mom, Tammy… we’re always there for each other. No matter what. Love you.
"p.s. Being home for 24 hours made my life 10,000 hours better."
