HOLLYWOOD stars Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney have given a £1billion boost to Wales, tourism chiefs say.
They reckon the pair have raised the whole country’s profile since buying Wrexham AFC and making it the centre of their Disney+ show, Welcome to Wrexham.
North Wales Tourism boss Jim Jones said: “The Rob and Ryan factor would undoubtedly be worth more than £1billion if you had to pay for the equivalent coverage in advertising.
“They’ve raised our profile, especially in North America, and we’re already seeing an influx of tourists as a result – and they’re not just going to Wrexham.”
When the team went on a US tour, they boasted that the TV series has made them the “most popular team in America.”
