Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney’s love for Paul Mullin knows no bounds.

The biggest name at Wrexham outside of their superstar owners, Mullin fired the Dragons back to the Football League last season after a 15-year absence.
His signing was one of the main features of the ‘Welcome to Wrexham’ documentary, and understandably so, with 79 goals in 97 games ever since.
Reynolds has even joked he loves him more than his wife, Blake Lively, and now McElhenney is taking care of him in Los Angeles.
In a hysterical clip posted to his 1.6million Instagram followers, the Always Sunny in Philadelphia star is seen videoing himself discussing leaving LA for Wrexham’s first game back in League Two.

Then he’s interrupted by a Scouse accent asking for a pillow.
“Yep, I’ll get you a pillow,” McElhenney says before revealing the bed-ridden striker and continuing the sketch.
Mullin picked up the brutal injury against Manchester United in a pre-season game on July 26.
Playing against a second-string side, Mullin was taken out by youth goalkeeper Nathan Bishop in the 12th minute, and required oxygen and medical assistance to leave the pitch.
The 3-1 win for Wrexham took place at the Snapdragon Stadium in California, with Mullin staying behind to heal as he’s set to miss his side’s first handful of games back in the EFL.
