'You're in a documentary' - Ryan Reynolds & Rob McElhenney film Welcome to Wrexham star Humphrey Ker's stunned reaction as he's told he's got to run a marathon to raise £250k

Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney did away with their usual video call with Ker, a star in the Welcome to Wrexham documentary, and instead told the club's executive director that he's got to run a marathon in order to help raise £250,000 ($326k) for the Wrexham Miners Project. Unbeknownst to Ker, his speech to the project, telling them that he'll have to run a marathon "if that's what it takes", was filmed, and this video was relayed to him by the co-owners in what made for some brilliant content.

The Wrexham Miners Project is Wrexham's official charity partner for 2024-25, and Ker will run in the London Marathon next year as part of the club's efforts to support the local initiative. The project's aim is to "preserve and celebrate the rich mining heritage of the area", and Ker's run will go a long way to helping them reach the £250,000 target.

Reynolds and McElhenney will each donate £26,200 ($34,250) to the fund, in reference to the 26.2-mile marathon distance. But they have no desire to join Ker in his slog next April. "We'll be comfortably watching from a distance," Reynolds says in the video.

The trio will be delighted with the start that Phil Parkinson's side have made to the season. Four wins from their opening five matches leave the Red Dragons top of League One, with Birmingham up next on Monday evening.
