RYAN REYNOLDS has upped his charm offensive on Gareth Bale with a hilarious Instagram post.
That’s as the Hollywood star attempts to sign Wales’ legendary forward for Wrexham.
Reynolds and fellow American actor Rob McElhenney are the toast of the town after guiding Wrexham back to the EFL.
They saw off the threat of Notts Country to seal the National League title last weekend.
And fans can look forward to next season’s League Two campaign with additional reinforcements in key areas.
Wrexham have already proved their pulling power by tempting ex-Man Utd and England goalie Ben Foster out of retirement.

It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia creator McElhenney kicked things off by offering to play a round of golf with Bale.
The five-time Champions League winner had given Wrexham a hearty congratulations on their promotion.
And McElhenney teased he would convince Bale to come aboard for their League Two campaign.

Deadpool star Reynolds then doubled down on the golf offer, telling Bale he’d “shave” a course onto McElhenney’s back.
And the funny-man has now made a fresh attempt to sign Bale by posting a mock-up of the forward in a Wrexham shirt – with the 1984 song “We Belong” by Pat Benatar playing in the background.
The chorus goes: “We belong to the light, we belong to the thunder.
“We belong to the sound of the words we’ve both fallen under.
“Whatever we deny or embrace for worse or for better.
“We belong, we belong, we belong together.”
However, Bale shot down talk of a sensational move after collecting an Outstanding Contribution to Sport Award at the FEVO Sport Industry Awards last night.
He said: “I’m enjoying my time away. I started at a young age and felt the time was right.
“[Wrexham?] No I don’t think so, I was more looking for a free round of golf off Rob!

“I’m sure we’ll have a chat and a joke but I’m quite happy where I am. Spending a lot of time with my kids, my wife.
“Time that I’ve lost so much of over the years being committed to football. I’m just enjoying family life and playing some golf.”
