Here, Mirror Football takes a closer look at his fascinating career, personal life, and the fortune he's built off the pitch.

Humble beginnings to Hollywood icon

Born in Vancouver in October 1976, grew up as the youngest of four brothers in an Irish Catholic family. He caught the acting bug early, landing his first roles in his early teens on Canadian TV dramas such as The Odyssey and the Nickelodeon series Hillside.

His early film work culminated in a breakthrough with the cult comedy Van Wilder in 2002. Though not an instant global hit, it set him on course for stardom. Later romantic comedies like Definitely, Maybe, Just Friends, and The Proposal helped cement his status as a charismatic lead.

Not every venture struck gold - Green Lantern, a big-budget superhero outing, was a critical and commercial disappointment. But Reynolds bounced back in spectacular fashion with Deadpool, a cheeky and violent Marvel spinoff that earned over £581million worldwide on a modest budget of just £46m.

The sequel was another runaway success, reinforcing Reynolds' box office draw.

Net worth

Now 46, Reynolds is estimated to be worth more than £320m. He's successfully diversified beyond acting, showing sharp business instincts in recent years.

He acquired a significant share of Aviation Gin, a small distillery based in Portland, Oregon. With his help, it grew into an internationally recognised brand. In 2020, the drinks company Diageo purchased it in a deal worth over £470m.

Then, in 2022, Reynolds cashed in again by selling his stake in Mint Mobile, a budget US telecoms provider. That deal, reportedly valued at £1.1billion, is said to have netted him over £240m.

In 2024, Reynolds earned around £79m from acting alone - thanks in part to the success of Deadpool & Wolverine, the family-friendly IF, and his continuing involvement in the hit documentary Welcome to Wrexham.

The Hollywood duo have invested more than £20m into the Welsh club, but promotion and increased exposure are now bringing in significant returns. Wrexham are expected to earn an additional £8m in broadcast revenue following their latest rise.

High-profile relationships

Reynolds' personal life has also kept him in the headlines. He was previously engaged to Canadian singer , whom he met at birthday bash in 2002. They called off the engagement in 2007, but have remained on good terms.

He later married actress in an intimate ceremony in Vancouver in 2008. However, their relationship lasted just two years. Johansson later said their hectic careers made it difficult to spend meaningful time together, telling Time Out: "We work and then go home - I'd just stare at the wall for a few hours before I got to sleep."

Reynolds has also been linked with several other well-known actresses, including , , and .

Blake Lively

Reynolds met while filming Green Lantern, and the two began dating soon after. They wed in 2012 and are now considered one of Hollywood's most admired couples, raising four children together.

Their original wedding venue was Boone Hall Plantation in South Carolina. They later held a second, more private ceremony at home, though the details remain closely guarded.

Reynolds and Lively are beloved by Wrexham fans for their playful public personas. At one match, Lively cheekily advised a young female supporter to "dump" her boyfriend, while Reynolds jokingly warned player Ollie Palmer to "put a shirt on" around his wife.

Both were in attendance for Wrexham's , cheering from the stands as their investment in the club continued to pay off - both financially and emotionally.
