Ryan Reynolds said he cried “tears of joy” after Wrexham secured a second successive promotion, while Rob McElhenney said he has “no words”.
The Hollywood actors, who took charge of the Welsh football club in 2021, saw their team seal their place in League One next season with a 6-0 victory over Forest Green.
Fans invaded the field to celebrate the end of the game at the Hippodrome.
Wrexham were promoted to the Football League at the end of last season after a 15-year absence, with a open bus parade which saw tens of thousands of people turn out to mark the achievement.
Deadpool star Reynolds47, wrote on X: “A few years ago, if you told me I would be crying tears of joy over a football match taking place in North Wales, you would be Rob McElhenney.
“Congratulations to Wrexham and my crime co-chair. Double the city! This is the trip of a lifetime.”
McElhenney, 46, who co-created It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia, said he was watching the Los Angeles game and wrote on X: “Speechless.” He also posted a heart emoji.
While watching the match, he praised 29-year-old striker Paul Mullin, who scored two first-half goals to help Wrexham lead 4-0 at half-time.
“This might be my favorite goal of his. Not a game winner or anything fancy. Just perseverance, agility and courage,” he wrote.
“@PMullin7 knows the people in that stadium didn’t pay their hard-earned salary to see the guys give 95%. They deserve 100% and he gives it to them all the time.”
McElhenney previously left Mullin recover in your home after suffering an injury during a US friendly against Manchester United.
