Ryan Reynolds has donated £1,600 to children's football team in Wrexham for them to buy a new kit.
The Hollywood star, 46, is a co-owner of the city's National League side, alongside Rob McElhenney.
He made the surprise donation via a GoFundMe page set up by Kayleigh Barton, whose son Keegan, 11, plays in the under-12s team - FC United of Wrexham.
Generous: Ryan Reynolds has donated £1,600 to children's football team in Wrexham for them to buy a new kit
She originally made a plea for £480 for the uniforms so the boys could match 'as they work so hard'.
Kayleigh told Sky News: 'I was nearly in tears. I know how much that money means to the club and the lads. Happy is an understatement.'
She told BBC Breakfast: 'I logged in and it said Ryan Reynolds and I just said "oh my god", I started shaking I just couldn't believe it.'
