  • Ryan Reynolds has shared a comedic birthday message to his Wrexham co-owner, Rob McElhenney, by demanding people ‘respect’ the actor.
    Reynolds put together a full original song celebrating his friend, joking about how difficult it is to pronounce his surname, and gives a lesson in how to do it right.
    ‘A birthday card might’ve been easier’, he joked alongside the music video, which is a full-scale production.

    Little did I know that when I Googled how to pronounce Rob McElhenney's name that I'd get such a satisfying answer. Thanks, Ryan Reynolds and company, for clearing that up so emphatically.

      So glad I found your comment. I've been wondering how people in Ireland say it. Before I heard Rob pronounce it in some interview years ago, I always thought it was like "Mc-ELenny," with the Mc pronounced like in McDonald's and the accent on the "el"... and a silent H. Is the "Mc" really pronounced "Mac" and "heynee" instead of just "henee"?
