Ryan Reynolds offered soccer star Paul Mullin his lungs after a major injury in ‘Welcome to Wrexham’ season 3 premiere
The Welcome to Wrexham season 3 premiere kicked off with a recap of the second season finale — Wrexham AFC was officially promoted to the English Football League for the first time in 15 years.
“Rob was so kind, he offered Paul his own home to stay in,” Reynolds, 47, joked during the episode, which aired on Thursday, May 2. “I felt a little like, I’m going to have to compete with that somehow. So, I offered Paul my lungs. I just said, ‘You can have the lungs and you’ll be playing before you know it.’”
Mullen’s injury occurred during Wrexham’s preseason game against Manchester United, which took place in San Diego. The tense scene on the field showed Mullen, 29, laying horizontal after colliding with a player from the other team. “I can’t breathe,” he could be heard wheezing as his lips turned visibly blue.
“They basically said that if I got on a plane, my lung would expand, and because there’s a hole already in it, basically it would pop,” Mullen said. “Then, you’re in trouble when you’re flying over the Atlantic Ocean. You ain’t got many hospitals to go to in that circumstance.”
