Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney have made Wales the toast of West Hollywood.
Welcome to WrexhamWhen I recorded the promo to announce the show, it became very clear to me that both Rob and Ryan had a deep respect for the Welsh language.
Rob, particularly, has really thrown himself into being an honorary Welshman, and is consistently surprising the Welsh speaking community with his language skills."But I hope to keep going and one day speak it fluently enough to be able to tell jokes in Welsh."They are often held on the east coast, where there is a larger number of Welsh diaspora, so it was exciting to hear that this year, the government was to hold an event on Friday, 4 March, in Los Angeles.
"The creative industry and sport are the two priorities for the Welsh government in North America, and it is so important that we can bring everyone together, make new connections, and make new relationships to help build the profile of Wales here and create more opportunities and jobs for Wales and Welsh people," said Eoghan O'Regan, deputy head of the Welsh government in the US.
"It is such a great opportunity to bring Wales to Los Angeles, and Los Angeles to Wales, and to create really valuable partnerships for Wales," said Sian. Prior to the event, many people had asked whether Rob would say something in Welsh, and Rob did not disappoint. I remember growing up and experiencing those incidents that many of us have shared, on public transport or in a social setting, and hearing visitors to Wales say loudly that I was only speaking Welsh to my sister or friends so that they wouldn't understand.
