A Bunch of Rescue Animals Were Named After Ryan Reynolds to Celebrate His Birthday (And Help Get Them Adopted)

On top of co-owning Wrexham AFC, It’s Always Sunny in Philidelphia creator Rob McElhenney is also best bugs with Deadpool star Ryan Reynolds. They usually celebrate their birthdays by getting each other a hilariously elaborate gift, such as Mcelhenney getting Reynolds a blimp with his face (as Deadpool) on it and Reynolds getting McElhenney a Titanic-inspired portrait of a topless McElhenney. But for Reynolds’ 48th birthday, McElhenney decided to get him a funny AND fund-raising gift!
