RYAN Reynolds has compared his Wrexham AFC co-chairman to the ancient ruler of Macedonia in their latest twitter banter exchange.

It started when Angela O'Brien, a Masters student in classics, ancient history and archaeology tweeted a photo of the facial reconstruction of Philip II of Macedon created at the University of Manchester.

Angela, who has the twitter handle @GrecianGirly, posted: "A facial reconstruction of Philip II of Macedon created by a team at the University of Manchester. Philip was born in 382 BCE and reigned from 359 BCE until his assassination in 336 BCE. He was succeeded by his son Alexander the Great."

Rob saw the image and was struck with the resemblance to himself.

He also made reference to Alexander the Great who succeeded Philip.

Rob said: "I had an okay run but my son was GREAT."

His Hollywood pal and business partner Ryan Reynolds saw the tweet and agreed the likeness was uncanny,

He said: "Honestly, this could not look more like you. The brown hair, the dead inside eye. Gorgeous."

Rob, who created the record-breaking comedy It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, and Deadpool actor Ryan completed the takeover of Wrexham AFC in February,
