What happens when two business partners and longtime pals come together to recreate the magic of one of the most iconic duos in pop history? Well, you get Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney channeling the spirit of Wham! in the most epic way possible!
In a delightful tribute that’s sure to make you smile, the owners of the UK soccer team Wrexham A.F.C., Reynolds and McElhenney, decided to pay homage to Wham!’s unforgettable cover art. And boy, did they nail it! In a series of Instagram posts, the duo transformed themselves into George Michael and Andrew Ridgeley, capturing the essence of Wham!’s timeless appeal.
McElhenney, the comedic genius and star of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, couldn’t have captioned it better. “WREXHAM,” he fittingly wrote, inviting us all to immerse ourselves in the magic of their recreation. The first slide takes us back to the black-and-white allure of Wham!’s hit 1986 track, “Last Christmas.” It’s the perfect way to kickstart the holiday season with a dash of nostalgia. But they didn’t stop there! The second slide brings us to the vibrant energy of Wham!’s 1983 album Fantastic. Red leather jackets, infectious energy, and pure ’80s goodness!
As we approach the seventh anniversary of George Michael’s untimely passing, this heartfelt tribute is a reminder of the enduring legacy he left behind. His music continues to captivate audiences around the world, with “Last Christmas” still claiming its spot on the Billboard Hot 100 songs chart and the Holiday 100 tally. It’s a testament to the timeless magic Wham! created and the indelible mark they’ve made on pop culture.
