Danny DeVito leaves Wrexham fans in disbelief as Hollywood star celebrates last-gasp winner in LA bar
Danny DeVito was dishing out the cheers and high fives as he celebrated Wrexham's late winner against Barnsley.
The It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia star was watching the game with co-star and club co-owner Rob McElhenney at the Cosm Los Angeles. The virtual stadium boasts an incredible 87-foot, 12K resolution screen that completely immerses viewers into the heart of the action. The venue shows fixtures on 180 degree domed screens and simulates the experience of being inside the stadium. It will be hard to believe if an EFL League One clash has had this kind of experience before.
Cosm also installed several 8K cameras around Wrexham's Racecourse Ground ahead of the match to capture all angles. Always Sunny colleagues Kaitlin Olson, Charlie Day and Glenn Howerton were also in attendance, alongside fans and and several NFL stars. However, fellow club co-owner Ryan Reynolds was not there. The midweek game was a tight affair with the scores tied at 0-0 until the 92nd minute when Red Dragons midfielder Ollie Rathbone capped off a marauding run with an excellent long range finish.
It secured victory for Phil Parkinson's side who are currently second in the table and chasing an unprecedented third successive promotion. DeVito can be seen high-fiving other fans and pumping his fists in the air as McElhenney grins in delight. Cans of Wrexham Lager, the brand recently bought by McElhenney and Wrexham co-owner Ryan Reynolds, can also be seen on the tables.
Wrexham supporters reacted with astonishment on social media, with the Rob Ryan Red podcast saying: "Danny Devito giving out high fives as Wrexham nick it against Barnsley. What a world we live in." Footage shared by Cosm on X showed the moment the Twins and Batman Returns star jubilantly celebrated the winning goal. Last month, supporters named DeVito as the Hollywood star they'd love to see visit the Racecourse next.
