Paul Rudd captured the moment Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney "blacked out" as Wrexham secured promotion to the Football League.
The Welsh football club beat Boreham Wood 3-1 on Saturday evening to secure the National League title and their return to League Two after 15 years out.
As the final whistle blows, owners Reynolds and McElhenney can be seen hugging and celebrating, as Wrexham fans flood the pitch to mob the players.
"Rob and I kinda blacked out during this moment, but somehow we’ll never forget it," Reynolds captioned the video.

A brilliant thing to do for the locals. This was more than just injecting money Rob and Ryan seemed to truly become football fans. They both invested a lot of time too despite them being busy people. Rob saw the passion in football that doesn’t exist in US sports and wanted to experience it himself. Hopefully we get more foreign owners who take this approach rather than buying big clubs then taking no further interest.
