Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney have a date with the king on the latest season of their soccer-focused docuseries, Welcome to Wrexham.
The two actors, who purchased Welsh football club Wrexham AFC in 2020, speak about getting to interact with King Charles in a preview released Tuesday for the FX show.
So the king of England called, Reynolds deadpans in the video.
We went to monarchy boot camp, he quips. It was like the military, except your pinky is always up.
In one shot of the boot camp, the Deadpool actor jokes that he feels like a serial killer as his etiquette coach says that everything starts with a first impression.
Reynolds and McElhenney then practice a handshake technique for the king, which the coach describes as the two pumps and release.

The actors laugh (perhaps at the X-rated connotation of the statement), as the camera shows their perfect handshake form while greeting the king.
