Since becoming the proud owner of Wrexham AFC last last year, Deadpool star Ryan Reynolds has already started to familiarise himself with all things Cymru.
He initially celebrated his successful takeover of the football team, along with acting pal Rob McElhenney, by tweeting out a spoof advertising video for Ifor Williams Trailers - Wrexham's team sponsor. And now the Hollywood heart-throb has been given a crash course in learning Welsh on national television.
The 44-year-old Canadian actor was given a list of handy phrases to say ahead of when he eventually comes here to visit by interviewer Alison Hammond on today's This Morning programme on ITV.
Phonetically spelled out on flashcards, Reynolds was given the task of learning how to say 'good morning', order a pint in a pub and shout 'That's a penalty' at the referee.
Not all the translations were particularly accurate, however. 'Pint of beer, please' (Peint o gwrw, os gwelwch yn dda) became 'paint oh goo-roo, please'.
"Oh, so please in Welsh is just 'please'?" asked Reynolds.
"No, I couldn't do the Welsh for 'please' because it's too long," replied Hammond, before apologising to all the Welsh speakers watching at home.
The film star also got to attempt telling Hammond he loved her in Welsh before finishing off with, 'Hoffwn i gorff a charisma Hugh Jackman' - 'I wish I had the body and charisma of Hugh Jackman'.
"I can't stomach the man," Reynolds joked, hinting at his long-running and light-hearted rivalry with the Australian actor - best known for playing fellow comic book character Wolverine.
"He's the nicest on man on Earth and I find that threatening. In fact, he makes ice cream look like murder. That's how nice Hugh Jackman is."
On why he and McElhenney picked Wrexham as their pet project, Reynolds added: "It seemed like an interesting proposition. What really struck a chord (for us) was how intrinsically tied communities are to their football clubs - that was all encompassing with Wrexham.
"Taking them back into the English football league is our goal and our hope - we're super excited."
