Ryan and Rob's Humorous Wham! Album Cover Makeover
Buddy business partners and co-owners of English football team Wrexham, Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, have given the iconic Wham! album covers a hilarious reboot.
Taking to his Instagram, McElhenney shared a black-and-white photo that recaptured the essence of Wham!'s hit single, "Last Christmas" (1986) cover. The monochromatic image featured a similar frame as the original, adding a humorous twist to the nostalgic aesthetic.
Images of their George Michael and Andrew Ridgeley's look-alike versions spread like wildfire on social media platforms, earning widespread entertainment. Reynolds himself posted the images on his Instagram stories, displaying a shared sense of humor.
Wrexham AFC saw significant success in April by defeating their National League Championship rivals, Notts County, with an impressive 3:2 victory in an unforgettable game. The photo was released a week prior to George Michael's death anniversary, the lead vocalist of Wham who gained fame as part of the band before transitioning into a successful solo artist.
Michael was found dead at his house in Oxfordshire on Christmas Day in 2016, aged 53. An autopsy report later confirmed the cause of death was natural causes.

While specifics about Ryan and Rob's approach are not available in current sources, their successful collaboration showcases a shared comedic sensibility.
