Ryan looked dapper as he donned a black velvet suit while taking to the stage to accept the award. 

During his speech he said he is focused on exploring new forms of storytelling as he explained his decision to purchase Wrexham FC.

The star of comic-book movies such as Deadpool and Green Lantern made headlines last year when he bought the lowly Welsh soccer team along with fellow actor Rob.

Their takeover and the fifth-tier team’s subsequent bid for promotion was the subject of hit docuseries Welcome to Wrexham, the latest in a booming trend of behind-the-scenes sports documentaries.

Sport ‘is storytelling happening in real time. So I love applying that to Wrexham,’ Ryan said at the gala on Thursday.

‘I’ve fallen in love with not just Wrexham but the people of Wales. I knew I’d be entrenched in the town, I just didn’t know that it would go this deep this quickly.

‘It’s been amazing. It’s been truly one of the great privileges of my life.’

He added: ‘We live in a world that moves incredibly fast. If you can move at the speed of what people are talking about, when they’re talking about it, you can move mountains — and sports is that.’

Ryan was honoured with the American Cinematheque Award, a ‘mid-career achievement’ prize given to one star at the event each year. 

Previous honorees have included Al Pacino, Tom Cruise, and Steven Spielberg.
