This week, there have been reports stating that Ryan Reynolds has bought a £1.5 million house in the North Wales town of Marford.

The actor from Deadpool, who is rumored to be worth £120 million, looks to be establishing himself in Wales after becoming leadership of the local Wrexham football team.

Even while it would seem like a huge departure from his Hollywood lifestyle, Ryan is really used to living in the peaceful countryside across the pond with his wife Blake Lively.

The couple is said to live around 4 miles from Pound Ridge, a town in New York State with 5,104 residents as of the 2010 census, together with their 4 children.

And MailOnline looks at which other celebrities have relocated to peaceful locations, from Kate Moss’ serene existence in the country to Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel’s home in the rolling hills.

Quiet life: Ryan Reynolds has reportedly bought a £1.5M home in a quiet North Wales village – MailOnline takes a look at which other A-list celebrities have swapped the high life to move to sleepy towns?

Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively’s NY state home

The famous couple are thought to live around four miles outside of Pond Ridge, a town in Westchester County, New York.

With many parks and a secluded ambience, the town offers a rural feel for residents.

Ryan has previously described it as ‘living on a farm in New York, sharing: We don’t lead a wild and crazy life. I’ve never been the guy stumbling out of bars at three in the morning, at least that anyone is aware of. It’s never been my thing.’

While according to E! News, he and Blake are a ‘staple in the town’s community’, with the outlet sharing that ‘locals describe them as extremely nice and well-liked’

They report: They have a bit of a routine around town that can only be described as, well, idyllic. There’s the Bedford Post Inn, an elegant 19th-century country resort that has long played host to celebs looking to relax and recharge, and the location of Blake’s second 𝚋𝚊𝚋𝚢 shower.’

Knowing their quiet life in the US makes more sense of Ryan’s reported purchase in Wales’ sleepy village of Marford.

The quaint village is a far cry from the hustle and bustle of big cities, with its biggest attraction a volunteer-run forest at a disused quarry and just one Co-op shop to its name.

The home – reportedly the ‘poshest in the street’ – is just just five miles north-east of Wrexham where he and fellow movie giant Rob McElhenney run the town’s football club.

Marford has been part of both England and Wales over the years – being just a few miles from the border.

The village has a population of roughly 2,500 people. There are two pubs, one at the bottom of the Marford hill – The Trevor Arms – and the other at the top, The Red Lion.

Kate Moss’ quiet Cotswolds life

Despite being known for her party-hard London lifestyle, Kate Moss spends her time in the central-southwest English countryside these days.

It was revealed that the supermodel, who grew up in Croyden, made the move to the Cotswolds back in 2021.

And while she enjoys a quieter life outside the city, the Grade II listed mansion home is still quite the superstar bad – boasting 10 bedrooms.

Kate previously revealed how much she loved life in the countryside, telling The Times: ‘You do things you could never do in the city — sleeping outside, cooking on a fire, all of those things that, growing up in Croydon, I kind of didn’t have, you know?

‘It’s like having another childhood or being in the Famous Five. It’s those simple things that make your life proper, isn’t it?’

A hit with the locals, Kate is known for regularly been delivering home-cooked meals to the elderly, which come from her brother Nick – who runs a Vietnamese food-delivery truck, dubbed Vietvan.

Her efforts have gone down a treat with the locals, as they have reportedly taken to the government’s official webpage to nominate her for the OBE.

Describing her as ‘really popular’ and ‘part of the community’, locals of Kate’s town, Little Faringdon, explained that they would love to see her with the honour.

One resident told The Sun: ‘She has no airs and graces and chats to everyone. She’s also started giving back, and is dishing out food and meals to the elderly who can’t get out and about.

‘There’s been a lot of talk in the village about how Kate deserves an OBE. She’s a huge admirer of the Queen and made herself very much a main figure in support at the Jubilee. Having an OBE would mean a great deal to her.

‘She’s never come over haughty or entitled and she deserves a gong,’ continued the local.
