Wrexham, the charming Welsh border city, has become quite accustomed to a touch of Hollywood glamour, with Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney's investment in Wrexham FC bringing a sprinkle of stardust. Now, it seems the city has charmed another celebrity, as Magic Mike's Channing Tatum recently visited and was utterly smitten by its allure. Channing took to social media to reminisce about his unforgettable trip, posting a series of snaps from his adventures around the once market town turned city in 2022. "Caffeine and dancing aside, that trip to Wrexham was something I'll never forget," he wrote, tipping his hat to what Ryan Reynolds @vancityreynolds and @robmcelhenney have achieved for the local community.
Delving into the details of his visit, Channing expressed his admiration: "The team and town have a sense of optimism and a ride or die loyalty that made me want to stay forever. Incredible work, Ryan and Rob. Good people build good things.". Signing off, the Jupiter Ascending actor showed his gratitude: "And thanks to the many beautiful people of Wrexham. Up the town! ". During his adventure, snaps shared on the web showed him taking in key sights including the city centre with St Giles Church as a backdrop, and the future site of the Ryan Rodney Reynolds Memorial Park - a tongue-in-cheek birthday present for the actor. This will see the existing Henblas Street facility revamped into a bustling community hub, reports Wales Online.
Naturally, no trip to Wrexham would be complete without a stop at the football club's STōK Cae Ras grounds. Here, Channing got to rub shoulders with some team members and wave to local fans who had gathered to welcome him. Channing joins a growing list of celebs visiting the football club recently, including Ryan and Rob's famous mates Hugh Jackman, Will Ferrell and Paul Rudd. Celeb obsessed?
