Ryan Reynolds and Channing Tatum delight Wrexham fans with Fat Boar visit

Ryan Reynolds delighted locals at a Wrexham pub, buying a round for everyone and filming video messages for kids during a surprise visit with Hollywood stars.

Ryan Reynolds, co-owner of Wrexham AFC, continues to strengthen his bond with the local community, earning praise for his generosity and humility during a surprise visit to the Fat Boar pub in Wrexham. Joined by Hollywood actors Channing Tatum and Brandon Sklenar, Reynolds bought drinks for everyone in the pub and spent time mingling with fans on Friday night, ahead of Wrexham’s 2-2 draw with Cambridge United.

Rich Watkin, the co-owner of the Fat Boar, shared his admiration for Reynolds’ down-to-earth demeanor, saying, "He could so easily just have disappeared out the back door, but instead he put some money behind the bar and came out to speak. It’s obviously great for business, for people to see them in this pub."

Reynolds also took time to record video messages for the children of those he met during the evening, further endearing himself to locals. His visit created a buzz in the community and underscored his ongoing commitment to being a hands-on co-owner, a gesture that has made him immensely popular in Wales.

While Wrexham couldn’t secure a win in their following match with Tatum in attendance, Reynolds’ efforts off the pitch continue to shine a spotlight on the club and its town. As Wrexham prepares for their next match against Bristol Rovers, the community can count on Reynolds to remain a strong advocate and active presence.
