Channing Tatum Reflects on Unforgettable Trip With Ryan Reynolds

Channing Tatum knows he scored an unforgettable trip to Wales with Ryan Reynolds.

“Caffeine and dancing aside, that trip to Wrexham was something I’ll never forget,” Tatum, 44, wrote via Instagram on Sunday, February 9. “What Ryan Reynolds @vancityreynolds and @robmcelhenney have done for the community in Wrexham is magic. I spent a few days (and nights) there. The team and town have a sense of optimism and a ride or die loyalty that made me want to stay forever.”

In an assortment of photos, the Magic Mike star was seen exploring the city of Wales while also visiting the stadium where Wrexham plays their games.

Tatum also gave credit to coowners Reynolds, 48, and Rob McElhenney for creating something special that extends far beyond the sports community.
