Ryan Reynolds visits Welsh pub with A-list pal and floors punters with incredible gesture

Ryan Reynolds and Channing Tatum were joined by a third celebrity as they arrived at The Fat Boar in Wrexham for a fun-fuelled Friday night - with the Deadpool star buying drinks for all

Ryan Reynolds and Channing Tatum brought delight and madness to a pub in Wales when they dropped in to the surprise of locals.

The Deadpool and Wolverine actors were in Wales ahead of a Wrexham AFC match - the EFL League One team that 48-year-old Canadian star Ryan owns along with fellow Hollywood star Rob McElhenney, 47. Ryan and Channing, 44, caused a stir when they arrived at The Fat Boar - a gastropub found in the Welsh city that has been open and run by Rich Watkin since 2015.

Footage of the lads in the pub has gone viral - with Ryan shown preparing to do some singing before vowing to buy everyone in the pub a drink. The footage showed the star declare: "It’s nice to be here. It’s my first time singing the Welsh national anthem so wish me luck! And I wanted to say I’m buying a round for everyone!"

Those in the establishment could be heard cheering loudly - while It Ends With Us star Brandon Sklenar was also found to be in the venue as he prepared to celebrate an evening of fun with the famous pair. The Fat Boar official Instagram page shared a snap of the trio of stars, writing a caption stating: "Visit from @vancityreynolds @channingtatum @brandonsklenar at the boat tonight."

In an interview with the Daily Star, owner Rich gushed about the encounter - and revealed there was a logistical issue to ensure the stars had some privacy while they were in the pub. He revealed: “It was Friday night in the lead up to Christmas - so the pub was busy. We got the call that Ryan Reynolds was planning to visit the Fat Boar and from there we had about 20 minutes before he arrived. It was probably best that way so we didn’t have time to overthink things.”

He said: “The first thing we needed to do was decide where they could sit so they could have a meal - luckily there was a bit where they could be without too much interference. Obviously we want to talk to them - everyone wants to talk to them - but from a business perspective we just want them to eat and enjoy themselves. That was probably the hardest part, making sure people kept away just while they finished their meal.”

He also branded Ryan "classy" for buying everyone in the pub a drink, noting: "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." Rich also posed for a couple of snaps alongside Ryan at the venue which have also been shared online.

Ryan and Rob bought Wrexham AFC in November 2020 and have firmly put the team on the international sporting map. Huge A List stars have jetted to Wales to see the team in action - and a Disney docuseries has also been released following the team on during their championship.
