The club has been of considerable interest since Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney bought it in 2021, which has also boosted its performance in the football league and inspired the Disney+ series Welcome To Wrexham. It’s often had celebrities come to watch its games, with the likes of Paul Rudd, Will Ferrell and Hugh Jackman all paying visits to the Racecourse Ground recently.

Tatum and Armstrong saw the team finish in a last-minute 2-2 draw with Cambridge United.

It has also been reported that Reynolds and Tatum visited local pub The Fat Boar last night (December 13), buying local patrons a drink and posing for photos.

Great to see you, @VancityReynolds and @channingtatum

Armstrong has previously professed his love of lower-league football and made a habit of going to watch games when Green Day were in the UK making their latest album ‘Saviors’.

“I went to a lot of football games: Arsenal, Leyton Orient, Fulham. I went to The Den to see Millwall. That was amazing. Man, if you really want to experience British culture that’s what you should do,” he said last year.

He continued: “Football is like a fucking religion. It’s like being at a big rock concert. You practically need earplugs! I’ve always wanted to check out all the different divisions, not just the world-class teams like Arsenal and Man City. I wanted to go to some of the lower-league games – especially Millwall, which has that gritty, pissed off, underdog, “no one likes us and we don’t care” vibe. It reminds me of being an Oakland Raiders fan.”

In other news, last month Green Day‘s performance of ‘American Idiot’ on a 2004 episode of …Letterman was re-uploaded to YouTube following Donald Trump’s victory in the US presidential election.
