Channing Tatom, newly transferred Wrexham AFC fans and star from Super Bowl, which will end this week, pay football players in Wales to millions of American homes.
“O man, I feel embarrassed,” he says Athlete After asked how you feel In the footsteps of Sir Anthony Hopkins As the last Stoke Cold Pro star with Wrexham, the EFL club owned by Ryan Reynolds and McLhenney.
“I hope this Anthony Hopkins does not see this and goes,” really? This is the one who fills my shoes? “
For those who missed this, Hopkins, the Academy Prize winner, took the initiative in the Super Bowl Declaration last year from Stok, who since 2023 sponsored the Wrexham’s Home Stadium.
In a distinguished exit from specific roles such as Hannibal Lecter in the silence of the lambs or Stevens in the remains of the day, the actor born in Port Talbot like the Dragon, wore the amulet that enjoys young fans in every home game. The 60 -second film shows Hopkins and is separated from the role in the mirror in a storm.
Then Stok again joined Wrexham, Maximum Progh, Reynolds, to create a trial advertisement on Fox SPORTS Big Game and The NFL App when you face Philadelphia Eagles Kansas City City in Super Paul Lakes this Sunday.
Celebration dances are the main topic of this year’s announcement (scroll down to watch it). The Magic Mike Tatum star was brought by the club’s owners as a dance designer to teach players how to celebrate goals by throwing some shapes, which are fueled by the Shepherd’s coffee drink.

To shoot the advertisement, Tatum spent a few days in the north Wales immediately before Christmas and joined Reynolds at Wrexham 2-2 with Cambridge United. “I managed to go and hang out with the players the night before filming,” he says. “I went to the game and then (midfielder) was Elliot’s birthday to me the next night. We were all commented. What a time.
“I was still tense. I knew that I had to deceive myself the next day in front of them. He could have gone one in two ways. They could have been,” who was this stupid American actor, coming here and doing anything? “This is their work. They are working hard for what they are doing. They have an unbelievable season. I didn’t know what you would be. But they were just very sweet.”
The going to Super Bowl advertisement can reach between 7 to 8 million dollars for 30 seconds of the screen on the TV during the same game and companies go abroad when it comes to manifestations with large names. David Beckham, Ben Affleck, Meg Ryan, and even stars such as Kerme The frog will be monitored by an audience of 200 million during the separators between eagles and leaders.
For Wrexham and Callsor Stok, benefiting from the Super Bowl market together is huge. “Super Bowl is literally the jewel of the crown, the largest moment of the year, for our industry,” says Dan Donovan, the Maximum Progh Senior Creative official. “One of those rare moments when the world really watches. Not only the game but advertisement. Since I got to know English football in the past few years, I understand that they have games that dwarf Super Bowl, as much as the viewers.
“But, because of the way the game is played, there are no ads with two halves of 45 minutes. So, it is a completely different experience. If people in the UK are not the opportunity to experience Super Bowl the way the Americans do, you will be surprised because people are interested in ads As they do the game.
Thanks to the success of the Emmy Prize -winning documentary, welcome to Wrexham, Legue One players are not strangers in the spotlight. The duo Paul Molin and the first Palmer hit He had hijab roles in Deadpool & Wolverine in Deadpool & Wolverine last summer, with the permission of co -president Reynolds.
This may explain the reason that photography with Tatum in the wearing of tight home clothing in the historic Wrexham stadium has proven a relatively clear relationship, although the crew was given only a small window ranging from 30 to 45 minutes due to players who need training.
The only star included the main star who is found when explaining some dance moves using a small table that usually bearing the team’s medical supplies and water bottles on the day of the match.
“I faced a confrontation on the table,” Tatom laughs. “I remember getting there (before filming) and showed me the table. I, like,” this is not a schedule – how I am supposed to do anything on this thing? “I certainly fell. I was, like,” Oh my God! “Everyone was everyone He cries with laughter. “
Otherwise, everything went for planning, including the players-and veteran striker Stephen Fletcher (higher in the picture), in particular, when moving to a nose to a nose with Tatom in one scene-with a straight face, even with the passage of Americans on A few of his strange moves
“They were actually unbelievable to maintain the face of the poker,” says Tatom. “Very good, in fact, I had to ask,” O comrades still love me, right? “
Tatom will see his daughter in an Irish dance competition on Sunday, but he hopes to be able to pick up Super Bowl Lix.
“I think its dance, its rival, will be implemented just as the game started,” says 44 -year -old. “Therefore, we hope to go to a place and pick up the game. This is my plan, but who knows how these things go?”
Nothing happens to the height of these plans, Tatum will get the opportunity to see the advertisement live and restore its visit to the north of Wales. “I want to return,” says about Wrexham. “Literally, death to return now I have friends there.”
Tatum is packed in a lot during the long weekend in Wales. On Friday, he joined Reynolds for a meal in a local pub, The Fat Boar, before mixing with fans. He spent Saturday morning a visit to the city center. The first station was “Ryan Reynolds Memorial Park”, which McLhenney presented to Deadpool star. Here, Al-Kindi explained to his colleague A-Lister intention is to turn the area into a societal space.

The stars of the films visited the grass, the bloc adjacent to the Wrexham home, and took a short picnic to the high street to eat a cup of coffee in the Ukrainian Zerno Café, which is located opposite the scenic church of St. Giles, which really caught in Tattom Al Ain. “What I really like is walking, as it goes beyond the church,” he says. “I have a great picture, with the sun, but it was also blurry and rainy. The church is behind. It is a beautiful city, I really want to return and explore it more.”
Although sporting personalities have long been part of the advertising world, it is still unusual to see a British football team-a third-class team in this weekend at Super Bowl. Wrexham may get more international attention that may push jealousy, which has been the maximum creative director of the Donovan effort from several visits throughout the Atlantic Ocean since Hollywood’s acquisition at Wales Club.
“I hope these people who are not lovers of Wrexham can see the positives.” “When English football becomes more popular in the United States, it is good for all teams. We are clearly invested in Wrexham as a company, but I can see how Wrexham and its popularity are not individual. I can see the heat around the league and sports. It really has an era in The United States will eventually be great for English football.
Regardless of the feeling of other fans, the expectation is that the Wrexham fans will be proud. “I cannot imagine a world that anyone in Wrexham could believe that their club, his city, will be offered in this way,” says Britney Bolka, deputy head of ready -made drinks in Danion in North America. Stok brand owner. “I feel very proud to be able to do it with them. I hope they feel that we have done pride.”
On Sunday, Tatom says he is looking forward to the game, although his football loyalties on this side of the pool lie in the college game, specifically, Alabama University. “I have no truly (I have a team from the American Football Association), to be honest,” he says. “I grew up in Tampa and at that time, Buccs (Tampa Bay Buccaneers, owned by the Glazer Glazer Manchester UNITED) was one of the worst teams in the American Football Association. I loved them but I could not really contact them team.
“My father was from New Orleans and called the saints. Therefore, I am a kind of BUCCS/SAINTS fan of the American Football Association. However, more than anything, I am a tide roll, Alabama.”
However, Tatum admits his stadium with his co-angel in Wrexham McLhenney-a fans of the eagles for life after his upbringing in Philadelphia-that he will have more than a passing interest in victory.
He says, “This is huge for a rob.” “Huge. I am very excited about him.”
