Former stripper and Hollywood actor Channing Tatum has arrived in Iceland and emotions are running high.
Naturally, Icelanders have dropped everything. His every move has been documented via social media. He’s featured in stories on all Icelandic news sites. There hasn’t been an event this big since John Snow was seen drinking in Kaffibarinn.
To keep you updated, we scoured the web to provide a minute by minute account of Channing’s historic first 24 hours.

Tatum boards Delta flight from New York City. What terminal? Did he watch a movie onboard? Sleep?

Channing Tatum var að lenda í Kef #skúbbið pic.twitter.com/dpCoz5Lt8C — Marteinn Urbancic (@MrUrbancic) May 11, 2015
(Channing Tatum just landed in Kef [Keflavik])
Tatum’s plane arrives and he walks in the airport wearing sunglasses inside.
…Mynd segir meira en þúsund orð! Þessi efnilegur maður, Channing Tatum, betra þekktur sem Magic Mike kom til mín í dag… Posted by Zvezdan Dragojlovic on Monday, May 11, 2015
(…A picture says more than a thousand words. This promising young man, Channing Tatum, better known as Magic Mike came to me today at the airport and asked — aren’t you the dancing cop? Better known as Magic Zeko?!? Yes, I replied immediately. Can I take a selfie with you he asked?? ….Couldn’t say not to the dude !!!)
Passport control officer Zvezdan Dragojlovic documents this historic entrance into Iceland. We sleuths at the Grapevine assume that Dragojlovic posted this update hours after the actual event. His description of the event has probably been dramatized.

Hitti Channing Tatum, hann er með ljóta klippingu en samt mjög kúl — Kolbrún Birna (@kolla_swag666) May 11, 2015
(Met Channing Tatum, he has an ugly haircut but still cool.)
Tatum’s haircut does not impress one fan. Location unknown.

Fekk tilkynningu f vinkonu um að Channing Tatum væri a næsta borði við hana. Það situr enginn a næsta borði við mig. pic.twitter.com/zkFV4p4sPb — Hrafnhildur Edda (@HrafnhildurEdda) May 11, 2015
(Got a notification from my friend that Channing Tatum was at the next table but there’s no one sitting next to me.)
Tatum is spotted at Grillmarket. Due to the location of the girl photographed, we are unable to tell just how far along he is with his meal.
1:14 PM:
Allar afmælisgjafir afþakkaðar, allar óskir mínar urðu að veruleika í dag 🙂 #channingtatum Posted by Karítas Sveina Guðjónsdóttir on Monday, May 11, 2015
(You don’t have to give me any birthday presents or wishes ‘cause all my dreams came true today #channingtatum)
Still at Grillmarket, literally stuck in a stalker sandwich. Once again, this photo leaves us with important questions —what is Tatum eating? Who is he with?
2:32 PM:
Við Channing Tatum erum bara að tjilla í Pósthússtrætinu. pic.twitter.com/aAmAdtm4Z4 — Brynja Helgadóttir (@brynjahelgad) May 11, 2015
(Me and Channing Tatum are just chilling at Pósthússtræti.)
Tatum has moved from Grillmarket to Pósthússtræti.
2:34 PM:
@brynjahelgad hann var í flíspeysu og í buxum sem complimentuðu rassinn vel — Brynja Helgadóttir (@brynjahelgad) May 11, 2015
(He’s wearing a fleece sweater and pants that really compliment his butt.)
Sometime in these last two minutes, Tatum turned around.
3:36 PM:
Er of oft ruglað saman við Channing Tatum. Geri ekki ráð fyrir að það batni í dag.
— Dagbjartur Gunnar (@dagbjartur) May 11, 2015
(I get confused a lot with Channing Tatum. Don’t suppose that will get better today.)
If today has been rough on Channing, it must have been twice as bad for Gunnar. Stay strong buddy.
4:08 PM:
Vona svo innilega að Channing Tatum sé á tinder svo ég geti matchað við hann — Harpa Rut (@harpars30) May 11, 2015
(I really hope Channing Tatum is on tinder so we can match)
Don’t we all. Tatum has elicited some naughty thoughts.
4:18 PM:
Channing Tatum og Adamn Rodriguez eru að labba Laugaveginn rite nao! — Júlía Hrefna Bjarna (@JuliaBjarna) May 11, 2015
(Channing Tatum and Adam Rodriguez are walking Laugaveger rite nao!)
Now at Laugavegur with fellow “Magic Mike” star, Adam Rodriguez. But that’s a big street, where is he? This tweet is not helpful.
4:42 PM:
“You’re the first fan I meet in Iceland”- channing tatum #iloveyouchanning @channingtatum pic.twitter.com/3xyGhNgQ5M
— Aldis Björk (@AldisBjrk) May 11, 2015
Well someone’s obviously lying here. We have proof he’s already met lots of fans. Or does he say that to all the cute girls?
6:17 PM:
@channingtatum Hope your gonna take some pic in ICELAND ,, My girl got a selfie with you:) pic.twitter.com/kcRpQAaNQd — Halldora Eyfjord (@dualilla) May 11, 2015
Tatum stops for a selfie, still wearing that stylish beanie and fleece jacket.
7:03 PM:
Hello @channingtatum ,I live in Iceland and if you want to go to a hot tub and sauna you can come and visit me in Hafnafjördur pm for info — Elva Hrafnsdóttir (@elvahrafns) May 11, 2015
Tatum receives an invitation —will he accept?
9:38 PM:
Fíla hvorki Nutella né Channing Tatum. Sendið mig bara í útlegð eða eitthvað. — Hulda Hólmkelsdóttir (@huldaholm) May 11, 2015
(I don’t like Nutella or Channing Tatum. Send me to exile.)
His presence is causing chaos all over the country.
9:58 PM:
Channing Tatum er á Snaps. @KaraHergils upp með njósnakerfið í gula húsinu!!! Er að hlaupa yfir
— Berglind Festival (@ergblind) May 11, 2015
(Channing Tatum is at Snaps. I have to start spying at the yellow house!!!)
Þegar ég sá Channing tatum labba inn á Snaps: en þegar ADAM RODRIGUEZ ÚR CSI MIAMI KOM INN Á EFTIR HONUM?!?: ☺️
— Una Hildardóttir (@unaballuna) May 12, 2015
(When I saw Channing tatum walk into Snaps: but then when ADAM RODRIGUEZ FROM CSI MIAMI CAME IN AFTER HIM?!?: ☺️)
Snapps for a drink. What drink? Beer? Wine? These posts leave us in the dark.
10:58 PM:
Ok Channing Tatum var að labba inná Prikið með kampavínsflösku.. — Emmsjé (@emmsjegauti) May 11, 2015
(Ok Channing Tatum just walked into Prikið with champagne…)
Emmsjé Gauti kindly alerts us all that Tatum has walked into Prikið holding bottles of champagne. Is Prikið BYOB? I don’t think so. Tatum is apparently a rule-breaker.
According to important sources, it was only minutes before the whole place was swarmed with fans. Gauti then responded:
Fjölmiðlar ættu nú að taka smá bakgrunnstjékk áður en þeir éta upp skítinn. Lol — Emmsjé (@emmsjegauti) May 11, 2015
(The media should do a little background research before they eat the shit. Lol)
A red herring. Gauti tricked us, perhaps in an effort to gain media attention. Well if that was the intention, bravo, you’ve done very well. Non-ironic congratulations.
Rumors state that later, Tatum and his crew did try and enter Prikið but could not because the whole place was filled with fans looking for him. No social media reports of this occurrence exist, so the Grapevine is doubtful.
While we at the Grapevine always appreciate a little joke, Tatum’s location is currently unknown. Please email us if you have any information.
@channingtatum hello mr Tatum im a girl from iceland and i would love to meet you in reality as you are in iceland at the moment will u met
