Ever want to go on a drunk adventure with the biggest hunk in Hollywood? That’s exactly what the writerof the GQ article about Channing Tatum did in a small town in the California desert.
Here are some excerpts of the interview:
How Tatum starts a day in the life of this profile, speaking to the journalist
“I’m having a beer. You should have one, too. It’ll make us both feel better.”
About that stint as a male stripper in a G-string
“I had wanted to tell people. I’m not ashamed of it. I don’t regret one thing. I’m not a person who hides s**t.”
Tatum and his buddy’s mentality about the whole thing?
“OK, we’re just going to do this for a little while just to be crazy and insane; then we’re getting out.”
What his one-time co-star Marlon Wayans says:
“If adrenaline were a drug, Channing would be the Charlie Sheen of adrenaline.”
Where does that craziness come from?
“I think people pay money to see the actor go through a wall. I want to be like, ‘Holy s**t, Johnny Depp actually jumped off that building. That guy’s f**king crazy. I want to be him.'”
On his potential future as an “it” actor
“No one’s calling me for lawyer roles. I still have a lot to do to prove myself.”
Channing on ambition
“There are so many things I want to do. Like, I want to get an artist, a musician, a photographer and a bunch of dancers that I know, and just travel across Africa and just film it and just see what happens. Do and learn as much as I possibly can. Lucky, I have a lot more time.”
Channing had a great time with the interview
“I can’t wait until you have the next interview with someone in this industry. If anyone tops this, you have to call me and be like, ‘You just got topped.’ And I’ll be like, ‘What! No! Where are you? I am flying to wherever you are. You have to call me. Promise.'”
