Channing Tatum Talks About His Deadpool & Wolverine Cameo & Being Directed by Fiancée Zoë Kravitz

Actor Channing Tatum sat down with Jimmy Fallon to talk about being directed by his fiancée Zoë Kravitz for Blink Twice, working with Ryan Reynolds for his surprise Deadpool & Wolverine cameo and the not-safe-for-work original title of Blink Twice.

Before hitting it big in Hollywood, Channing Tatum worked as a stripper in Tampa, Florida. His experiences in that job inspired the movie *Magic Mike*. Tatum was an athlete in high school, playing football, soccer, track, and even practicing martial arts. He initially attended college on a football scholarship but eventually dropped out.

Tatum began his career as a model, working with big brands like Abercrombie & Fitch, Armani, and Dolce & Gabbana before transitioning into acting. One of Tatum’s first major film roles was in *Coach Carter* (2005), where he played a high school basketball player. His breakout role, however, came in *Step Up* (2006), where he met his future wife, Jenna Dewan.

Channing Tatum is known for his love of nature and the outdoors. He has a ranch in Ojai, California, where he enjoys spending time with his animals and practicing various outdoor activities. In 2021, Tatum published a children’s book titled *The One and Only Sparkella*, inspired by his daughter Everly.

Tatum co-founded a production company called 33andOut Productions. The company produced the *Magic Mike* films and the documentary *Earth Made of Glass*. For his role in *Foxcatcher* (2014), Tatum trained extensively in wrestling and even cracked a tooth during a particularly intense scene but kept filming.

Tatum and Jonah Hill became close friends after working together on *21 Jump Street* (2012). They have a great off-screen friendship and often joke about their “bromance.”Despite his tough-guy image, Tatum has a soft spot for Disney. He’s mentioned that he enjoys watching Disney movies, especially with his daughter.
