A recent
New York Times article
examined the Hollywood machine trying to make a leading man out of
Channing Tatum. Tatum, who goes by "Chan" to his friends, is 31-year-old and married to a dancer named Jenna Dewan-Tatum. The article goes on to describe that in his quest for Hollywood A-list status, Tatum has made an astonishing 16 movies in the last 15 years. His breakout role was in the guilty pleasure
Step Up which was made for $12 million dollars but grossed $100 million more than that and spawned 3 increasingly horrendous sequels, none starring our buddy Chan.
Ya gotta admit, he is cute in that movie:
In Summer 2012, Tatum will appear as a male stripper (based loosely on real life events in his life) in
Magic Mike, directed by Oscar-winning directer
Steven Soderbergh as well as a lead role in
G.I. Joe: Retaliation.
I know which of those movies I am gonna want to watch! How about you?
