Sexy hunk of meat,
Channing Tatum, is often made even sexier by the fact
that he is a happily married action star. In fact, that's probably most of what makes him sexy. Channing sat down with
Parade Magazine as they chatted about his work out schedule, his marriage, and his newest movie,
G.I. Joe: Rise Of Cobra.
According to Channing, one of the best parts of the movie was getting to play a solider, but with real guns. "It's the ultimate make-believe. I was a kid again, only this time I was running around with real guns instead of the sticks I used to pretend with in my backyard. It was like getting to live out every single fantasy that I ever had growing up. I always loved
Bruce Willis because he was a real hero not this bionic man, just a regular guy who could kick butt. I also love
Stallone and
Schwarzenegger. Those were the guys I grew up on."
Listen up gentlemen! Channing has the secret to looking amazing with his shirt off, so I want all of you to listen and do exactly as he says! "The best thing about my career is I get to be really on and really off. I'm at home drinking beer and eating cheeseburgers and chocolate cake, but then they cast me in a role like Duke in
G.I. Joe and I'm on, " says Channing. "I get really serious and it's all the way to the wall and that's great because I have all day to work out. People that do 9-to-5s don't. I wake up and I run for an hour and then go and do my training." So basically you need to train a lot. Do it! It's so worth it!
He also talked about his love of dong his own stunts, and how a lot of the stuff that looks CG in the film isn't. I love explosions. I bet real soldiers don't like explosions. "It hasn't made me feel like I experienced actual combat. I know what these guys go through in Iraq and Afghanistan, and it's not even close. It's not even in the ballpark at all. What I admire about the real soldiers I've talked to is that they're just doing their job. They check their politics at the door."
He also talked about his meeting with wife
Jenna Dewan and how that
Step Up love came about. "Jenna Dewan [whom he wed in Malibu last month] and I had weeks of sweaty dance rehearsals together in Step Up. When you're draped all over each other, it's easy to create chemistry. I kept thinking, 'She's not bad-looking, so it's not that hard to be really into her." Oh I'm just positive that she wants to hear she's not bad looking.
Channing claims to suck at dancing, but I
did enjoy his Dirty Dancing parody. There was no dancing of course, but his hair is fabulous. He is looking hotter and hotter these days. Look
at these premiere photos! Love it!
