When I was stripping, I wasn't with anyone. Isn't she married?ĮLLE: You've said you "love being in love." Were you always the monogamous type?ĬT: Being in a relationship was always the endgame, but I've had my crazy times. She broke up with me through a friend who yelled-out the bus window-"Oh yeah, Danica doesn't want to go out with you anymore." The whole bus burst into laughter.ĮLLE: Who was your first celebrity crush?ĬT: Alyssa Milano in Who's the Boss? She was it, man.
The first girl I ever kissed was named Danica. I'm trying to think of something that didn't work out in my favor.ĬT: No, no. Here, he talks the pleasures of the female form.ĮLLE: Would you share an embarrassing childhood story involving a girl?Ĭhanning Tatum: Hm. The biggest surprise about Tatum, though? He's a sculptor in his spare time. With all that box office heat, one might expect Tatum, 33, to be sowing his wildest oats, but those days are firmly behind him he married his Step Up costar Jenna Dewan in 2009, and they're now expecting their first child. This summer, the Alabama native gets busy saving the president in the thriller White House Down. He romanced Rachel McAdams in The Vow, then became one of Steven Soderbergh's secret weapons in Magic Mike, which was loosely based on Tatum's own experiences as a young stripper in Tampa.
With 21 Jump Street, the onetime model proved he could tell a joke-and be the butt of one, too. Sure, he was highly watchable in 2006's Step Up, but many had written him off as a walking six-pack gifted with the power of speech. That Channing Tatum has become one of Hollywood's most compelling leading men could be considered something of a surprise.
