Channing Tatum had the good manners to do a shoot for GQ’s August 2009 issue with his man nips exposed. The often shirtless actor shot a fairly extensive photoshoot (below) and gave a long and very.. um.. country interview with an interviewer who sounds lucky they did not end up with their head mounted to the wall.
Tatum married earlier this week (on July 11, 2009), to his former Step Up movie co-star Jenna Dewan (check out full wedding deets at Just Jared).
Being high on life, I was too busy drooling over his photospread to read his entire and rather uneventful interview. From what I skim-read in-between cokey snorts, I gathered that the 29-year-old star of upcoming flick G.I. Joe is rather sweet, rather obvious, rather shirtless and rather slow.
You can see some of the less brain-numbing highlights below:
- How his career got started: “I got crazy lucky. Like, sometimes I think I won the lottery or something. At times it feels like the bottom’s gonna fall out. Just ’cause I don’t really know how I got here. But I just keep moving forward, and it just keeps getting better and better.”
- What Channing is reading: “I got two books on [Kindle]… [one] about the start and finish of the Roman Empire. I don’t have to read this stuff, but I love it.”
- Future home-building plans: Channing points out a spot on his uncle‘s property where he he says “I’m a-gonna build mine right about there. Nothin’ big. Just enough for him and Jenna to come and relax, and for Jenna’s folks to visit. Ride horses, four-wheelers. It’s bigger than the tub at the Soho Grand.” To which Chan’s uncle replies “The who?”
- On hunting: “I have a motto: You don’t kill anything you ain’t gonna eat.”
- Dieting for a role/photo shoot: “I have a special meal plan that I’m on. It’s pretty much just chicken and broccoli and brown rice. Four times a day. And egg whites. Just to get lean. I got a job coming up, too, that I’m starting in August, that I’m starting to train for. It’s called The Eagle of the Ninth. It’s a Kevin Macdonald film. He did The Last King of Scotland.”
- Work ethic: “My mom always said, ‘Luck is nothing but preparation and opportunity.’ I think because I’ve had that history of not really being great in school, I probably try to overcompensate. That’s why I try to read so many books. Just so I don’t feel…uneducated.”
- On ‘G.I. Joe’: “This is, like, my first step out into the whole commercial realm. I hope it does okay.”

somehow, i knew you’d be drooling over this guy’s abs…lol
Don’t judge me Senor. I provide you with Megan Fox posts on the condition that you don’t judge me drooling over oiled man nips.
make it Kelly Clarkson or Scarlett (pre-shrinkage) and we got a deal…lol
He’s hawt, but too obviously waxed/shaved. I never found that attractive…but I can overlook it in cases like this.
He used to be an underwear model, so perhaps he’s in the habit of waxing, but agreed. If or when I jump him, I won’t have time to check out his chest before I’m chased off by the popo anyway.
Ooh. Too bad there’s a long line of lisping mincers you will have to beat down to get to that obviously waxed washboard.
I’m working out as we speak and can fight all of them off, no trouble.
Well, don’t over do it.
Heavy physical workouts create an androgenic spike in females. You could end up looking like Melanie Chisholm (Mel C).
