Channing Matthew Tatum is an actor, dancer, and producer from the United States. Tatum made his cinematic debut in Coach Carter, a drama (2005). His breakout part came in the dancing flick Step Up in 2006, which brought him to a broader audience.
Tatum is most known for his major role in Magic Mike (2012) and its sequel, Magic Mike XXL (2015), both of which he produced; he also acted in 21 Jump Street and its 2014 sequel, 22 Jump Street. In the 2009 action film G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra and its 2013 sequel G.I. Joe: Retaliation, he played the role Duke. She’s the Man (2006), The Dilemma (2011), White House Down (2013), Foxcatcher (2014), The Hateful Eight (2015), Hail, Caesar! (2016), and Logan Lucky (2016) are some of his other projects (2017).
Tatum was born in Cullman, Alabama, to airline employee Kay Tatum (née Faust) and construction worker Glenn Tatum. Paige is his sister’s name. His ancestors are primarily English.
When he was six years old, his family relocated to the Pascagoula, Mississippi region. He grew raised in a rural environment near the Pascagoula River, amid the bayous.
Tatum has spoken about his struggles with attention deficit disorder (ADD) and dyslexia as a child, which hampered his academic performance. Tatum participated in football, soccer, track, baseball, and mixed martial arts as a child, and he has stated that “ladies were always the biggest distraction in school.” He used to practice wuzuquan kung fu as a kid.
Tatum spent the most of his adolescence in Tampa, where he attended Gaither High School. His parents encouraged him to put in more effort, so he had the option of attending a private high school or a military academy; he picked Tampa Catholic High School, where he graduated in 1998 and was named most athletic. On a football scholarship, he went to Glenville State College in Glenville, West Virginia, but dropped out. He went back home and began working odd jobs.
According to Us Weekly, Tatum quit his job as a roofer around this time and started working as a dancer at a nearby bar under the name “Chan Crawford.” He told an Australian publication in 2010 that he planned to develop a film about his stripper encounters. The film Magic Mike was based on this concept. Tatum relocated to Miami, where a model talent scout noticed him.
She’s The Man, in which Tatum co-starred with Amanda Bynes and was dubbed “the finest Shakespeare adaptation since ’10 Things I Hate About You’” by Business Insider, was released in 2006. Tatum’s breakout performance came in Step Up, which he co-starred in with his ex wife Jenna Dewan later that year. Despite being critically lambasted, the film has grossed $115 million worldwide.
In 2008, Tatum co-starred in filmmaker Kimberly Peirce’s film Stop-Loss, about troops returning home from the Iraq War, and director Stuart Townsend’s film Battle in Seattle, about the 1999 Seattle protests at the World Trade Organization convention. Rita Wilson directed the short film The Trap, in which Tatum starred.
Tatum and Dito Montiel reunited for Rogue Pictures’ action movie Fighting after working together on A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints. Sean McArthur, played by Tatum, is a young guy who makes a fortune by scalping tickets in New York City. Tatum then starred as Pretty Boy Floyd, a 1930s American mobster, in Michael Mann’s crime thriller Public Enemies, which he wrote, directed, and produced in 2009. In the same year, Tatum played as Duke in G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra, a live-action picture based on the iconic Hasbro action figures released by Paramount Pictures. He was initially hesitant to take the part because he was concerned that the film would glorify conflict; but, after reading the screenplay, he overcame his reservations. In Dear John, a film based on the popular Nicholas Sparks novel, he plays a soldier. He subsequently explained that he took the part in order to learn from director Lasse Hallström, as he had never attended an acting school.
