Channing Tatum: I know I'm not the best actorWhile some may cringe at some of Channing Tatum's career choices - the dance franchise "Step-Up," or the 2010 romance "Dear John" - he tells Details magazine that he took such gigs for a reason, and it wasn't just a paycheck. "You gotta do 'Dear Johns,'" Tatum said, also adding his February love story co-starring Rachel McAdams, "The Vow," to the list of "musts." Tatum will play Leo, the loving, devoted husband to McAdams' Paige, who forgets their happy relationship when she suffers severe memory loss following a car accident. Leo, of course, embarks on a mission to help Paige fall for him all over again. (Yup, it's coming out Valentine's Day weekend.)
Tatum, 31, tells the men's mag that he's "conscious" about why he snapped up those roles. "I wanted to learn from Rachel on 'The Vow.' I wanted to learn from Lasse Hallstrom on 'Dear John' - he did 'The Cider House Rules' and 'What's Eating Gilbert Grape,'" he continues. "I didn't go to acting school, so my knowledge of story, filmmaking, and character comes from just being on set and doing it." And then, a moment of (perhaps bourbon-inspired - he was apparently taking a lot of shots while conducting the interview) honesty: "I know I'm not the best actor. But I hope my characters are getting better." Moviegoers will be able to judge that for themselves pretty fairly this year, considering Tatum appears in no less than five films in the first half of 2012: This month's "Haywire"; February's "The Vow"; the "21 Jump Street" movie with Jonah Hill in March; and this summer's "G.I. Joe: Retaliation" and the actor's stripper comedy, "Magic Mike."

gotta respect the guy .. he's trying to get better and he realizes he's not the best. for that and the humility i'll give a second thought to seeing some of your movies whereas before i wouldn't even debate it. give the guy a break, he's human and he's actually trying to get better with providing you all entertainment.
Channing Tatum is a horrible actor – worse than Steven Seagal. I'm amazed somebody with as little talent can get such big roles..it's actually hard to watch him act. He either has a really good agent or knows the right people.
Is he on OkChica.com?
He's been married for almost 3 years.
I have seen all of his films and for me at 50 years old, he looks great and acts just fine. You have to start somewhere and he's not afraid to put it all out there. There are other actors who get paid the bigger bucks who are a whole lot worse than Channing. I am a fan of Step Up and watched it again the other day. LOVE it! I think he will become one of the most amazing and highest paid actors...it is just a matter of time. Channing keep up the good work! You are coming of age. I will see any movie you make any time!
Hey Jane. I don't care if your fruits are all wrinkled! I will take u on a date and pound dat shriveled up box! I be bending u over my kitchen table and pounding dat pooper!!

Hello, Tatum. You we're so cute when you are a little girl, very good actress. You are # 1. Good Luck and "smile"
Actually the "whites unwanted" poster is a bot, made by a seriously disturbed Slovenian. I think he ate Rachel after stealing her doorknob. The other posts on here are just the usual Marquee fare.
1 guy using several different names posting several different vile, disgusting comments. He's not really gay, he hates gay ppl and wants everyone else to hate them too. He's actually a schizophrenic redneck that post these stomach turning remarks on nearly every CNN story. Btw, he also post the "whites unwanted" comments. He's dangerous and needs to be in a mental care facility.
These vile comments only seem to come from gay ppl. The truth is they come a gay who hates gay ppl, and is schizophrenic.
When my gf fat mama alecia eats out my shrimp smelly pu55y she layer tarta sauce all over it n she goes 2 town. oooo she knows how 2 use her tounge that fat 1
My pu55y still smell like shrimp cuz i don't wash. I'm 2 fat 2 reach under to clean there.
Who cares if he can act, he is great to look at. There are tons of horrible movie stars, he's not any different.
Ummm nasty what,is wrong with you
Oh one more thing I have a.okay.
Whatever I want him,my favorite number is 69.
man some of the coments by these gay guys cracked me up its nice to know men wether gay or straigth will alwas be vulgar haha
Hey Cali Girl you smoke bud?
No wonder gay men get a terrible wrap.....just read the disgusting, animalistic comments posted here. I think George Clooney is the hottest man ever but you don't see me writing filth like sitting on his face etc....
Gross. Hope you don't kiss your mother with that mouth!
I think he is a good actor and boy is he hot!!
Now he knows, and knowing is half the battle
I like his acting, putting all his good looks and good physical features aside, he seems promising. His roles may not be wonderful but he is trying. All the best in 2012 Channing Tatum. Praying for the best for you.
Some of these responses are sick! WTH is wrong with you people. No wonder there is such a moral decline in society today.
We can sit on each others faces,he is beautiful.
Didn't realize this was the gay response room.
Dude is the worst actor EVER!
Damn, I want to suck on his dick so bad.......
He may not think his acting skills are the best but I think he is a gorgeous caucasian male!
Ladies, have some self respect......
Oh like men do, when they are ogling at female entertainers in other articles? Get over yourself.
That's okay because you are FINE as hell.
Lmao! Poor baby, you have no body to troll so are trolling yourself. Lmfao!!
Does he know he's one of the worst?
He's better than Dane Cook, so at least he is THE worst. So he has that going for him, which is nice.
I just pray he will email me at ch_crack@yahoo.com I am free this weekend.
Gross
Mine too. I think he is absolutely delish. A total dreamboat.
Step Up is one of my guilty pleasures. "Skinny's dead!" Don't worry about it, Channing. Even Keanu Reeves was in Kenneth Brannagh's version of Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing.
ch_crack@yahoo.com thinks Channing is a great actor and has dreamy eyes.
