Channing Tatum- 'I'm a Fat Kid Inside'
Channing Tatum starred in the hit "Magic Mike," but he doesn't exactly think of himself as attractive as others. In a telling interview, Tatum revealed that he's a "fat kid on the inside" and often changes his weight for roles and simply because of his eating habits.
"I'm a fat kid on the inside," Tatum told Cosmopolitan magazine. "I love food so much and I fluctuate about 25 to 30 pounds between movies. I feel like I have to do a chess movie that requires very little movement at some point, just so I can eat pizza and play chess on the beach all day … and then eat more pizza and cheeseburgers and drink better. That'd be amazing. I'd give anything for that; I gotta figure that movie out."
Tatum, though, was recently named People magazine's "Sexiest Man Alive" and fans believe he has earned the title. In "Magic Mike," he played a veteran exotic dancer who decided to change his life around once meeting the right woman. In real life, Tatum has been married to Jenna Dewan since 2009 and the two are expecting their first child.

"You have to want it," Tatum said of the secret to his successful relationship. "Jenna's and my thing is checking in with each other all the time, like 'On a scale from 1 to 10, how much do you love me right now?' And you gotta be honest, and you've got to want an honest answer."
Tatum's next film, "White House Down" premieres next month and allows him to play the role of a policeman given the opportunity to protect Jamie Foxx. It will be the return to an action genre that helped make him famous. Yet Tatum wouldn't mind being compared to a certain Oscar-winning actress.
"I wouldn't mind being the male Jennifer Lawrence. I think she's incredibly cool," Tatum admitted.
