Channing Tatum is an actor who has put together quite a career with everything from dramatic roles like Foxcatcher to comedies like 21 Jump Street. With recent successes including playing Gambit in Deadpool & Wolverine to his newest film, Roofman, and of course, his most well-known role in Magic Mike, one might think there’s little Tatum can’t do on screen, but he certainly didn’t always feel like he had the same chops other actors did.
Channing Tatum actually spoke out recently, revealing that early in his career, he didn’t have much confidence in his own abilities. This led him to have a conversation with somebody that he thought had an incredible ability to inhabit any role, Benedict Cumberbatch. Tatum told Deadline about the encounter and the "huge gift" his fellow actor gave him.
