You&#8217;d think the guy could do anything as long as music and acting are involved. Yet, as impossible as it may sound (but a solace for us regular folks with no multitude of great talents), he has a weakness: he can&#8217;t sing!<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">At least, that&#8217;s what he told <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/deadline.com\/video\/channing-tatum-roofman-video-interview\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Deadline;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Deadline<\/a>\u00a0when a\u00a0reporter for the outlet asked him whether he&#8217;d ever consider doing a musical. The actor explained:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"mb-4 border-l-2 pl-5 italic text-tertiary\">\n<div class=\"\">\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;I can&#8217;t sing that well [LAUGHS]. This is the only problem. I will do a danceical until my heart, until my feet fall out. But I just really don&#8217;t believe &#8230; I think everybody is like, &#8216;Yeah, he&#8217;d be great at a musical.&#8217; And then, I don&#8217;t know. I think people would be left wanting a little bit. I don&#8217;t even do karaoke. I mean, maybe if it was the right songs and picked right for my thing. I&#8217;m not totally closed to it, I&#8217;m just very scared of it. I would need to have some time and be like, all right &#8230; because lots of times you say yes to a project before you actually know if you can do it.

Although I wasn&#8217;t the target audience, to say the least, it was blatantly obvious that this handsome devil had a bucketload of charm and charisma. Then I saw Dito Montiel&#8217;s criminally underrated drama, &#8220;A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints,&#8221; in the same year, which was further confirmation that Tatum wasn&#8217;t solely riding on his pretty-boy looks. He had a brooding machismo and an inherent vulnerability that made him naturally magnetic and fascinating to watch. It&#8217;s a quality that&#8217;s started to bear more fruit for the actor over the past 10 years or so, once Hollywood stopped typecasting him as the love interest, eye-candy, and\/or funny guy in generic rom-coms, fighting movies, and similar projects.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Not that he wasn&#8217;t an ideal fit for those lighter genre films (he surely was), but they often didn&#8217;t utilize his talent and range to the max. What they did, however, was get him ready for the meatier, more dramatic roles he began getting in the early 2010s. From &#8220;Side Effects&#8221; to &#8220;Foxcatcher&#8221; to &#8220;Logan Lucky&#8221; to &#8220;Blink Twice,&#8221; <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.slashfilm.com\/1121998\/the-12-best-channing-tatum-movies-ranked\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Tatum was clearly turning into the type of versatile actor who can do almost anything;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Tatum was clearly turning into the type of versatile actor who can do almost anything<\/a> if the material is right.
