Beauty Break: Channing Tatum for "VMan"
Tuesday, February 15, 2022 at 5:00PM by Nathaniel R
Channing Tatum's tradition (superstition?) of shaving his head between movies is one of our favourite celebrity personality quirks. Because, honestly, who looks better with a shaved head than Tatum? After a long drought where it seemed he was only doing cameos (seriously, when's the last time he led a movie? 2017?) has two comedies out this year Dog (opening this Friday!) and The Lost City with Sandra Bullock (opens March 25th, Oscar weekend). The latter looks like a Romancing the Stone rip-off but if you're going to steal, steal from the best.
As an added bonus since he's gearing up to shoot Magic Mike's Last Dance (2023) he's happy to thirst-trap it up again in this drool-worthy photoshoot for VMan magazine which you can buy here if you want to plaster these all over your walls. The photos are by Inez and Vinoodh. Pictures are after the jump...
*whew*

I mean, the other tradition actors have of going all shaggy between roles (in case they need longer hair or facial hair for the next one) makes more sense, but it's become such a tiresome affectation. This is much more...refreshing.
Channing is doing The Lord's Work here.
My fave is the second last - blue shirt and pants pose.
I know that gay roles should go to gay actors, generally, but seeing the picture of Channing in the blue robe, with the cigarette, giving that look makes me want to see him play a sociopathic and bitchy gay aristocrat in a mid-century period piece. Put it into the Highsmith universe and make it a cat and mouse game between him and Ripley. Or just have him play an older Ripley.
I love a comeback.
That third photo--the pose, the glasses, the suit--has been living in my head rent-free since this shoot has come out. Fantastic.
