Channing Tatum reveals surprise talent as fans call him ‘gifted’

Channing Tatum has revealed a surprising talent with his 16.9 million Instagram followers on Wednesday.

The actor, 43, showed off his art work as he shared a black and white self portray of himself complete with a large red nose. 

He admitted he was ‘scared’ to reveal his secret skill with fans but after staring at it for ‘long enough’ he decided to upload to his social media. 

The 21 Jump Street star wrote: ‘Ok. I’ve never done my face. And.. f*** that lol. It’s weird and confusing. It’s fine and I like it I guess.

‘I stopped before fixing so much stuff like the mouth and eyes. I was like nah dog I’ve been looking at this long enough now. Ok goodbye. 

‘And sorry. Yes I edited this text. I typed so fast before cause I was scared and just needing to be done and hitting post. Ha. Sorry.’

Channing was quick to gain praise from fans including Magic Mike co-star Salma Hayek, 57, who gushed the art was ‘perfect’ because of the ‘imperfections’. 

She said: ‘I love it. Don’t do anything else to it. It’s perfect because of the imperfections.’ 

Meanwhile fans told the actor he had accurately painted the portray and that he had a ‘gift’.

One wrote: ‘You truly have a gift. I knew it was you before looking at who posted it. I think it’s great just like you so please don’t change anything’. 

A second said: ‘Looks pretty spot on. Keep painting!!’

A third agreed: ‘I could tell it was a painting of you before I seen who posted it…so that must count for something!’

The art work seemed to be inspired by a picture of Channing from Halloween last year, where he donned black eye makeup and a large red nose. 

Last year Channing got engaged to Batman actress Zoe Kravitz. 

And during a romantic date night in November, the couple were spotted walking hand-in-hand, with Zoe flashing her $500K diamond rock in the process.

The longtime actor reportedly feels ‘excited’ about his and the High Fidelity actress’ bright future.

A source told People earlier this month that it took Channing ‘a while to feel happy and to find a new life’ after finalizing his divorce from Jenna Dewan in 2019.

The person added, ‘He can’t stop smiling around [Kravitz]. They are very cute together.’

It comes a little more than two years after the two were first spotted together on a bike in New York City.

Channing and Zoe initially crossed paths when they each voiced roles in The Lego Batman Movie in 2017.

Channing was married to his Step Up co-star, Jenna, at the time and they welcomed daughter Everly, 10, before they divorced after ten years.

Zoe was in a relationship with actor Karl Glusman, who she married in 2019 before splitting 18 months later.

Zoe later cast Channing in her directorial debut P***y Island, which has not been released yet.
