Tatum on cover of upcoming GQ Magazine
From Popeater,
In a recent interview with GQ, the actor (Channin Tatum) brought a writer along for a visit to his Uncle Bruce's ranch in rural Alabama and introduced her to his refreshingly genuine family, his thickening Southern accent, and a four-wheel ride that ends up stuck in a muddy ditch. See highlights below, and read the entire interview in GQ.
Tatum explains the Alabama locale: "You'll see a totally different side of me. I talk different, I walk different, everything. I don't have one single bad memory to where I'm gonna take you. Not one. It was my sanctuary. I hated school, wasn't good in school, and me and my dad butted heads about that. But nothing mattered when I went home to Alabama."
It's clear from the GQ piece that Hollywood hasn't changed him, at least not yet. With his Alabama relatives gathered around, the family discusses formal attire (the interview, of course, taking place just before Tatum's July wedding).
"Wear whatever you want," Tatum tells his family. "Wear jeans if you want."
"It says cocktail attire on the invitation," says his cousin Sheryl, who confides in the reporter, "I just don't want us showin' up like the Clampetts, you know? I mean, my daddy never even seen a homosexual before."
Tatum, in his temporarily heavy Alabama accent, responds, "If Uncle Bruce don't do the stanky leg and the buck dance at my wedding, I’m gonna be pissed off."
