Channing Tatum Cosmogirl Q & A

You've seen him opposite Amanda Bynes in "She's the Man". Read on to find out who this real-life jock is crushing on in Hollywood and what movies you can catch him in next.

How did you react when you first saw Amanda dressed as a boy?

I laughed directly at her. I hadn't seen her since the auditions and hadn't seen her in a while. I could not NOT laugh at her. I felt bad afterward. But I still laughed the second time I saw her.

Who are your real-life crushes?

Marisa Tomei or Elisabeth Shue. Or Salma Hayek. I could go on if you like!

You're a jock in real life, and you have a few more movies coming up. Do you play jocks in those?

No they couldn't be more different. I go from a jock to a homicidal 17 year-old in "A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints". He's one of the first 17 year-old kids to be tried and convicted in New York. True story. "Music High"--I think they're changing the title to "Step Up"--is coming out in the fall. The character's a break dancer and gets arrested for vandalizing a school with his buddies and gets sent to community service and falls in love with a girl who dances.

Are you a good dancer?

I'm an OK dancer.

You shaved your head since the movie--did you do it for a role?

No, after the preiere I was like, 'I can't do this anymore.' I hate hair.
