Channing Tatum on parenthood
CEBU, Philippines - Channing Tatum gives his all to every project he works on — and the same will be true for fatherhood.
“That [will] be the biggest role of my life,†Tatum said humbly while promoting his latest movie, Side Effects, in Los Angeles on Saturday.
Tatum and wife Jenna Dewan-Tatum, both 32, announced in December that they’re expecting their first child this summer.
The actor says he’s “really, really excited†about becoming a dad and is looking forward to some quality family time once the baby is born.
“I hope to slow down a little bit when the little person comes into the world,†he says.
As for his charmed life of late, PEOPLE’s Sexiest Man Alive attributes it to good fortune — and a lot of work.
“Look, I’ve been lucky,†he says. “I’ve said it before, we work so hard on every single [movie] and you never know which ones are going to work and which ones aren’t … I think it’s just, you’ve got to keep doing stories you love and characters that you love.â€
Side Effects, directed by Steven Soderbergh and also starring Rooney Mara, Catherine Zeta-Jones and Jude Law, opens Feb. 7.
