Magic Mike star Channing Tatum was crowned as People's 2012 "Sexiest man Alive." The 32-year-old actor now joins the list of elite men that includes last year's winner Bradley Cooper, Ryan Reynolds, and two-time winners Brad Pitt and George Clooney.
When he first learned that he was hailed as this year's Sexiest Man Alive, Channing Tatum could not believe the news and had to double-check about it.
"My first thought was, 'Y'all are messing with me,'" he told People magazine, adding that he then told his wife, actress Jenna Dewan Tatum, 31, who didn't quite believe it either. "She was like, 'What?'," Tatum added.
Channing Tatum said that his wife Jenna now calls him the 'Sexiest Man Alive,' either specifying that no one can blame her. Jenna, after getting past the initial shock couldn't agree more.
"People know him to be fun and sexy, but they don't know how emotionally deep and spiritually open he is," says Jenna. "He is such an open-hearted person; what you see is what you get."
Channing Tatum and actress Jenna Dewan-Tatum tied the knot in 2009. The actor told the magazine that they were both ready to have a child. Currently, Tatum is training to play an Olympic wrestler in next year's film, Foxcatcher.
