The model-turned-actor has upped his game since Step Up to work with Touching The Void director Kevin Macdonald. But is Hollywood ready for his dream project as an addict?
Film legend Joan Crawford once remarked that "Hollywood is like life, you face it with the sum total of your equipment." A very quick Google search for actor Channing Tatum (and countless have before me), reveals his Hollywood equipment to be an aesthetically pleasing arsenal of pouting, topless shots; a thin, white shirt flapping in a mysteriously ever-present breeze, revealing a six-pack that rivals Brad Pitt in his Thelma & Louise physical heyday. A model for Abercrombie & Fitch in his pre-movie star days, it's easy to see why the world would want to pin him down like a big-armed butterfly, to insist his sole life equipment remain that of a male Megan Fox.

At France’s Cannes Film Festival a couple of weeks ago, London-based Berkeley Square Films announced that Channing Tatum will star in Richie Farrell’s inspirational detox drama ‘What’s Left of Us‘, a hard-hitting chronicle of seven excruciating days in detox for a heroin addict.

For those who are keeping score…this year Channing Tatum has already promoted and released the romantic drama ‘Dear John‘, wrapped on two new films (Steven Soderbergh’s action-revenge spy thriller ‘Knockout‘ and Dito Montiel’s crime thriller ‘Son of No One‘ with Al Pacino, Ray Liotta, and Katie Holmes), shot reshoots for Kevin MacDonald’s Roman drama ‘Eagle of the Ninth‘, executive produced and premiered the political documentary ‘Earth Made of Glass‘ at the Tribeca Film Festival and is prepping to take a long-awaited comedic turn in Ron Howard and Vince Vaughn’s ‘Cheaters‘, which he films next month. Not too bad, considering we’ve barely made it through the month of May.
