Married to actress Jenna Dewan-Tatum, Channing is an Alabama-bred heartthrob who is also a sculptor who quotes Edgar Allan Poe.

Currently training to play an Olympic athlete in next year’s Foxcatcher, Tatum is all heart and muscle at 195 pounds. He said he always likes to be lean because when he gets too bulky, he can’t move well.

His wife described Tatum as fun and sexy, emotionally deep and spiritually open, and an open-hearted person; what you see is what you get.
