Channing Tatum & Jamie Foxx Cover 'THR'

Channing Tatum and Jamie Foxx get serious on the cover of THR‘s latest issue.

Here’s what the 33-year-old actor and new dad had to share with the mag:

Channing, on choosing this film: “A lot of people call me up, and they want to put a gun in my hand, and it’s such a weird place to be in. America is very, very divided right now. But I felt [this film] was a good way to point out some of the issues in our country [including the polarization of Washington] without being too dramatic or heavy.”

Channing, on working with Jamie: “Being with Jamie is like going to the theater while you are on set. He’ll break out into three or four different characters even while he’s [playing the president]; he’ll just bust out and then be over on the piano playing classical music. He is the purest form of entertainer I’ve ever met in my life.”
