Entertainment Weekly (December 7, 2012) is pretty spot-on with its choices for the Entertainers of the Year, including Channing Tatum, Jennifer Lawrence and Ben Affleck. See all the rest here.

 

In GQ's December 2012 issue, Channing Tatum is declared to be one of the venerable men's magazine's "Men of the Year."

In his interview, he talks about his crazy work schedule over the past few years:

"Big actors have told me to get it while the getting is good. Grind it. Ahhh, I'm not gonna drop names. You konw, very successful, smart actors. And they were like, 'Grind it. If you love it, grind it.' I did. And a lot of people who didn't grind it, it's not that they're not in a good place, but I'm in a better place."

 

Channing's sexiness documented in this gallery

Channing Tatum is "Sexiest Man Alive!" according to People (November 26, 2012). Maybe not sexiest, but he's definitely a good choice. As for his working out, he tells the mag:

"I'm around 195 lbs. right now, and that's bigger than I've been. In Magic Mike, I was, like, 175 lbs. When I'm not training, I get really round and soft. My wife likes to smoosh her face into my gut."

Great, then she and I won't be competing for a couple of other parts into which I'd like to smoosh my face.

Tatum? I'd date 'im!
