Channing Tatum Reignites Acting Passion with Acclaimed 'Roofman' Role
8 Oct, 2025
Summary
- Channing Tatum felt "imposter syndrome" throughout his career until his latest film
- Tatum's path to Hollywood stardom was highly unusual, from stripping to modeling
- Tatum's performance in "Roofman" has earned him the best reviews of his career
In the past, Channing Tatum, described as "the first honest-to-God movie star of his generation," has struggled with feelings of "imposter syndrome" throughout his successful career. However, that all changed with his latest film, "Roofman," which premiered at last month's Toronto International Film Festival and is set to be released nationwide this Friday.
Tatum's journey to Hollywood stardom has been highly unconventional, to say the least. His blockbuster "Magic Mike" films were inspired by his own experiences as a young man who turned to stripping. This led to opportunities in dancing, modeling, and eventually acting. Now, in "Roofman," Tatum plays a military veteran who resorts to robbing businesses to provide for his family, only to end up incarcerated and secretly living in a Toys 'R Us store.
