For months now, the tabloids have been running story after story alleging that 22 Jump Street actor Channing Tatum and his Witches of East End wife, Jenna Dewan, are ready for a divorce. According to the latest gossip news updates, those breakup reports couldn't be more wrong. With all the chaos of his Hollywood career building year after year, the Foxcatcher father says all he needs nowadays is more time with his wife and family, not less. That being said -- the Tinsel Town juggernaut doesn't appear to be planning to take a break any time soon. Even though he just finished filming Magic Mike XXL and his new movie with Mila Kunis, Jupiter Rising, has yet to come out, Channing just signed on to direct the big screen adaption of the Silver Linings Playbook author's Forgive Me, Leonard Peacock, with his writing and production partner, Reid Carolin.
Just the other week, tabloids were reporting that Channing Tatum was flirting with his Magic Mike XXL costar, Amber Heard, so hard that even Jenna Dewan knew about the situation, but Channing recently describes his wife as his rock -- not his warden.
During a recent chat with People, Channing laid any talk of a split to rest when he started to wax poetic about what a stabilizing force his baby mama plays in his life outside of the Hollywood hustle and bustle (via Inquisitr):
"She keeps us all sane. Jenna puts everything in perspective for me, always.
"I'll find myself spinning out or angry or whatever, or even happy, and she always somehow ends up right the ship.
"I just want to have that, more of that, more time with the family."
Apparently, Channing is planning to schedule that elusive family time after he and writing/production partner, Reid Carolin, make their major motion picture directing debut with Forgive Me, Leonard Peacock.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the first film Channing directs isn't going to be some lighthearted sexy romp like his current Magic Mike franchise -- it is going to deal with some pretty heavy subject matter:
"Channing Tatum and Reid Carolin are attached to co-direct and produce an adaptation of Matthew Quick's YA book, Forgive Me, Leonard Peacock, for The Weinstein Co.
"Leonard Peacock centers on a troubled high schooler who plans to kill his best friend and then himself.
"If everything aligns, the in-demand star would play a heroic teacher who intervenes."
So, when did Young Adult become its own subgenre instead of just a snarky way of implying some titles were merely fiction for morons?
