Existential Question: Is Channing Tatum's Nudity Always Necessary?
2.9.2012
By Mike Berlin
Here at Out, we like to be at the forefront of not just pop culture, but rigorous intellectual debate, by asking tough questions of ourselves and our readers. Today, Us Weekly throws us a curve-ball of an interview with Channing Tatum and his wife [Ed. What was that? Width? Wythe? I'm sorry, I didn't catch that last word!], in which they discuss Tatum's nudity in the upcoming The Vow, about a man whose wife is losing her memory. Or something. I forget!
"I was like, 'There's his butt on the screen,'" says a woman named Jenna Dewan, who is married [I can't hear you!] to Tatum. "But it's completely screen-worthy. It's definitely going to be something people rewind and play."
Well, of course it is.
"That wasn't gratuitous," Tatum chimed in. "That was necessary."
Completely necessary. Vital, even.
What say you, Channing Tatum, about shirtlessness? "It was like, 'Do I really need to have my shirt off to take out the garbage while eating a piece of pizza and picking up a cat?' Shirtless? Was that really necessary?"
HA. Are you kidding? That's a joke, right... right?
Is there any other way for Channing Tatum to eat a slice of pizza and pick up a cat? I'm confused. My worldview is fundamentally shifting. Are there any readers who dare to confront this question head-on?

Totally agree. Channing Tatum isn't quite the best actor in the world. I don't think he would claim to be this. He is eye candy and a cute love feature in movies like Dear John, The Vow. He's gotta take it off! Gay, Straight of Bi...I think we can mostly agree on that.
The only answer to this question is,of course,Yes!When is this world(and Channing)going to learn that my masturbatory needs must always take precedence??!!
It should be required in every movie contract he signs!
He's a beauty like most Alabama boys.
He is a hott grown man. Period.

Well duh, naturally nudity -full nudity would of course be most
advisable for that gorgeous walking sculpture in flesh!
I just know he wants me..
He wants me really baaad!
He's a hott grown man. Get over it.
Hot men should be exposed on teevee and film constantly! It's time the women of entertainment have someone else to share the T & A (or, in channing's case, C & A- Chesct and Ass) duties with.
Confucius say: "He who learns but does not think, is lost. He who thinks but does not learn is in great danger."
"He that would perfect his work must first sharpen his tools."
"Channing Tatum must always appear at least partially naked in film scenes."
So there you have it!
Does it even matter? He's super hot right now. Don't complain until he gains 50 or so then goes shirtless!
There is no question that Channing Tatum must show nudity in every film including The Vow. And, of course, he is the perfect specimen for his semi-autobiographical movie, Magic Mike, in which he plays a male stripper. I here he wears a thong. It is no coincidence that we keep seeing more and more of Channing with each film.
Yes if they want me to fork over my money to see the movie. His naked body should be worshiped, it is a thing of beauty and we need all the beauty we can find to offset all the ugliness in the world today.
Necessary? No.
Appreciated? uh, der.
:cÞ
Yes, Cganning Tatum SHOULD be naked! He once said he and Jamie Bell, a man, had a bromance for years, that they had hot sex together! Way to go, Channing and Jamie!
The answer is existentially, unequivocally, absolutely, positively... YES!
Gratuitous muscle exposure IS necessary. Most waay overweight, close-to-diabetic Americans need to be reminded what a healthy male body looks like.
