Channing Tatum Loved Having Zoë Kravitz Be His Boss
The actor said that working on Blink Twice together is what “cemented” their relationship.
Is everyone excited for Zoë Kravitz’s directorial debut, Blink Twice, to come out later this summer? Personally, I’m grieving the loss of the movie’s original title (RIP, Pussy Island), but at the same time celebrating the fact that the movie brought together one of our most fun celebrity couples: Kravitz and Channing Tatum. On the red carpet for Fly Me to the Moon, Tatum said that working on the film “cemented” the couple’s relationship.
“Working with your partner … I know a lot of people are afraid of it; it was the thing that cemented us, in a way,” Tatum told Extra, explaining that while their romantic relationship began before they started filming, the process of making the movie “brought [them] together.”
“That’s the only piece of dating advice that I’ll ever give anybody is … go and find the hardest possible project that you can find together,” Tatum said. “Build a room, paint a room, make some creative sort of project — not just if you got through it, but if you enjoyed doing it with each other.” This is good advice! If you do not have a movie to make in which your new girlfriend is directing you to play a sinister tech billionaire with a psychotic bent, painting a room should present a similar challenge.
Tatum and Kravitz first sparked dating rumors in 2021, when they were spotted sharing a BMX bike in Manhattan and buying toilet paper for a weekend upstate. Since then, the couple has filmed a movie together, been stranded in the Delta Sky Lounge, and (reportedly) gotten engaged. And to think, none of this wonderful love story can be recounted without saying the phrase “Pussy Island.” I think that’s beautiful.
