Wake up, y'all! Channing Tatum is gushing over Zoë Kravitz , and it's unbelievably cute. On Thursday, Channing appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon to promote his new movie Fly Me to the Moon , a NASA-based rom-com with Scarlett Johansson . But Channing's also starring in Blink Twice , which was initially titled Pussy Island , a movie written and directed by his fiancée, Zoë.
The movie also features Noami Ackie, Christian Slater , Simon Rex, Adria Arjona, Haley Joel Osment, Kyle MacLachlan , Geena Davis , and Alia Shawkat. Blink Twice is actually how the cosmically beautiful couple linked up. "She brought me a script, and it was definitely something no one has ever thought of me for, and I really was like, 'Wow, why do you want me for this?'" Channing said on The Tonight Show .
"It was a long journey. She's been writing it for like five, six years now." Channing and Zoë have been together since back in 2021, and became engaged in October 2023.
However, the first meet-cute didn't initially seal the deal. "I think I had one meeting with her and then she went away for, like, a year and a half to like work on the thing," Channing said. "Then my producer came to me and was like, 'Look, this thing is getting really good.
We might actually make this.' And then I read it and it was. It was really, really good.
" But the best part of the interview was when Channing revealed how obsessed he was with working with his fiancée. "I'm so happy, I don't even know how to really put it into words," Channing told Jimmy. "She's so special.
" When Jimmy quipped about cool Zoë actually is, Channing said, "She's actually really annoyingly cool. It's a problem." He's right, and there's receipts to back it up.
Zoë has been involved in multiple major franchises, including Batman, Divergent, Big Little Lies, Fantastic Beasts, and X-Men. (+10 Cool Points) Zoë also equal parts Lisa Bonet, one of the chillest celebrities in the game. (+10 Cool Points) And she's equal part, Lenny Kravitz, who is undeniably one of the sexiest rockstars alive.
(+10 Cool Points) Channing is absolutely right. She's "annoyingly cool"; it's hereditary and a problem — a good problem. In an interview with E! News at the Fly Me To the Moon premiere, Channing said filming Blink Twice actually helped them become closer.
“Our relationship was sort of born inside of the creative process of it in a way,” he said. “It didn't feel any different. That was what brought us together and made us really feel like we're very connected on what we love about life, what we love about just things in general about being alive.
” “It was just easy,” Channing added. “Making movies are hard. One thing I will say is if you think you're in love with somebody and you're thinking about, ‘Do I want to stay with them forever or be with them or have a child with them or get married?’ Go find the hardest possible project that you can physically find.
Go build a house, paint a room, do something.” And that's that!.
