Channing Tatum bought new t-shirts for an entire year just to avoid doing laundry
Channing Tatum has admitted he once bought new t-shirts for an entire year just to avoid doing laundry.
Speaking in a new interview with GQ, the actor revealed that he despises washing his clothes.
“I hate doing laundry. Like, I hate it more than I can possibly say,” Tatum explained. “I had one year that I called ‘the year of the fresh white T,’ and I don’t think I did laundry all year that year and I just wore white T-shirts that I just bought.
“I’d [look at a shirt and] be like, ‘I can get like two wears out of this a week. This is gonna be good.’ The year of the fresh white T — ’99 or 2000. It’s a beautiful year.”
The actor is currently starring in Zoë Kravitz’s new film Blink Twice which arrived in cinemas last Friday (August 23).
Tatum recently said he went to dark places to play the “psychopathic” character Slater King, a billionaire tech mogul.
He added: “It’s the first time I’ve ever played anyone [like this]…Every character I play, I usually have some sort of love for or a connection to.”
With King, he said that wasn’t the case. “I don’t think I’ll ever tell anybody what I had to create inside my head to play this person,” he continued. “He’s a psychopath.”
In a four-star review of the film, NME wrote: “Hitting boiling point at just the right moment, it’s also sharply written, with whip-smart dialogue (“that’s going to open up beautifully” is one line that gets repeated with a superb pay-off) throughout. And as you might expect given her father Lenny’s musical acumen, Kravitz gives all the action a brilliant soundtrack with the music of James Brown and especially Chaka Khan’s ‘Ain’t Nobody’ used perfectly.”
The producers of the new psychological thriller also issued a trigger warning ahead of the film’s cinema release.
