‘It Wasn’t Even That Funny At The Table Read’: Channing Tatum Tells Us The Punchline That He Can’t Believe Has Turned Into A Meme

Channing Tatum is having one hell of a year! Not only did he deliver to audiences a wild X-Men cameo when he appeared as Gambit in Deadpool & Wolverine, but he’ll also be starring in the highly anticipated film Blink Twice, which is directed by his partner and fiance Zo? Kravitz. The former project spawned a number of memes showcasing the actor’s hilariously over-the-top Cajun accent, and while he didn’t foresee the internet reacting the way it did, there’s another viral moment from his career that he finds even more shocking. I caught up with the actor to discuss Blink Twice, and when I asked if he knew just how meme-able his now infamous Gambit line, “Woo I’m about to make a name for myself here,” would be, he responded.
