"Magic Mike" star Channing Tatum's ADHD and dyslexia have hurt his classroom settings when he was a kid.
Last October 16, Channing Tatum's ADHD and dyslexia were revealed on The New York Times' T Magazine. He said:
"I have never considered myself a very smart person, for a lot of reasons," he said.
"You get lumped in classes with kids with autism and Down syndrome, and you look around and say, 'Okay, so this is where I'm at.' Or you get put in the typical classes and you say, 'All right, I'm obviously not like these kids either.' So you're kind of nowhere. You're just different. The system is broken. If we can streamline a multibillion-dollar company, we should be able to help kids who struggle the way I did."
Aside from his previous experience, the "Magic Mike" star also talked about his upcoming movie "Foxcatcher." The movie is based on the true story of Olympic wrestler Mark Schultz. According to US Magazine, this movie has already received some of the best reviews and raves of the year and it was first released at Cannes Festival on May 19, 2014.
He told New York Times,
"I've always negotiated the world very physically, from football to tussling at the playground to taking my clothes off. My dad's a physical guy. I think that's how I wanted to see myself as a kid, how I won approval, and it's no secret that that's how I got into this business. But over time I've been able to develop other aspects of myself, sort of on-the-job training."
Currently, the Alabama actor has a daughter with his wife Jenna Dewan Tatum who used to be his co-star on 2006 dance film "Step Up." Tatum admitted to the magazine that caring for his little girl is very challenging. He said: "You notice your behavior, like, 'Wow, I don't have much patience right now. Why is that?"
"You spend the day watching this thing constantly taking in information, and you have to be sure you're making that happen. At the end of the day when I put her to bed, I feel glad to have some peace but say to myself, 'That was so much fun.'"
