When not being freaked out by the amount of negative reviews on his acting, Channing Tatum is busy being terrified on the looming aspect of fatherhood.

During a recent interview to promote his new film, Side Effects, Tatum was asked what part of fatherhood scares him the most:

“I think everything and above. I mean, I don’t think there’s one thing that doesn’t terrify you, but in the most unbelievably beautiful way.”

Tatum continues:

“Someone said it’s really like watching your heart jump out of your body and run away, and I think that can possibly be the coolest thing that I’ve heard of.”

Tatum was also asked about how his pregnant wife, Jenna Dewan-Tatum, is doing:

“She’s a complete animal right now! You can ask her, but in the most beautiful like humanistic animal-y way. She works out all the time, eats right, impeccably right. She’s just a machine.”

So, according to Tatum, everything is beautiful. Plus, he called his wife an “animal” and a “machine” but he did it in a way where he won’t get chewed out by his wife later.

Kudos.
