For a man known for his ripped abs and arms the size of tree limbs, Channing Tatum's favorite foods are far from kale salads and quinoa. In his recent Reddit AMA, the Magic Mike XXL star confirmed our beliefs that he's a guy we'd love to grab a pizza with. We'll pass on the sandwich, though.
What's in his all-time favorite sandwich:
"Bread, white. Peanut butter—not crunchy, creamy. Grape jelly—double portion, more than you think should actually fit on a piece of white bread. Bread. And then some Cheetos shoved in there, and then you're good to go."
What he'd bring to a deserted island:
"How about a magical seashell that's always filled with bourbon. And I would like a magical palm tree that had a lot of shade with instead of coconuts there's just peanut butter jelly sandwiches with Cheetos underneath. And my wife that is always happy and possibly naked."
If you were a hot dog, and you were starving, would you eat yourself?
"That's like a psychological profiling question. Yeah, why not. I like to eat. Let's just be real about it."
His ideal pizza:
"I'm kinda boring. I just like peps. Pepperoni and cheese. I'm not a very adventurous eater. I like what I like and stick to it."
If he could choose any kind of ice cream, it'd be...
"It's kind of boring. Cookie Dough. But then you can put cookie dough on just about anything and I would eat it."
When a fan asked if he really did meet Tatum at an airport Chili's—and determine whether to serve him a beer because he didn't have an ID—a while ago:
"That absolutely was me. Because I love Chili's. And no one believed me that I got into an airport without my ID. I just wanted a beer and some chicken crisps, and I actually couldn't get either of them for a while, because I remember you guys didn't have chicken crisps either! What's a Chili's without chicken crisps?"
All of this sounds way more exciting, though, than the sad lunches he endured to be thong-ready for Magic Mike XXL. During an interview with Esquire, he ate half of a plain chicken breast—declining a server's offer to bring barbecue sauce to spice up the meal—with water. Sacrifices must be made to look like this, apparently:
