Entertainment- Channing Tatum said he worries about "trying too hard" in his relationship with Zoë Kravitz.
- He admitted to following her fan accounts on Instagram, saying he didn't know people would know.
Actor Channing Tatum said he is worried about "trying too hard" in his relationship with actor Zoë Kravitz — and admitted he followed a number of Instagram fan accounts for her.
"I have no chill," Tatum told Vanity Fair in a profile published on Tuesday. "I was just seeing what she was up to! Also, I didn't know anyone would know."
He told Vanity Fair that his following the fan accounts was "innocent."
"Relationships are hard for me," Tatum added. "Even though I am a bit of a monogamist. In business, I have no real fear of anything being destroyed. But heart things, when it comes to people I love, I have a really hard time. I end up trying too hard, you know?"
The pair met after he first read an early draft of Kravitz's upcoming movie, "Pussy Island," after which, Tatum told Vanity Fair, they lost touch as Kravitz workshopped the script. He told Vanity Fair that they reconnected two-and-a-half years later, adding that she was the "kind of person you want to create with."
Tatum then signed on to help produce the film through his company, Free Association, Vanity Fair reported.
"Weirdly, it was comfortable," Tatum said of the collaboration.
"Pussy Island" follows a cocktail waitress named Frida (Naomie Ackie) and a billionaire tech mogul named Slater King (Tatum), who lives on a mysterious private island.
While the film has yet to be released, Kravitz previously gushed about Tatum and his work in the movie.
"Chan was my first choice, the one I thought of when I wrote this character," Kravitz told Deadline in June 2021. "I just knew from 'Magic Mike' and his live shows, I got the sense he's a true feminist and I wanted to collaborate with someone who was clearly interested in exploring this subject matter."
The pair first sparked dating rumors in the latter half of 2021, and began to speak openly about their relationship in interviews in early 2022.
In a 2022 interview with the Wall Street Journal, Kravitz praised the collaborative nature of her relationship with Tatum while speaking about "Pussy Island."
"I guess what I'll say is when you make things with people it's a very sacred space, and when you're compatible with somebody creatively it often opens up other channels, because you're kind of sharing all of yourself," the "Batman" star said, adding: "I'm really grateful that this movie has brought him into my life that way."
