Channing Tatum Revealed This Major Celeb Played Matchmaker In His Romance With Zoë Kravitz

“The very first time we met, it was after I read this thing that she sent me called Pussy Island,” he later explained. “I was like, ‘I guess I’m definitely reading this.’”

Tatum has since become a treasured member of his fiancée’s family and was recently praised by her rock star father, Lenny Kravitz, as a “very soulful human being.”

“We both were going out for a movie that I ended up doing called A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints,” Tatum said Wednesday. “Then she was in Jodie Foster’s [2007 movie The Brave One]. That’s the first time I ever saw her, and that was right around the same time.”

Tatum added that his fiancée is “one of the cooler people” he’s ever watched on screen and admitted to “tracking” her career before they started dating.

The Pussy Island script Kravitz sent Tatum eventually became her film Blink Twice, a thriller she cowrote and directed that stars her now-husband-to-be.

The film follows a tech billionaire (Tatum) who invites a young cocktail waitress (Naomi Ackie) on a luxurious vacation to his private island when a sinister truth is revealed.
