Zoë Kravitz praises ex Channing Tatum’s charisma in Blink Twice two months after their breakup
The former couple first met when Kravitz cast Tatum in her directorial debut.
Zoë Kravitz continues to praise ex-fiancé Channing Tatum’s Blink Twice performance.
Kravitz, who directed the film, explained to The Batman director Matt Reeves during Variety’s Directors on Directors Dec. 18 issue that when casting Tatum, 44, she wanted “to weaponize his charisma.”
“Channing was the first person I thought of for Slater King, and I don’t know where that came from,” Kravitz, 36, said of Tatum’s tech billionaire character in the psychological thriller.
Despite the former couple calling off their engagement in October, Kravitz, who met Tatum after casting him as the villainous Slater, stands by her decision.
“I knew that the character needed to be somebody who we think we trust, especially because you don’t believe Naomi [Ackie] (who played Frida) is getting on that plane if it’s someone who is immediately insidious,” Kravitz said.
The Big Little Lies actress explained she wanted to “weaponize” Tatum’s charm because audiences have “never seen” him in that type of role.
