A performer who shines in the light, a player who knows the game, and a trickster who never stole my wallet but always knew where it was. Unafraid to fear, confident enough to be the brunt of the joke, and playful enough to take the dare, Channing calls the youth in all of us out to play. Innocent sometimes, naive never, he’s a nine-lives sleight-of-hand magic trick by design and on purpose. He doesn’t handle his business in the game of Hollywood, he plays his game in the business of Hollywood. He also knows the secret to keeping secrets—forget them the moment you hear them, even with the person who whispered them in your ear. I’d bet my wallet on him right now, but it’s been missing … Since the day I met him. [Channing Tatum](https://time.com/6149142/dog-review/ "undefined"), money well spent. Even when he spends yours. _McConaughey is an Oscar-­winning actor_  Channing Tatum Gareth Cattermole—Getty Images Gareth Cattermole—Getty Images ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"Article","@id":"https://time.com/collections/100-most-influential-people-2022/6177792/channing-tatum/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/collections/100-most-influential-people-2022/6177792/channing-tatum/"},"headline":"Channing Tatum","datePublished":"2022-05-23T10:25:57.000Z","dateModified":"2026-07-21T07:22:08.953Z","description":"","url":"https://time.com/collections/100-most-influential-people-2022/6177792/channing-tatum/","keywords":["TIME 100","franchise","TIME100 2022"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt73b21fdd9eeaa6a2/698a31fb16d8847278c3aa95/Channing-Tatum-time100-2022.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"TIME Staff","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/time-staff/"}],"creator":"TIME Staff","articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt73b21fdd9eeaa6a2/698a31fb16d8847278c3aa95/Channing-Tatum-time100-2022.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/collections/100-most-influential-people-2022/6177792/channing-tatum/","name":"Channing Tatum"}}]}] ```
