Tatum appears on the cover of the December 2014 issue of Esquire magazine and Esquire Serbia magazine. He is interviewed at a restaurant about his ADHD and his movie Foxcatcher.

It wasn’t complicated, I learned to appreciate repetition. That’s why I can dance. It’s how I learned to act. I have a high tolerance for repetition. And for the first time in my life, I was busy enough that I didn’t want to stop until I got it right. That never happened in school for me. Not once.

You know, very successful, smart actors. And they were like: ‘Grind it. If you love it, grind it.’ I did. They said: ‘And a lot of people who didn’t grind it, it’s not that they’re not in a good place, but I’m in a better place.’

Right now I’m trying to get in three-a-days of cross-fit, cardio and working specific body parts. I like to be lean. I’m around 195 lbs. right now, and that’s bigger than I’ve been. In Magic Mike I was, like, 175 lbs. When I’m not training, I get really round and soft. My wife likes to smoosh her face into my gut.

When I was a kid, we lived on the bayou in Mississippi. My dad would throw a beer can into the water and have me shoot at it. Once, when I was really little, we had this huge double-barrel shotgun, and when I tried it, it literally blew me off the dock.
