Channing Tatum: “I’ll Definitely Do The Diaper Changing”

Dad-to-be Channing Tatum is getting ready for his future baby by readings books and watching documentaries.

“I have never changed a diaper before, so I may need some help learning,” Tatum told at Thursday’s New York premiere of his new movie Side Effects, presented by the Cinema Society and Michael Kors.

“I don’t have friends who have kids, so it’s going to be an interesting experience to learn how to change a diaper. I hope I don’t have any problems where the diaper falls off and the baby [poops] on the ground,” said the Magic Mike star, whose baby with wife Jenna Dewan-Tatum is due this summer.

“But once the baby is born, I’ll definitely do the diaper changing. If it means touching the [poop] and getting peed on, I’ll still do it. I’m up for the challenge.” 

Tatum reminded reporters why woman swoon over him after revealing how attentive he is to his pregnant wife’s needs.

“Oh man, I’m not even getting into what I do to pamper Jenna. I’m doing anything that she asks for,” he said. “She jokes to me all the time by saying, ‘If I feel good, then the baby feels good or if I’m happy, then the baby is happy.’ And I’m like, that is such an urban myth. You’re just saying that to get me to do everything for you.” 

“I know it’s probably true, but I like to joke about it and she hates it. I’ll go to the store to pick up shakes or give her a thousand foot rubs. A foot rub now until the nine months if I have to just to keep her happy and comfortable.”
