Hollywood tough guy Channing Tatum may be playing up his "dumb jock" image in 21 Jump Street, but there’s more to the US actor than biceps.

The G.I. Joe star has worked with acclaimed directors like Lasse Hallström and will star in Steven Soderbergh’s Magic Mike.

Tatum, 32, said: “I didn’t go to acting school, so my knowledge of story, film-making and character comes from just being on set and doing it.”
