Why can’t Channing Tatum pop like The Rock?

[Formerly Black Trash]

They both do the same thing
But The Rock is in way more stuff

Black excellence

 

[Heelish]

He ain’t The Rock.

 

[Tigron]

If I had to guess......
The Rock being a famous wrestler gave him a much larger following than Tatum before he did any films.

 

[Hagendas]

Only one peoples champ with the millionsssssss and millions of fans

 

[curz]

He’ll always be a bytchass dancer from Step Up to me.

Not believable in masculine roles atall, not charismatic either

 

[jdubnyce]

No way Channing could pull this off, that's why

 

[Poetical Poltergeist]

He's dull as hell. No personality.

 

[Lhark]

The Rock is an icon, Tatum is not.

 

[Formerly Black Trash]

Damn y’all

I like Tatum

 

[You Win Perfect]

Damn y’all

I like Tatum

 

[ShadowBroker]

He's a very bland cac boy. When cacs notice how bland one of their own is, it's a wrap. That's why he had to create his own content (magic mike).

 

[Tetris v2.0]

The Rock is an iconic character

Very few can compete with that character, and the fact we have to remind ourselves to call him Dwayne Johnson is proof of that

 

[Real]

Cuz...hes just like every other cac actor in hollywood

 

[DamienWayne]

Tatum was good in jump street and kingsmen and I still don't give a fukk about him he's so forgettable. I really don't see how's he's gonna pull of gambit with zero charisma

I was shocked when people were praising his performance in that Steve Carell wrestling movie. He peaked with that Magic Mike shyt imo, he will never have a bigger movie where he is the lead than those.

This is the End showed he didn't take himself too seriously and was willing to make fun of himself. That has gone a long way for him, I never thought he would be as big as he is after Step Up
