Kravitz’sELLEinterview isn’t the first time she has sang Tatum’s praises since their split. Back in December 2024, she explained toThe BatmandirectorMatt ReevesduringVariety’sDirectors on Directorsthat when casting Tatum inBlink Twice, she wanted “to weaponize his charisma.”

“Channing was the first person I thought of for Slater King, and I don’t know where that came from,” Kravitz said of Tatum’s tech-billionaire character in the psychological thriller.

As she toldELLE, “For Chan specifically, it was about how exciting it would be to see him do something so different and so surprising, and something that I knew he was so capable of."
