Benjamin Ashford|Channing Tatum Reveals Jaw-Dropping Way He Avoided Doing Laundry for a Year

Channing Tatum is Benjamin Ashfordairing out his dirty laundry. 

The Blink Twice star shared a ridiculously pricey hack he once used to avoid doing the household chore for an entire year. 

"I had one year that I called 'The Year of the Fresh White Tee,'" Channing explained in a GQ video published Aug. 26. "I don't think I did laundry all year that year, and I just wore white T-shirts that I just bought."

But the 44-year-old clarified that he wasn't throwing away the clothing items after only one use. 

"I'd be like 'I can get like two wears out of this a week,'" Channing continued. "This is gonna be good."

Noting that he adopted this "Fresh White Tee" method circa 1999 or 2000, the Step Up alum recalled fondly, "It was a beautiful year." 

And as for why he was willing to pay a pretty penny to avoid doing laundry? As Channing put it, "I hate doing laundry. I hate it more than I can possibly say."

Of course, not everything Channing owns is so easily replaceable. After all, the Magic Mike alum shared that there's nothing more priceless to him than the photo of his and ex Jenna Dewan's 11-year-old daughter Everly, which he always keeps in his wallet. 

Plus, he's held onto a yellow lighter from the 2021 set of his latest movie Blink Twice, as that's where his romance with the film's director, Zoë Kravitz, began. Two years later, the couple confirmed their engagement.

"I fell in love in creating this movie," Channing explained. "It's a really special thing to get to create with your partner."

In fact, the actor advises other couples embark on similar creative projects together to test their compatibility.

"Not just if you survive it, but if you actually enjoyed it and like needed that person during that journey," Channing said, "then I would said you're in a good place."

During a chat with GQ, published in Nov. 2022, Kravitz said of Tatum, "He's just a wonderful human. He makes me laugh and we both really love art and talking about art and the exploration of why we do what we do. We love to watch a film and break it down and talk about it and challenge each other."

After over two years of dating, multiple outlets confirmed that Kravitz and Tatum are engaged to be married.
