IN THE PRESS: Check Out Channing Tatum in Empire Magazine’s 2009 Hot List

As I recently posted, Channing Tatum is featured in the May 2009 issue of Empire Magazine (aka “The Hot Issue”).

In what’s been dubbed “The Hot List”, Empire Magazine is letting us know about the people we “can’t afford to miss out on in 2009 and who are set to go stratospheric in the 2010′s – the stars with the talent, the taste and more often then not the sheer gorgeousness to change cinema over the next few years”.

Here’s what Empire had to say about why Channing has the credentials to make both this and next year’s list:

“…like [Marlon] Brando in ‘On the Waterfront’: he seems a little confused and a lot angry. He’s vital if raw in ‘Stop-Loss‘, muscular (and fearless) in ‘Step Up‘, and brilliant in ‘A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints‘. He teams with ‘Saints‘ director Dito Montiel again for underground scrap flick ‘Fighting‘, but will receive wider notice for his Pretty Boy Floyd in ‘Public Enemies‘ and the gun ‘n’ leather fetishism of ‘G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra‘. Lasse Hallstrom’s war-vet romance ‘Dear John‘ will prove he has brains as well as brawn. Expect tears, too.”

You can also check out the scan of the article from the magazine below:

The Hot List includes two of Chan’s co-stars (Marion Cotillard from 2009′s ‘Pubic Enemies‘ and Amanda Seyfried from 2010′s ‘Dear John‘). You’ll find the complete list of the twenty “young, talented, and really happening right now” upstart stars who Empire says will go supernova:
