Once named People Magazine's 'Sexiest Man Alive' in 2012, the actor made a confident return to the spotlight at the premiere of 'Josephine' during the 76th Berlin International Film Festivalon Friday.

He captioned the post, "Just another day. Another challenge. This one is gonna be hard. But whatever. Let's get it in."
Channing Tatum, who rose to fame for his outstanding performance in several films such as Dear John (2010), Magic Mike (2012), 21 Jump Street (2012) and Step Up (2006), confessed that he initially thought it would be 'two little holes' but 'apparently not the case'.
