At the Toronto International Film Festival, actor Channing Tatum and co-star Gemma Chan discussed the film ‘Josephine’, which explores the struggles of a married couple after their daughter witnesses a crime. 

Chan noted that Tatum’s performance in the film displays a new level of emotional depth, which she attributed to his real-life experiences as a father. Tatum shared that fatherhood has taught him the importance of being human and allowing his daughter to see his vulnerabilities, rather than attempting to be a ‘Superman’ figure.
