Is there anything Channing Tatum canโ€™t do?

As if filming Kingsman: The Golden Circle and developing Magic Mike Live  werenโ€™t enough, Channing Tatum has officially enrolled in one of Harvard Business Schoolโ€™s executive education courses, alongside LL Cool J, Pau Gasol and Chris Paul. 

The Hollywood heavyweightโ€™s involvement in the course marks the uniโ€™s โ€œfirst ever live caseโ€. Channing co-led a workshop about dance movies and their impact on Hollywood. Lecturer Anitra Elberse said: โ€œParticipants shared ideas to help him [Channing] in the film industryโ€, before captioning a snap of the โ€œfour legendsโ€ with โ€œso yeah, this is happeningโ€. 

LL Cool J also tweeted: โ€œYouโ€™re never too cool to learn!โ€

Tatumโ€™s enrolment comes as somewhat of a surprise, as heโ€™s often described himself as a bad student. โ€œI have never considered myself a very smart person, for a lot of reasons,โ€ he confessed to The New York Times.

โ€œNot having early success on that one path messes with you. You get lumped in classes with kids with autism and Down Syndrome, and you look around and say, โ€˜OK, so this is where Iโ€™m at.โ€™ Or you get put in the typical classes and you say, โ€˜All right, Iโ€™m obviously not like these kids either.โ€™ So youโ€™re kind of nowhere. Youโ€™re just different. The system is broken. If we can streamline a multibillion-dollar company, we should be able to help kids who struggle the way I did.โ€
