Channing and Rachel’s Funny “Meet Cute” Moment

We talk romance, fun on set and more with the stars of The Vow.

Turns out that, although they are in a rather serious romantic film with a few light moments, Rachel McAdams and Channing Tatum (he’s everywhere right now) are really hilarious in an interview.

Rachel enters our interview room in cute shorts. I dig down her waistband for the designer. They’re by Roxanda and topped off with a silk, fluffy pink blouse by Valentino. Black heels trimmed with beige finish off her outfit. Picture Chan (as his pals call him) in prim but casual black suit over a grey shirt.

How did these two hit it off at their first real meeting?

Kidzworld: Since you hadn’t worked together before, what surprised you about each other?

• Rachel: I’d always heard lovely things about Channing but it’s one thing to hear that and another to experience it and he went above and beyond all expectations because [to him] I’ve never met anyone like you. I mean that in the very best way. He’s the most open-hearted, generous, open-spirited person I know and he doesn’t do anything halfway either.

Even our meeting was unique.  He came bounding into the room and almost knocked me down. He had three dogs following him. He shook my hand, tried on a dress, threw it down and ran out of the room [we’re all laughing].

• Channing: That’s just what I do when I meet somebody. “I look better in this than you do.  Have you tried on that one?”

• Rachel: He was trying to help me. I was in a fitting. He’s always trying to help.

‘The Vow’ stirs memories for Channing Tatum, Rachel McAdams

LOS ANGELES – It’s not quite Valentine’s Day, but Rachel McAdams and Channing Tatum are getting hot and heavy in a corner booth at the Four Seasons hotel.

McAdams can’t take it any more. “OK, OK!” she says, laughing. “So it doesn’t translate.” McAdams had just finished recapping her friend’s 4-year-old daughter’s first crush. “She was on a safari and she fell in love with her park ranger,” McAdams says. “And she turned to him and said, ‘If I was a puppy and you bought me, I would jump all over you.’ Is that the cutest, sweetest thing you’ve ever heard?”

Tatum obviously disagrees, but “there’s no line on the face of the planet that does actually work,” says the actor, who has been married to actress Jenna Dewan since 2009. “Come up, say ‘Hello, my name is Channing. What’s your name? What are you doing here? You want something to drink? Nice — what is that a necklace? Oh, you like vintage things?’ Have a conversation!”

A tragic love story

The art of wooing is on display in their movie, The Vow, but heart-wrenchingly so. McAdams plays Paige, a Chicago sculptor who loses five years of her memory after she and her musician husband, Leo (Tatum), are in a car crash. When Paige awakens, she reverts to the self she remembers, attending law school and clinging to a successful, straitlaced ex-boyfriend (Scott Speedman). Leo, now a stranger, tries desperately to win her back.

McAdams consulted with a neurosurgeon in preparing to play the confused Paige. “It was interesting finding out that people who have brain trauma, and the tape is erased and they’re not necessarily going to get those memories back, they will still find their way back kind of unconsciously (to) where they left off before the accident,” says McAdams, who also met with the woman who inspired the story.
