Channing Tatum credits attractive parents for his good looks

Washington, Feb 18 (ANI): Channing Tatum has revealed that he thinks his good looks are down to the "genetic lottery" of having attractive parents.

The 'Step Up' star, who worked as a model and a stripper before embarking on a movie career, insists that he doesn't make career decisions to try and detract away from his looks and be taken seriously as an actor, but actually sees what makes a good story.

"I won a genetic lottery, my parents are very good-looking people and so... But no, don't make decisions on how people see you, just do f***ing good stories and characters," Contactmusic quoted him as telling Total Film magazine.

"Don't do them because you think they're smart or because they counteract some other things you've played. If I tried to do something for my career and it didn't work out, that would feel more empty and more like I made a mistake," he added. (ANI)
