The role of Gambit is so sacred to Channing Tatum that he recently said in a video interview with Vanity Fair that he was too scared to ask if he could pack up his Gambit costume and take it home after filming. The actor always takes home a costume from the current movie, but not Gambit.
I was too scared to ask. I usually steal the costume in every movie I'm in, but this time I was too scared to do it.
Channing Tatum said diverseto.
Ryan Reynolds' Deadpool also joked about Gambit's accent, once asking, “Where does the voice come from? From a minion?” According to Channing Tatum, the criticism is unfair because he did it on purpose.
I improvised a little bit and the way I speak is unique. I grew up in Mississippi and my dad is from New Orleans. So there are certain things, like this slightly incomprehensible voiceover, that was both a goal and a joke.
Channing Tatum pointed out.
After Deadpool and Wolverine broke box office records in their opening weekends, Tatum later took to social media to express his gratitude for finally getting the chance to portray Gambit in an emotional post.
I thought I lost the maneuver forever. But Ryan Reynolds fought for me and for karate. I'll probably be forever indebted to you for that. Because I'm not sure I'll ever be able to do something as important as what he means to me. I love you man… I'm so grateful to be a part of this movie. It's a masterpiece in my opinion.
He said.
