Channing Tatum pens an emotional letter to his daughter encouraging her to always be "authentic"
"I don’t want her looking to the outside world for answers."
In honor of the premiere of his new Las Vegas show Magic Mike Live, Channing Tatum wrote a letter for Cosmopolitan in which he relived his first meeting with wife Jenna Dewan Tatum and the hopes he has for their daughter, Everly.
Tatum expressed the number one thing he wants Everly to learn as she grows up, "I don’t want her looking to the outside world for answers. My highest hope for her is just that she has the fearlessness to always be her authentic self, no matter what she thinks men want her to be."
The Magic Mike star also wrote about the qualities he hopes Everly to inherited from her mother. He spoke about the instant spark he felt with Dewan Tatum was very straightforward with what she wanted in life and that, "radical authenticity of hers was what made me fall head over heels in love."
Tatum wants his daughter to follow her mother's attitude of being "expectation-less with her love and not allow preconceived standards to affect her, to ask herself what she wants and feel empowered enough to act on it."
