Channing Tatum is an encouraging dad as he praises daughter for being an inspiration for Sparkella book
Recently, Channing Tatum revealed the source of his inspiration for the Sparkella book series while wearing his heart on his sleeve.
During one of his interviews with Entertainment Tonight, Tatum provided his opinion on everything.
There, he gave his daughter credit for inspiring him and aiding him with this most recent chapter.
Tatum outlined the reasons why this book is much "different than the first two" in an interview with interviewer Rachel Smith.
The book is titled The One and Only Sparkella and the Big Lie for those who are unfamiliar.
Tatum was reported as saying the following in an effort to clarify: “The first two kind of connected on some level.”
“The first one was about sort of the anxiety of expectations of a new place and then this second one was really about when your expectations are completely failing... and what do you do to try to make the best of it? This one's kind of just a complete departure.”
Tatum also referenced one of his chats with teachers and added, “They're kind of figuring out what that means and it makes them feel and is it OK? What’s the difference between make-believe and then a lie?”
The first book's primary inspiration came from the time his daughter Everly told her "big, yucky-feeling lie."
The lie in question was in regards to the time she “stole a little toy car from school, and she was just sick about it.”
“[One night], she kept calling me back in. I could tell something was a little different with this, but I thought she was just hustling me. And then, all of a sudden, just like full tears.”
“She was like, 'I need to tell you something, but I'm afraid and I'm gonna get kicked out of school and you’re gonna call the police.' And it was just like a whole fear spiral.”
“You could tell she was just living with it for weeks and it was just making her sick.”
“Then once she told me, I obviously had to tell her, I was like, 'Look, you’re not gonna be in trouble as long as you tell me the truth. It's OK, I’m not gonna call the police, you’re gonna be fine.' Then she told me and I could just see the whole weight lift off of her.”
Tatum acknowledged during the conversation that she keeps her daughter "as much in the dark as everyone else" about the new books because "we kind of want that to be, like, a surprise for her."
