Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Channing Tatum, actor, excitable emailer and predictable YouTuber, took part in an AMA on Reddit last night, confessing his love for the broom in Fantasia.

His answer as to which is his favourite Disney character wasn't the most interesting exchange, but I just couldn't resist that headline.

What probably is of more interest to cinephiles is that he had the same reaction to the Wachowskis' Jupiter Ascending as the rest of us.

"Jupiter Ascending? What was that?" one user asked him.

"Great question. I have the same one to myself." He replied, getting thousands of upvotes for his honesty.

He also discussed his infamous HAHAHAHAHAHA email regarding 22 Jump Street that came out during the Sony leaks, which was charmingly hand-typed with minimal Ctrl + V.

Asked how long it took to type, he replied: "I'm sure exactly how long. (sic) I hit the h and a for a long time before I realized I could copy and paste. I'm not the most tech savvy person around but it did become a lot easier and faster."

He also settled this important matter.

"Would you rather fight a Danny Devito sized John Stamos or a John Stamos sized Danny Devito? You're both naked."

His response:" Can I just fight a Danny devito sized Danny Devito because I think I could take him and I would be on top or I could just use him as a spinner as I'm assuming we're going to have sex after we fight if we're naked."

Tatum did the AMA to promote upcoming Magic Mike sequel Magic Mike XXL, revealing to the disappointment of his ardent fan base that he won't be full frontal naked in it.
