Channing Tatum has starred in extremely acclaimed films and field workplace hits, but one of many issues he’s most remembered for is a quote from 22 Bounce Avenue that is turn out to be a viral meme, however which the actor says did not appear overly memorable after they initially shot it.
The meme in query is when Tatum’s Jenko, working undercover, is requested his identify by the criminals they’re investigating. He says, in a bizarre voice, “My identify is Jeff.” That now iconic comedic second has popped up once more as a result of in Tatum’s new movie, Roofman, he performs a personality whose identify is definitely Jeff.
The actor spoke about that coincidence in an interview with ScreenRant‘s Ash Crossan for Roofman‘s launch, although he admits he “did not even assume” of the cross-over initially. He acknowledges that he in all probability ought to, as a result of he does hear it fairly a bit, although normally in an odd location – airports.
I hear it each single time I am going by way of TSA. Somebody in TSA, I might say over 95% of the time, goes “My identify’s Jeff.”
Wach the clip proper right here:
Tatum provides that “it is a wild factor what turns into popular culture,” as a result of he mentioned that the road “wasn’t even that humorous on the day.” However the line is a part of what makes the Bounce Avenue franchise a current comedy traditional.
That is resulted in lots of pondering the fate of Jump Street. Tatum and Jonah Hill starred in 22 Bounce Avenue in 2014, and whereas there’s been rumors about one other movie, nothing has caught. Tatum does not assume a brand new entry will ever occur due to the potential price range. Nevertheless, that does give Tatum possibilities to star in new tasks, like Roofman.
Based on a true story, Roofman stars Tatum as Jeffrey Manchester, who, after going to jail for robbing a string of McDonald’s by breaking in by way of their roofs at night time, escapes and hides out in a Toys “R” Us for months. Whereas in hiding, he adopts a brand new id and begins a relationship with an worker, risking his freedom for an opportunity at an actual connection.
ScreenRant‘s Roofman review says Tatum offers one in every of his finest performances but within the movie. Different critics have comparable ideas, because the movie is formally “Licensed Recent” on Rotten Tomatoes with a rating of 85%. Having opened solely in film theaters on October 10, Roofman completed second on the weekend field workplace with $8 million.
