Actor talks about The Biebs in new Vanity Fair interview, says he wishes him well

Justin Bieber has already denied (repeatedly) that he’s having any kind of public meltdown right now but this isn’t stopping people whom he does not know from talking about him. Take Channing Tatum, for instance.

The new father (his wife gave birth to daughter Everly only a few days ago) sat down for an interview with Vanity Fair and, at some point, Justin Bieber also came up.

As Channing sees it, Justin would better hope and pray he doesn’t go down the same route as other kid stars because that would be a huge shame.

It’s a very slippery slope though.

“I worry about Bieber, man. That kid’s wildly talented. I hope he doesn’t fall down into the usual ways of young kids because it’s so hard for someone to be responsible when they’re not asked to be,” says the actor.

“We’re not asked to do things ourselves. You have someone there with a coffee. ‘You want food? I’ll get you food’,” Channing continues, adding that even he has moments when he seems to forget who he is.
