When Channing Tatum isn't being a doting father, award-winning actor and all-round Adonis, he enjoys watching gymnastics. 

More specifically, Simon Biles' gymnastics.

In an interview with Ellen DeGeneres, Tatum admitted he was a huge fan of the five-time Olympic gold champion and had a theory that she finds it hard to stay on the ground.

'She's so tiny that she has a harder time holding onto the ground than just going up, because she's always just flying away,' he said. 

I mean, it's not the craziest theory out there.

To show his appreciation for Biles, Channing transformed into a human statue for the gymnast's Olympic medals before she placed an Olympic gold medal around both Channing and Ellen's necks.
