Channing Tatum is back in the spotlight, but this time, it’s not for his dancing or acting. The star recently underwent shoulder surgery to address a painful separation, and he’s sharing his recovery journey directly with fans through Instagram. Posting from his hospital bed, he delivered a dose of motivation to everybody watching, urging them to face challenges with a positive attitude. That’s the kind of spirit we need to combat those post-holiday blues!
Along with an uplifting caption, Tatum offered a peek into the serious nature of the surgery by sharing X-ray images of his shoulder, showing it being held together with a screw. Talk about a reminder to take care of yourself! Just a month ago, he was enjoying the sun with his girlfriend, Inka Williams, in Costa Rica, so this is certainly a stark contrast to what seemed like a perfect beach getaway. Here’s hoping the lovebirds are keeping each other’s spirits high during this healing process—surgery definitely isn’t as glamorous as sunbathing on a beach!
