Channing Tatum Meets Olympic Champion Simone Biles and Freaks Out More Than She Does

19-yr-old Simone Biles was one of the stand-out athletes at the Rio 2016 Olympic games. At her first ever Olympics, the gymnast brought home FIVE medals: 4 Gold and 1 Bronze.

And now, like most human beings, Channing Tatum is a huge fan of her! 

Tatum and Biles featured on the latest Ellen show but Tatum had no idea he was going to meet the Olympian until he got on stage. 

“Simone is back there, did you meet her backstage?” Ellen DeGeneres asks Tatum. “No I didn’t, but I want to,” he admits before adding, “I’m gonna freak out.”

Degeneres points out that Biles will probably freak out too, but Tatum maintains he’s going to “freak out more, I bet.”

Later in the episode, during Biles’ interview, Degeneres tells the gymnast she has the perfect place for her to display her many gold medals. Cue Tatum emerging from backstage on a pedestal, adorned in Biles’ many medals.
