"you my friend... was one of the realest. - Channing Tatum on James Ransone"

Los Angeles, Dec 25

Hollywood actor Channing Tatum has paid a tribute to the late actor James Ransone after his demise at the age of 46.

Channing Tatum remembered the late actor as "one of the realest" in a statement on his Instagram Story, after the pair starred together in writer/director Dito Montiel's 2011 crime thriller 'The Son of No One', reports 'Deadline'.

"There ain't words for these things (sic)", he wrote on a photo of the two of them. "But you my friend... was one of the realest. I remember being in every conversation with you and just always being like I wonder what he's gonna say!!??? Lololol".

"I love you PJ I'll see you on the next one my G", added Tatum. Chloe Sevigny, Spike Lee, Sean Baker and more have also paid tribute to Ransone following his death.

As per 'Deadline, Ransone was found dead by hanging on Friday in Los Angeles, having apparently died by suicide, according to the county medical examiner's report. He is survived by wife Jamie McPhee and their son.

Meanwhile, Channing Tatum continues to expand his range with several high-profile and diverse upcoming projects. A major highlight is 'Roofman', a true-crime comedy-drama directed by Derek Cianfrance, in which Tatum stars as real-life criminal Jeffrey Manchester, a veteran whose bizarre robbery sprees and life on the run form the heart of the story.

The film premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival and is set for wide release in late 2025, earning early acclaim and strong ratings from critics. In addition to Roofman, Tatum is set to take on dramatic roles in films like Josephine (2026), a thriller-drama co-starring Gemma Chan, where he plays a key role in a story about fear and paranoia after a child witnesses a violent crime.

Principal photography began in 2024, and the film is expected to debut at festivals before a broader release. Tatum is also preparing for a major return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, reprising Gambit in 'Avengers: Doomsday', a highly anticipated blockbuster slated for late 2026 that promises an epic ensemble and universe-shaking stakes. Moreover, he will star in Kockroach, a crime drama alongside Oscar Isaac and Zazie Beetz, further cementing his presence in gritty, character-driven cinema.

RIP. It's always shocking when someone takes their own life. We really need to normalize talking about mental struggles, especially for men. Hope his family finds strength.

Channing Tatum's upcoming slate looks incredible! 'Roofman' sounds like a wild story, and a return as Gambit? That's what I'm most excited about. He's really proving himself as a versatile actor beyond the dance movies.

The article feels a bit odd. It starts with a very sad, personal tragedy and then immediately jumps to promoting Tatum's future projects. Could have been handled with more sensitivity, no? The focus should have stayed on Ransone's life and work a bit longer.

Never saw 'The Son of No One' but Tatum's Instagram message shows what a good bond they had. "I wonder what he's gonna say" – that's such a relatable feeling about a funny, unpredictable friend. Tragic loss. 😔

Hollywood news hits differently when it's about a passing. Puts all the glamour and upcoming blockbusters into perspective. Life is fragile, yaar. Channing's co-star lineup for future films is seriously impressive though – Oscar Isaac and Zazie Beetz!
