'We started, you know, kind of grew a little bit right before we started filming,' Channing continued, and later added, 'It just brought us together.'

'Like, you know creating and movies in general - I don't really look it as just movies or stories, like we just wake up everyday and figure out how to create our life. And when you can create with someone...'
He explored the same topic while talking to People in an interview published earlier this week on Tuesday.
The star said, 'This is what I'll say about creating with someone that you are with or love: I suggest it.'
'If you are thinking about having a kid or if you're thinking about getting married, go find the hardest possible creative project with your partner,' Tatum continued.
However, the actor stated that it is important to 'enjoy' the process with your partner along with success.
'It was so hard to make the movie. Probably one of the hardest movies that I've worked on…for a lot of different reasons.'
'But when you can look across the room or the set and know that you have the best person that is next to you trying to solve problems, and you're really looking to them for answers just as equally as trying to solve them yourself, that is unbelievable.'
And while attending the star-studded NYC premiere of Fly Me To The Moon on Monday, Channing also took time to talk with E! News of Blink Twice - which originally had the title of P***y Island.

The premise is: 'When tech billionaire Slater King meets cocktail waitress Frida at his fundraising gala, he invites her to join him and his friends on a dream vacation on his private island. As strange things start to happen, Frida questions her reality,' per IMDB.
'Our relationship was sort of born inside of the creative process of it in a way,' he expressed. 'It didn't feel any different.'
'That was what brought us together and made us really feel like we're very connected on what we love about life, what we love about just things in general about being alive.'
Tatum also opened up about his and Zoe's bond growing stronger after working together on the project. 'Making movies are hard.'
'One thing I will say is if you think you're in love with somebody and you're thinking about, "Do I want to stay with them forever or be with them or have a child with them or get married?"'
'Go find the hardest possible project that you can physically find. Go build a house, paint a room, do something,' he said.
'I just respect her point of view so much. That I need her in those hard moments more than I'm like, worried if we're going to get through the hard moments.'

At the same premiere, Channing compared Kravitz to his Fly Me To The Moon co-star, Scarlet Johansson, as he gave a shout out to their comedic skills. In 2017, both Scarlet and Zoe starred in the 2017 comedic thriller, Rough Night.
'That movie was actually really underratedly funny. Like, I don't think I saw it when it came out and then I went back and saw it later, and the movie's really funny!' he told Entertainment Tonight.
Tatum added, 'Scarlett's very, very funny. Weirdly, they're both very funny, but don't get the credit for being funny.'
'Zoe and Scarlett, because they're so beautiful, people just go, "We're gonna hire you for that." Or, "We're gonna look at you as that and you're not allowed to be anything else."'
'But they're very, very, very funny. Zoe's one of the funniest people I know, so it's great,' Channing told ET.
