Channing Tatum has said he felt more like a garage worker changing a tyre than a father when he first became a parent.

His wife Jenna Dewan-Tatum gave birth to the couple's first daughter Everly in May 2013, but Channing didn't find his role as a dad much "fun" during the youngster's first year, joking he felt more like an "assistant".
Speaking to the Daily Mirror newspaper he explained: "The only think that guys can really do in the beginning is just be assistants, like, 'Diaper? Give it to me - got it'. And it's like doing a tyre change during a NASCAR race. You do it, then you just hand her back.
"For the first year, that's pretty much all guys are - they are just assistants."
But now that his daughter is 20 months old, beginning to walk and talk, he's in a much happier place.
"But now it's starting to get fun. Everly's starting to say "Dada" and really recognise me. She's also starting to walk and everything, so it's getting really cool."
Whilst the star's settled into his parental role, he praised his wife for being a "superwoman" and raising their baby at the same time as juggling her career.
"We had the baby while we were on 'Jupiter Ascending' and I don't ever recommend doing four movies and trying to have a kid. It was not such a good idea. But my wife is a superwoman. I don't know how she did it. She went to work six weeks after she had the baby."
