Channing Tatum Responds to Minions Joke About His Gambit Accent in Deadpool & Wolverine
As a passionate fan, I’m excited to share that Channing Tatum is openly discussing his thoughts on the accent jokes in the Deadpool and Wolverine series. In one scene, Ryan Reynolds’ character, Deadpool, quips, “Who’s your dialect coach? The Minions?” This refers to the Minion characters from Despicable Me who speak with a similar, mumbled accent. Gambit’s hard-to-understand speech is a recurring joke in these films. Deadpool even references the 1996 film Sling Blade and breaks the fourth wall by claiming “we’re missing critical exposition” when delivered by the New Orleans native, Tatum himself.
