Channing Tatum

Channing was put on medication for ADHD as a teen but believes it made him worse: “I truly believe some people need medication; I did not. I did better at school when I was on it, but it made me a zombie. You become obsessive. Dexedrine, Adderall — it’s like any other drug. It’s like coke or crystal meth. The more you do, the less it works.”

Howie has always struggled with ADHD: “I’ve had ADHD symptoms for as long as I can remember, but it was only in the last decade that I learned they had a name. It is good to know that those four letters are what I’ve been coping with all these years. I wasn’t an easy child at home or in school. I didn’t earn my high school diploma, but I never felt any less loved by my parents.”
