21 Jump Street stars Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum chatted with Parade.com about their new film, SNL hosting secrets, why they would’ve been best friends in high school, and more. Check out some highlights:
How long did it take for you guys to click on set?
TATUM: “I would say pretty much immediately. Jonah is a really fun, hilarious person, and I just love talking to the guy. If we were besties in high school, we would probably just end staying up all night talking on the phone and having sleepovers and stuff [laughing].”
HILL: “People ask if we would have been friends in high school because in the movie our characters weren’t friends, but I think we would have been best friends in high school. We are from very different places, but we have very similar morals on friendship. I’ve rarely gotten along with someone as well as this guy. We hang out all the time. Last night, I was like, ‘I miss Chan. I haven’t seen him in a few hours.’ He was in the same hotel, and I wanted to see what he was up to!”
What would you do differently if you could go back to high school now?
HILL: “I would have done theater. I probably would have met more like-minded people, although all my friends are from high school, but I was scared they would make fun of me if I did theater. And I probably would have met a really nice girl because she would like that I was sensitive.”
TATUM: “I probably would have done some things differently, but only if that means that everything still works out how it has. I’m happy where I’m at now. I really do wish I would have listened a little bit more in school. I was always like, ‘I don’t understand why I’m doing this. I don’t know how I’m going to use any of this later in life.’”
