Channing Tatum is smitten — personally professionally — with girlfriend Zoe Kravitz. The couple is currently on location in Yucatan to film, with Kravitz directing and Tatum acting.

Speaking exclusively with ET's Nischelle Turner this week, Tatum couldn't help but gush over what an incredible job Kravitz is doing on her directorial debut.«I'm in awe,» the 42-year-old actor effuses.«She's doing better than I did on our first movie with ,» admits Tatum, who starred in and directed. «I mean, jeez, we barely survived and she's just killing it.» The experience led Tatum to advise Kravitz not to wear both hats when working on her own film.Tatum reveals that he'll be playing a character called Slater King in and, while keeping tightlipped about storyline details, shares that his character is wholly unlike any of his previous roles.«This is just a completely categorically different thing,» he says, referencing his background in romantic and action flicks.

Tatum adds he was flattered to be viewed in a new light, gushing that Kravitz really «saw me.» «She's got a weird gift for that.

She sees right through a lot of people's stuff and really, just who they are to her is really simple,» he shares. «She's one of the more intentional people I've ever met in my life.» That energy appears to extend to the filming environment she has created on set, with Tatum likening the experience to «summer camp.» «We're doing some really, really cool stuff,» he notes of the film. «It's super stylized and yet really fun, but has a very deep and I think a shocking sort of message at some point.» Tatum recently wrapped the third installment in his franchise, , with director Steven Soderbergh.
