Derek Cianfrance’s Roofman has already opened to great acclaim and made its theatrical debut last week in the United States. Channing Tatum is one of the primary reasons for the film’s strong reception, and he even put his body on the line for the job. In a recent interview, the Magic Mike star opened up about his experience. It was where he performed a dangerous nude scene that left him injured.
Channing Tatum describes his Roofman injury
Channing Tatum has gone to great lengths for his roles. Roofman is a story about a man living in a toy store after escaping prison. The role demanded the same kind of commitment from the 45-year-old actor.
In one of the scenes in the movie, the store manager catches Tatum’s character while showering in the store. This leads to a hilarious sequence where Tatum runs wildly toward his secret hideout while being naked.
“I mean, it wasn’t great, because I’m butt naked, so I can’t wear pads or anything,” Tatum recalled as he spoke to Entertainment Weekly, “So I was wet and soapy, and it was just a messy scene. I did actually get hurt jumping up onto the bike rack, and then I had to do the funny jump into my little hideaway.”
This led to an injury. Tatum continued, “I didn’t make it over the edge of the hideaway, and I gashed my [leg]. I still have a scar from it on my leg, and we just had to glue it together and keep going.”
But for the star, this was not the most memorable part of the shoot. He recalled, “I think the most memorable thing, though, is looking at Derek [the director] and going, ‘How are we shooting this? Because at any angle, you’re going to see stuff.’ He continued, ‘And he’s like, ‘Yeah, we’re going to figure it out.’ And I’m like, ‘What’s figure it out mean? Because you’re right behind me as I’m jumping up on the thing. You’re going to be right down the barrel.’”
Ultimately, the editing ensured the audience did not see Channing Tatum fully exposed during the sequence.
Roofman is now playing in theaters across the United States.
