Channing Tatum felt like he was attending “a clown show” during his days as a stripper.<\/p>\n
The 45-year-old actor actually worked as a stripper before he found success in Hollywood, but Channing didn’t find it to be an enjoyable experience at all.<\/p>\n
The movie star – who played a stripper in the Magic Mike film franchise – said on The Drew Barrymore Show: “I actually stripped for real in Florida. Back then it was … It’s just a whole different thing.<\/p>\n
“It’s not the greatest world. It is so misogynistic. If anything, you’re kind of, almost like it’s a clown show. You’re almost embarrassing the woman on stage.”<\/p>\n
Drew later asked Channing how he managed to be “such a good guy while being this hot”. The talk-show host also described the actor as “the complete package” – but Channing was quick to downplay the suggestion.<\/p>\n
The actor – who was married to actress Jenna Dewan between 2009 and 2019 – replied: “I don\u2019t know about that. Look, there’s a lot of exes that you could talk to that definitely would disagree with that.”<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Channing recently claimed that movie studios are “confused”.<\/p>\n
The actor believes streaming platforms have transformed the film industry, and Channing thinks movie studios are now unsure of where to turn next.<\/p>\n
He told Variety: “This whole thing is upside down right now. The streamers came in and e****-up the industry a bit \u2014 for good and for bad. The studios are confused; the streamers are confused.”<\/p>\n
Channing explained that streaming companies are paying more money upfront than studios, and the new landscape is having a huge impact on the film industry more broadly.<\/p>\n
Channing – who is one of the biggest names in Hollywood – explained: “You\u2019re incentivising me to go make a subpar movie \u2014 a B script, a programmer that isn\u2019t special.”<\/p>\n
The actor also revealed that White House Down, his 2013 action movie, was a turning point in his own career.<\/p>\n
Channing explained that he’s subsequently looked for a wider variety of movie roles.<\/p>\n
He said: “With Dear John and The Vow, I became that guy, and Jump Street rescued me out of that. But now I\u2019m the Jump Street guy. After I did White House Down, I told my managers, \u2018If I have a gun in my hand, don\u2019t send it to me.\u2019”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
