Channing Tatum’s Regime To Shape Up For “Magic Mike 3” Was Brutal
Channing Tatum says he almost didn’t reprise his role in “Magic Mike 3” all because of the difficulty in working out.
And for a good reason! The 41-year-old actor is known for movies like “Step Up” and “She’s the Man,” but according to Page Six he tells Kelly Clarkson that this prep was much harder. He had to take on an intense fitness regimen to keep up for the final installment of the “Magic Mike” series.
Channing explained you still have to starve yourself even if you keep up working out. He added it was much easier for him to shed weight for roles when he was younger.
The last we broke news about Channing Tatum he was reacting to Dave Chappelle’s Netflix special and the backlash from his remarks about transgender people.
Tatum, 41, posted to his Instagram Stories seeming to show both appreciations for Chappelle’s past work while also acknowledging the “hurt” the comedian has caused with his latest special, The Closer, in which he describes himself as “Team TERF,” or trans-exclusionary radical feminist.
Tatum’s post included a post from comic D.L. Hughley to Chappelle’s 2019 speech at the Kennedy Center to accept the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor. “I understand that Dave is a very dangerous person to talk about at the moment,” Tatum wrote. “I understand and hate that he has hurt so many people with things he has said. This doesn’t excuse anything hurtful tho to be clear.”
He continued, “Any human can hurt someone (usually cause they’re hurt) but any human can heal and heal others just the same,” he continued. “This little piece healed me back in the day. I can’t forget that.”
