Young Hollywood

We're going to bring out the president of your fan club.

Channing Tatum

My gosh. Oh my God, he's touching me. You didn't say he was going to touch me. Oh, Oh my gosh. Oh my gosh.

Young Hollywood

I'm Oliver Trevena here at Young Hollywood Studio with this handsome young man, Channing Tatum. How are you? Oh, I'm trying to keep a little bit apart because he's so bloody handsome. Look, I'm sitting with a girl I'm like let's go and see a movie. One of your movies. You take your top off and I sort of sink in my chair. While she's looking at me munching my popcorn. I don't think you're doing so bad, man. Come on. I'm definitely not doing as good. I tell you that. Your new film, The Eagle. Oh, yes. It looks quite grueling to shoot.

Channing Tatum

You know, Britain, you know, so it's especially Scotland. God, it's by far one of the most forgiving, non-forgiving places that I've ever I've ever been. I mean, it's you wake up every day and you know that you're going to be wet and freezing cold for 13 hours a day.

Young Hollywood

It's a massive fight scenes and all that which you've done yourself as well, right?

Channing Tatum

Yes. I definitely on the fighting. there was only one river scene where they wouldn't let me go down the rapid because insurance purposes, but

Young Hollywood

You had quite a bad injury, didn't you?

Channing Tatum

Yes. Which wasn't the fighting, it was

Young Hollywood

No, I

Channing Tatum

I I I burned pretty much all the skin off of my my man down there. It was it was not good.

Young Hollywood

You have a sword.

Channing Tatum

Yes, my other sword. uh it was it by far the most painful thing I've I've ever been through. Um, the short story in a in a hypothermic river all day and uh they're pouring warm water down our wetsuits that's underneath our costumes to keep us warm so we can be in the water all day. They yelled wrap. Walking up and it's about a 10 minute hike uh out and on the trail. This poor guy's been running up and down about 15 minutes up and down to the trucks. Comes running down with this bottle and uh he's like, "Yeah, you want to warm up before you go up?" I'm like, "Yeah, why not?" Pours it down and what had happened was that he didn't get all the way down to the river to dilute the kettle water with uh river water. So, made it warm instead of boiling.

Young Hollywood

I love that you shot a massive film of sliding down mountains, sword fights, fist fights. And then you end up burning your your penis with hot water.

Channing Tatum

Yeah, that that didn't end so well.

Young Hollywood

Well, we've got uh we've got a little quiz for you. And we're going to bring out the uh the president of your fan club to come and ask some questions. to see how well you know yourself.

Channing Tatum

Channing Tatum

Oh my God, he's touching me. You didn't say he was going to touch me like this.

Young Hollywood

Why didn't you have that same effect with me? I'm here too. So it's very simple. I ask a question. You whack the buzzer if you know the answer. And it's all about you.

Guest

Young Hollywood

He is, isn't he? I thought exactly the same. Look, your hair. Look, your beard bread. We were meant to be best friends and maybe lovers. I don't know. Let's just play this. In the year 2000, what Ricky Martin music video did you appear in?
