We're going to bring out the president of your fan club.
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.
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.
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.
It's a massive fight scenes and all that which you've done yourself as well, right?
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
You had quite a bad injury, didn't you?
Yes. Which wasn't the fighting, it was
No, I
I I I burned pretty much all the skin off of my my man down there. It was it was not good.
You have a sword.
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.
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.
Yeah, that that didn't end so well.
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.
Oh God, here we go.
Hi. Hi. How are you? Oh my gosh. Oh my gosh. Look what I made for you. I mean It's your movie, The Eagle. There you go.
Oh my God, he's touching me. You didn't say he was going to touch me like this.
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.
He's so big.
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?
She banged.
You didn't ding. I got it first. One nil. One nil. She banged and you only made $400. You're so much you're so much more than that. What two countries was The Eagle filmed in?
I got it first. Uh Budapest and Scotland.
Okay. All right. You promote your movies better than I do. Okay. Okay. Your wife, Jenna Dewan, was previously, wow, look at this. Was previously at Young Hollywood studio promoting a campaign for which organization?
PETA.

He worked as a mortgage broker and he was a telemarketer and and you also worked in a nursery with kitties and puppies and
Where do you like to read your scripts?

All right, darling, that's the end of the quiz. Hug it out.
Oh my gosh. Oh my gosh. Oh my God, this is so cute. All right, thanks. Thank you.
Oh, yeah, one last thing. I'm really sorry to hear about your sword injury.
No problem. Thank you. I'm pretty fulfilled, I think.
Glad you're married. I didn't even get a look in. Didn't even look once. That's how I feel when we're out as well. That's why I normally just make an exit right there. Right. Down that way. Anyway, um, thanks for stopping in. It's always good to see you.
Yes, sir.
Um, and hopefully one day you'll be out of shape.
