Channing Tatum opens up about the pressure he feels to look perfect

The year 2022 already looks excellent for Channing Tatum, since he made his debut as a film director with the film dogco-stars with Sandra Bullock in The lost Citywill be released in a film written and directed by his girlfriend Zoë Kravitz and confirmed the third installment of Magic Mikein which he assures that there will be a thousand surprises.

Due to his multiple ongoing projects, he has been giving interviews to magazines and shows television shows, in which he has talked about everything from his relationship with Zoë to the challenges of directing and the Marvel movie that never materialized. He recently talked about a very serious topic: the pressure he faces to look a certain way.

“Having that body is not natural”

It’s no secret that in Hollywood there is enormous pressure to have the “ideal” physique, but it is often believed – wrongly – that this affects actresses more than actors. Statements made by Channing in an interview on The Kelly Clarkson Show They show us that this could not be further from the truth.

The actor confessed that the only reason that made him hesitate to shoot another film of Magic Mike it was that he knew what kind of figure he should have for her and it’s not so easy for him to get it anymore. Also, she makes a lot of sacrifices to look like this and she doesn’t think it’s healthy.

I swear to you, that could be why I didn’t want to do the third movie because it had to look like this. Even if you train and exercise, having that body is not natural.

“Being this skinny is not healthy”

Regarding the strict diet that he has to follow to have the physique required for his role, he thinks that it is not even a healthy diet (you know, stop eating flour, processed sugars, eat more vegetables and protein, etc.), since he simply eats very little, to the point that the figure he achieves is not sustainable.

It’s not even healthy eating, you have to starve. I don’t think being this skinny is healthy for you. I can’t understand how people who work from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm can keep fit because it’s my full time job and I can barely make it.

follow a very strict diet

Thats not all! He also revealed that the closer the shooting date gets, the stricter things get, since that’s when he has to look perfect and he’s not even allowed to put salt on his food.

What I miss the most is salt. When the date when you have to be naked in front of the camera approaches, you don’t eat salt and everything tastes like water. It does not taste like anything.

It’s getting harder for him

In addition, he was honest about the fact that being bigger, gaining and losing weight in such an extreme way is no longer so easy for him. His weight fluctuates about five or seven kilograms naturally, but he has had to gain and lose more than 10 kg for his films. When he was younger, it wasn’t a big deal, but like everything in life, metabolism changes.

Even now, before production begins, he’s already sticking to the strict regimen. Listening to his statement, we would not be surprised if Magic Mike it stays like a trilogy.
