Channing Tatum refuses to book ‘fat roles' in Hollywood as actor sheds 30 pounds
The "Magic Mike" star, 44, recently shared his dramatic body transformation over the years in a candid Instagram post. He revealed a 30-pound weight fluctuation for different film roles.
"We back up!" Tatum shared on social media with a carousel of shirtless selfies.
"1st photo is today 205. 2nd photo 235 for a movie called Josephine," Tatum added, as he showed off his journey through different weight classes.
"Then went to 3rd photo which is 172 for a movie Roofman."
The Hollywood heartthrob credited his ability to transform his physique to a dedicated team of professionals but admitted that the toll on his body has become too much to handle.
"I'm so grateful for my genetics. Grateful for my chef/nutritionist/witch. Grateful for my trainer. I couldn't make these big swings in my weight without you guys," he continued.
"But I won't be doing any more fat roles," he laughed. "It's too hard on the body and too hard to take off now. But damn when I look at these pics it's just wild what the human body… can do."
Tatum rose to fame by starring in films such as "Coach Carter" and in the 2006 comedy "She's the Man" starring Amanda Bynes.
While the Hollywood actor took on physically demanding roles throughout his illustrious career, Tatum put his physique to the test when he starred in the 2006 dance movie "Step Up."
As Tatum played opposite his co-star Jenna Dewan, their relationship turned into an off-camera romance.
The couple tied the knot in 2009 and welcomed a daughter, Everly, in 2013.
Dewan filed for divorce in 2018. The actress revealed why she and Tatum called off their marriage in her 2019 memoir, "Gracefully You: How to Live Your Best Life Every Day."
"I'd come to realize the dynamic I was in wasn't serving me nor was it serving my daughter," the actor-dancer wrote, according to People. "First and foremost, I had to accept the realization this isn't working and had moved into hurting."
Tatum said that after their divorce he focused mainly on his daughter.
"I just dropped everything and just focused on her," he told Vanity Fair at the time. "And it was truly the best possible thing that I ever could have done. Because in the alone time that I have with just me and her, we've become best friends."
In 2021, Tatum sparked dating rumors with "Big Little Lies" actress Zoë Kravitz.
Two years later, the couple were engaged to be married. However, in 2024, Tatum and Kravitz reportedly called it quits after three years together, according to People.

Jennifer Lopez & Ben Affleck Continue To Take Major Decisions Together, Says ‘Source'
Former spouses and Ben Affleck continue to be in the limelight even after they officially parted ways in January. Irrespective of the split, the duo continues to make important decisions together, especially regarding the sale of their Beverly Hills home. Now, a latest update, as per a source, suggests that the ex-spouses have decided to take the mansion off the market. Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck took their Beverly Hills mansion off the market, says 'source' As per PEOPLE's source, Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck have taken their Beverly Hills house off the market after failing to find a buyer for a year. In June 2024, the news outlet reported that the ex-couple tried to sell the mansion off the market for privacy. The following month, Lopez and Affleck listed the mansion for sale at an asking price of $68 million. However, they were unsuccessful in finding a buyer for 10 months. As a result, the two stars decreased the asking price by $8 million. This brought the price of the property from $68 million to $59.9 million. Nevertheless, Lopez and Affleck failed to find a buyer for their house for a year and have now taken it off the market. PEOPLE's source stated, 'While they've been hoping to sell the property, they've also been hesitant to take a big loss.' The individual added that the ex-couple 'lowered the price to get more interest,' but when that did not happen, 'they were advised to take it off the market.' The insider said, 'It was a business decision that they made together.' A real estate source also commented on this situation, stating, 'It's a rough sellers market and especially for that price point. Taking it off the market until it's more of a seller friendly climate, seems like the smartest decision.' As of now, the public real estate records show the removal of the sale from the market. Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck purchased the estate in May 2023 for $60.8 million. After listing the estate, the 'Accountant' actor bought a new house for himself in Los Angeles for $20.5 million. Meanwhile, Lopez reportedly purchased a new house near the city for almost $18 million.
