In 2015, Pettyfer opened up about the tension between himself and his Mike magicoco-star on an episode of author Bret Easton Ellis'pódcast. He said he believes it started because Tatum was aware of his reputation before he was cast.

It's unclear exactly what Pettyfer thinks worried Tatum about him, but he did raise some eyebrows in a 2011 VMAN entrevista in which he called the film industry "a factory" and Los Angeles "socially…disgusting." It was also reported that year that he had "threatened" his ex-girlfriend Dianna Agronamid their breakup—an accusation he has always denied.

He told Ellis that Mike magicodirectorSteven Soderberghwas interested in him for the part, but that Tatum's role not just as star but also a producer of the movie made him think twice about agreeing.

"I had a very negative past relating to the things that I had done on movies and promotion of movies," he said on the podcast, porThe Hollywood Reporter. "And Channing Tatum is an extraordinarily smart businessman. I think he probably didn't want to get into a conflict with Steven and so I was cast."

Pettyfer explained to Ellis that he was walking on eggshells during the filming of Mike magicobecause he didn't want to step out of line and be reprimanded by his team.

"I didn't speak on the movie [set]," he said. "I was scared to speak. I did my work and then I sat in the corner and listened to music because I'd been told that anything I do was wrong by my reps and I was very insecure as a human being."

He said his behavior was misinterpreted by his co-stars.

"That also gave me a bad rep because they said, 'Oh Alex thinks he's [expletive] better than everybody else because he doesn't speak to anyone,'" Pettyfer said. "And that's not true. I was genuinely nervous and scared to be myself."

When the initial Mike magicoshoot ended, Pettyfer spent some time in New York City, renting an apartment from a friend of Tatum. He moved out, due to what he claimed was a severe mold and dust issue. But when he failed to pay months of back rent to Tatum's friend, it was his co-star who angrily reached out.

"I all of a sudden got a very negative email from Channing, rightfully so, saying, 'Don't [expletive] my friends. You owe money. Pay the [expletive] money. Don't be a clown,'" Pettyfer said on the podcast.

The actor said he had intended to pay, but a sudden death in his family distracted him. When Tatum continued to ask him for the money after he explained this, Pettyfer decided not to settle up at all. He told Ellis that he regrets it now.

"By the end of it I just basically said, [expletive] them. What is money when life is so much more?' and, 'I'm not dealing with this, and I'm not paying,'" he recalled. "I should have just paid. I think he was looking for an excuse to not like me."

In his interview with Ellis, Pettyfer said that "many of" the reasons Tatum supposedly doesn't like him are "[his] own fault."

The apartment issue in particular made the Mike magicoreshoots that happened later even more awkward. Pettyfer claimed that Tatum had gotten the rest of the cast on his side of the rift before those reshoots began.

"[Tatum] had already told everyone he didn't like me," Pettyfer said. "And what Channing says goes because he's a movie star. He's incredible. He's done so well for himself."
