Channing tatum "ay hindi gusto sa akin," co-star claims

Kinumpirma ni Alex Pettyfer na ang dalawang aktor ay hindi nakakasabay sa set ng Magic Mike.


In the 2012 movie Magic Mike,Channing Tatum's Mike Lane takes Alex Pettyfer's character Adam under his wing, but, according to the latter, the actors' real-life relationship didn't look anything like that. The dramedy, loosely based on Tatum's own pre-fame career, revolves around a group of male exotic dancers in Tampa, Florida, with Mike as the star and Adam as the new blood. Pettyfer has said, however, that there was very little of a student/mentor dynamic with himself and Tatum. In fact, he has been open about their mga personal na isyu and claimed that The Nawawalang Lungsodstar just plain "does not like" him. Read on to find out why Tatum and Pettyfer didn't get along.

Pettyfer says Tatum was wary of him from the start.

In 2015, Pettyfer opened up about the tension between himself and his Magic Mikeco-star on an episode of author Bret Easton Ellis'podcast. 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 interview 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 Magic MikedirektorSteven 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, per The 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."

He feels like his attitude on-set was misunderstood.

Pettyfer explained to Ellis that he was walking on eggshells during the filming of Magic Mikebecause 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."

He and Tatum had a much more personal falling out later.

When the initial Magic Mikeshoot 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 Magic Mikereshoots 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."

While Tatum hasn't publicly responded to Pettyfer's claims (and declined to comment for The Hollywood Reporterartikulo tungkol sa podcast), kung ano ang marahil ay nagsasabi na ang lahat ay ang Pettyfer ay wala sa sumunod na 2015 sequel,Magic Mike XXL., ang kawalan ng kanyang karakter ay ipinaliwanag sa isang linya.

Ang isa sa kanilang mga co-star ay nagkomento sa sitwasyon sa ibang pagkakataon.
