Channing Tatum Says He Won't Be Taking on 'Fat Roles' Again

Channing Tatum will no longer take "big swings" when it comes to his weight for movie roles.

On Friday (March 22), the Blink Twice actor, 44, shared an Instagram carousel of his fluctuating weight, where he went from 235 to 175 pounds for the upcoming crime drama Roofman before gaining enough to reach 205.

"We back up!" Tatum began the caption alongside a photo showing him poolside.

The actor went on to share gratitude for his chef and nutritionist in addition to his trainer. "I couldn’t make these big swings in my weight without you guys. But i won’t be doing anymore fat roles haha," he wrote.

"It’s [too] hard on the body and to hard to take off now. But damn when i look at these pics it’s just wild what the human body and will can do," Tatum concluded.

Tatum, who led the Magic Mike franchise for three installments, appeared on The Kelly Clarkson Show in 2022, where he revealed that the weight loss process for the series is unhealthier than one might expect.

"You have to starve yourself," he said in the video below. "I don’t think when you’re that lean, it’s actually healthy."

"Truly, I don’t know how people that work a 9-to-5 actually stay in shape, because it’s my full-time job and I can barely do it," he added.

Referring to his weight, Tatum also shared that he "can't get it off," and fluctuates 15 pounds at most when he used to drop 15 pounds easily.
