In fact, Tatum has had to sacrifice quite a bit to get to maintain his appearance.
“Processed and frozen foods, salt, sugar and alcohol were all no-nos.”
But his restrictions certainly didn’t stop there.
“I would like to join you,” Tatum reportedly told Chiarella.
“I would like a beer.
I would like to have some crab.
But this is what I’m doing right now.”
The actor has also undergone excruciating exercise and fitness routines to prepare for his films, too.
“It was very emotionally draining.”
Babain also discussed the multitude of injuries Tatum experienced amid this intense training withMen’s Health AUjournalists.
“Channing also had a lot of injuries that we’d been trying to resolve,” said Babain.
“Even onMagic Mikeeveryone was injured with back issues and things like that.
We’ve changed our training completely to being safe and smart.”
Tatum and Babain didn’t limit themselves to working out at the gym.
Babain also praised his friend and client, tellingMen’sHealth AU, “Channing is a full-on athlete.
He’ll always attempt his stunts if he’s allowed to.”
