Channing Tatum, 44, has promised he won’t take on “fat roles” anymore after his performance in “Josephine”. He said it’s too hard on the body.

In an Instagram post, actor Channing Tatum shared a comparison of his current appearance with his physique in two different films he worked on. The “Magic Mike” star spoke about the difficulty of making such physical changes.

“The first photo is from today: 93 kg. The second photo, 106 kg, for a film called Josephine. Then I went to the third photo, where I’m at 78 kg for a film called Roofman,” the actor explained.

Although he’s proud of his work, Channing Tatum said that making these transformations takes a big toll. He thanked his trainer, nutritionist, and chef for guiding him through the journey.

“I couldn’t make these big weight changes without you. But I’m done with fat roles. It’s too hard on the body and too hard to lose afterward,” he noted.

The two films mentioned by Tatum are in post-production. The actor also said he was impressed by the human body’s ability to adapt.


“When I look at these photos, it’s amazing what the human body and willpower can do,” he wrote.
