Channing Tatum has revealed that he isn't the biggest fan of GI Joe: The Rise of Cobra - in fact, he *f**king hate[s]" it.
Speaking to Howard Stern on his SiriusXM show, Tatum said that his early leading role was forced upon him by Paramount, and he doesn't have good memories of the shoot.
"Look, I'll be honest. I f**king hate that movie. I hate that movie," Tatum said of the 2009 action film.
"I was pushed into doing that movie. [After] Coach Carter, they signed me for a three-picture deal. And as a young [actor], you're like, 'Oh my god, that sounds amazing, I'm doing that!'"
Tatum said that he didn't want to taint the fictional soldier and that he actually wanted to play Snake Eyes, a role that was given to Ray Park.
"The script wasn't any good," he said. "I didn't want to do something that I thought was 1) bad, and 2) I just didn't know if I wanted to be GI Joe."
However, Tatum admitted that the film helped make him a bigger star, and that it could have been a worse project.
"I could have been given, I don't know, Scream 5," he joked. "I'm super lucky and blessed to have been given that film. That was really not all that bad. [But you have] no option. 'You're doing this or we're gonna sue you'."
Tatum recently disappointed fans by ruling out an appearance in X-Men: Apocalypse as Gambit. His debut in the comic franchise is due for UK release on October 7, 2016.
