His double had to take over a lot of the heavier scenes in the film, due to him needing intense physical therapy for his leg injury.
"It's not about the pain I feel in the moment," Tatum said of the injury.
"It's knowing I can't take this back. And now I know what the next six months of my life will be like … I just hate getting old. In my mind, I'm literally still 30 years old – 26, if I'm honest."
