Channing Tatum slams the movie that made him a mega-star: 'I f---ing hate GI Joe'

Tell us what you really think, Channing Tatum! 

The 35-year-old let rip on the blockbuster that catapulted him to leading-man status, slamming his critically panned 2009 flick GI Joe: Rise of The Cobra in an interview on SiriusXM's Howard Stern Show.

Channing didn't hold back from biting the hand that fed him, revealing that movie studio Paramount forced him into doing the movie and playing a role he didn't want. Get ready for a dose of brutal – and rather refreshing – honesty from Channing in the video above.

GI Joe raked in more than $390 million worldwide, so poor baby Channing had to stick around for the 2013 sequel GI Joe: Retaliation…even if his role was greatly reduced.

But without GI Joe, we might not have had Magic Mike. Imagine a world like that (*violent sobbing*).

Magic Mike XXL is in cinemas July 9. Watch the trailer:
