Magic Mike's Alex Pettyfer bares all about Channing Tatum feud: 'He doesn't like me'
British actor Alex Pettyfer has finally spilled the beans on his long-rumoured feud with Magic Mike co-star and producer Channing Tatum.
The 25-year-old gave a juicy interview to Bret Easton Ellis on his B.E.E. podcast, confirming that his relationship with Channing was the main reason why he wasn't in Magic Mike XXL. Hit the grab above for Alex's bombshell chat.
"[It's] because Channing Tatum does not like me and for many reasons – many being my own fault," Alex revealed.
One of the issues was Alex's negative reputation on set. It got to the point where he said he was "scared to speak" in case he did something wrong.
It gets really meaty around the 2.48 mark. Alex recalls a nasty, expletive-ridden email Channing sent when he failed to pay rent on a New York apartment he was renting from one of Channing's friends.
Alex was grieving for his cousin who'd died suddenly, plus he'd just moved out because he couldn't breathe properly in the apartment. But Channing wasn't having a bar of his excuses.
"I think he was looking for an excuse to not like me," Alex added.
Interestingly, Alex doesn't regret Magic Mike at all, even if things went belly up with Channing.
Right of reply, Chan-man?
