Channing Tatum could have starred in a Fast & Furious movie, if he hadn’t bombed the audition.
Channing Tatum revealed his worst audition of all time on Jimmy Kimmel Live Wednesday night.
“That was “Fast and Furious 3: Tokyo Drift,” Tatum said when asked about his worst audition experience. “I wanted to go to Tokyo very badly. I wanted to drift Tokyo.”
Jimmy Kimmel then asked the actor, who was on the show promoting his new movie Hail, Caesar!, if it was a good idea to pick movie roles based on where he wanted to vacation. Tatum said the audition grew so bad that he stopped and walked out of the audition before it even ended.
“I stopped in the middle of the audition. I was like ‘I think we’re done, right? This is terrible,’” he said. “I don’t even know if it was — I blocked it out, mainly so I don’t remember the specifics. I think it was a combination of me being just bad, not remembering the lines, totally freaking out, I was probably sweating a lot.”
Jimmy Kimmel joked that he liked the message that Tatum was telling aspiring actors, saying, “People say ‘keep fighting.’ No, just cut bait and give up!”
