Channing Tatum regrets meeting Danny McBride in this finale

Almost everyone has had an embarrassing day at work, except for Magic Mike and… “Avengers: Doomsday” star Channing Tatumthe first time he met new co-worker Danny McBride was an unfortunate goof for the ages. During a guest appearance on “Conan” in 2014, Tatum revealed that he became too much into his character when he first met McBride on the set of “This Is the End,” which may have caused a permanent rift between the pair. If there was a movie where people… I got their heads with engravingthis is this, so at least Tatum wasn’t alone in this?

In “This Is the End,” a horrific event occurs while actors Seth Rogen, Danny McBride, Jay Baruchel, Jonah Hill, and Craig Robinson celebrate at James Franco’s house, all of the actors playing parody versions of themselves. Eventually, the fictional Danny McBride goes into the deep end and ends up becoming a “Mad Max”-style wasteland warlord, complete with a pet – Channing Tatum.

Tatum told Conan that the first time he met McBride, he ran into his trailer and started “humping” him, just like he does in the movie. McBride wasn’t amused, though it’s hard to blame him. Tatum was wearing his gimp mask, and McBride had no idea who the trailer invader actually was. Although “This is the End” certainly sounds like the kind of movie that would encourage revelry on set, it seems like Tatum didn’t think properly about this.

In the interview with Conan, Tatum said he agreed to play the role while drunk, and it’s possible that some of that reckless energy carried over to the day he first met McBride, as the actor explained:

“I’d never met Danny McBride before, and I felt the appropriate thing to do was to go to his trailer in that outfit and introduce myself by grabbing him and slamming him onto the bed (…) (It didn’t go well.) I mean, really, really not well. I think he was terrified, and I don’t think he loves me to this day.”

The costume in question is a leather suit and football shoulder pads, giving it the elegance of “Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome,” but unsurprisingly McBride didn’t appreciate a strange man who broke into his trailer and tackled him while wearing a leather mask. This is the stuff of home invasion nightmares, even if it turns out to be just Tatum’s asshole in the end. No amount of surprise with a handsome face deserves to be terrified like that, whether it’s Magic Mike doing the terror or otherwise. At least we know that the humping was probably very rhythmic, Even if it’s not set to “Pony” by Ginuwine.

“This Is the End” is a hilarious and sometimes shocking comedy that pulls back the curtain on Hollywood and satirizes the industry, and There’s really nothing else like it. Just don’t expect McBride and Tatum to meet anywhere, anytime soon.
