We are often mesmerized by an actor’s enthralling performance in the tempting world of the entertainment business. While we hold Hollywood stars in high regard for their impressive talent, every so often one of them manages to further dazzle us with extraordinary physical prowess. And it happens even less often when a well-known actor is in awe of another actor. A similar instance was when the talented Daniel Radcliffe applauded his fellow co-star and acclaimed actor, Channing Tatum.
Tatum’s charisma lies in his ability to seamlessly embody physically demanding roles, from heart-stopping dance moves in Step Up to enthralling action sequences in G.I. Joe and Magic Mike. Every action he takes reflects his strength, dexterity, and confidence.
In addition to his on-screen charisma and commitment, the 21 Jump Street star’s exceptional physique enables him to project a distinctive aura that draws viewers from all over the world.
Even his The Lost City co-star was in awe of his powerful physical qualities.
Daniel Radcliffe On Channing Tatum’s Physique
Daniel Radcliffe and Channing Tatum had a good working relationship in Adam Nee’s The Lost City (2022).
After seeing his fellow actor in person, the Imperium star was persuaded to believe that Tatum might be the world’s nicest man. Well, it is also said that the Step Up actor has spent a large portion of The Lost City writhing around in a wet t-shirt despite having an intimidating physique.
Radcliffe, who is best known for playing the titular hero in the Harry Potter film series, plays a villain for the first time in this 2022 action-adventure comedy film. Aside from that, the 33-year-old star was curious to explore more of his villainous character.
Shortly after lockdown procedures were relaxed, Radcliffe and his The Lost City co-stars shot the action-adventure in the Dominican Republic. The Jungle actor discussed the cast’s enthusiasm for working together on the film during an appearance on Good Morning Britain.
Additionally, when Tatum was mentioned, the David Copperfield actor praised him for his kindness and his skill at performing stunts.
“He [Channing Tatum] is the world’s nicest man. He is also genuinely the most physically capable actor. I’ve worked with stuntmen that know him really well and they’re like, ‘He’s better than us at some stuff.’ He’s made to be an action star.”
Channing Tatum Saved Daniel Radcliffe From A Boat Accident
Daniel Radcliffe recalled how Channing Tatum’s kind nature and background in stunt work were helpful on set. He admitted that one of his earliest scenes called for him to stand on the edge of a boat.
The 42-year-old actor hid to the side and held on to Radcliffe covertly so as to prevent him from falling off, just in case the camera missed it. The first day as The F Word actor recalled:
“I was on a boat and trying to look cool in a suit. And it was very very choppy waters, and I think they were worried about me going over the side on my first day. So you don’t see it in the film. But Channing was on that boat also sort of doing stunt safety for me, just like leaning and grabbing my leg.”
Moreover, Radcliffe acknowledged to Good Morning Britain that keeping up with his appearance in a suit was challenging. However, he said he was not in as much trouble as Tatum and Sandra Bullock.
“I was very sweaty and it was a job to keep from looking just drenched the whole time. But I also had a much easier time of it compared to Channing and Sandra and the crew. They were doing long weeks in the jungle and I was coming in every so often for two or three days a week.”
For the unversed, critics gave it generally favorable reviews, and the movie made over $190 million worldwide against a $68 million budget.
The Lost City is currently available for streaming on Paramount Plus, fuboTV, and Amazon Prime Video.
