Channing Tatum is known for going to great lengths for his film roles, and his recent weight loss transformation proves just that. Dramatic before-and-after photos shared by the actor on Instagram have shown the incredible changes in his body for various projects.
On March 21, Tatum, 44, posted images showing him at different weights for three films. In the first photo, he weighed 205 pounds. The second showed him at 235 pounds for a movie called Josephine. The third image featured him at 172 pounds during the filming of Roofman.
“I’m so grateful for my genetics. Grateful for my chef/nutritionist/witch. Grateful for my trainer,” Tatum wrote in the caption. “I couldn’t make these big swings in my weight without you guys.” He added, “But I won’t be doing anymore fat roles haha. It’s too hard on the body and too hard to take off now. But damn when I look at these pics it’s just wild what the human body and will can do.”
Tatum’s followers on Instagram were amazed by the drastic changes in his weight. Many praised his commitment to his roles. One user called him “The LEGEND of em all,” while actress Laverne Cox commented, “Wow, I would do almost anything for my art but not this. Bless you sir!” Others also shared their thoughts, with one follower humorously saying, “We’re all grateful for your genetics,” and another writing, “Looking outstanding man!.”
Some fans even joked about his transformation, with one sharing, “Let’s not do the 172 ever again… But the other two are solid,” while another confessed, “I like the dad bod.” Another user added, “You should be thankful for your discipline.”
Roofman is scheduled for release on October 3, while Josephine is currently in post-production, according to IMDb.
