When it comes to actors mourning a role they didn’t play, Channing |
|
Tatum has a tale as old as time. |
|
|
|
In , the actor said he had the opportunity to star in a remake of what |
|
is now considered a Disney classic. |
|
|
|
“One of the biggest mistakes of my career: Guillermo del Toro wanted |
|
to do ‘Beauty and the Beast’, his version of the Beast,” Tatum |
|
told the publication. |
|
|
|
The timing was not ideal, Tatum said, as he had “just had a baby.” |
|
|
|
“I was on a movie that was absolutely killing me, and the script |
|
wasn’t totally there yet,” he recalled. “I was just in a place in |
|
my head that I was like, ‘I don’t think I can do this right |
|
now.’” |
|
|
|
Tatum didn’t reveal that name of the movie he was doing at the time. |
|
He has one child, daughter, Everly, whom he shares with ex-wife, Jenna |
|
Dewan, who was born in 2013. |
|
|
|
He now deeply regrets not getting to star in a remake of the 1991 film. |
|
|
|
“It was the biggest mistake, because I’m the biggest Guillermo fan |
|
ever,” Tatum said. “And I think Guillermo doing Beauty and the |
|
Beast would’ve been the sickest movie ever.” |
|
|
|
Tatum noted the del Torro never made the movie. |
|
|
|
CNN has reached out to representatives for Tatum and del Toro for |
|
comment. |
