10 Movie Cameos Actors Hated
6. Channing Tatum - This Is The End
Of the many, many cameos in This Is the End, one of the funniest is surely that of Channing Tatum, who appears for a few scant moments as a sex slave imprisoned by Danny McBride in the movie's hilariously bleak post-apocalyptic hellscape.
The year after the film's release, though, Tatum admitted to Conan O'Brien that he regretted the cameo, largely due to agreeing to do it while drunk. He said:
"Sadly that is not a body double. That is really, really, really me... I probably had too much to drink the night that I got the email at like, three in the morning. I think they were already filming. I don't know why I even picked it up and then I read the email and it was from Seth Rogen… It said, 'Hey, I hope this isn't insulting but we had this idea on set for a cameo. It involves you, Danny McBride and Mexican wrestling masks and a leash.' I think I must have been on Ambien or drunk or something, and I was just like, 'Yeah, I'll do it, no problem,' and then ultimately had to actually go and do it... It was a terrible idea."
Granted, Tatum's appearance results in one of the movie's biggest and most unexpected laughs, so hopefully he's not feeling too red-faced about it these days.
