Channing Tatum recently opened up about an on-set injury he sustained while filming a particularly challenging scene in his latest movie, ‘Roofman.’ The actor, who portrays fugitive Jeffrey Manchester, shared the details during an interview, describing the incident as one of the most awkward and physically demanding moments of his career. The scene in question required Tatum to perform a nude sequence, which left him with a permanent scar. According to Deadline, the accident occurred while shooting a chaotic moment where Jeffrey, caught showering in a Toys ‘R’ Us store, attempts to flee. Tatum explained that the scene involved him jumping onto a bike rack and climbing a wall, during which he gashed his leg.

The film is currently in theaters.
