Channing Tatum Recalls Nude Scene - Channing Tatum's Nude Scene in 'The Imposter - Roofman'

Channing Tatum, 45, bares all in his latest film 'The Imposter - Roofman', set to hit US theaters on October 10 and German cinemas on November 27. The actor found the nude scene uncomfortable, but praised his co-star Peter Dinklage.

Tatum's character, Jeffrey Manchester, is discovered naked by Dinklage's character in a scene set in a toy store. Director Derek Cianfrance did not plan the nude scene, causing Tatum discomfort. Tatum requested the scene not to be 'weird' or explicit enough for an NC-17 rating.

Tatum admitted that standing naked in front of the camera while everyone else was dressed was his 'worst nightmare'. However, he enjoyed shooting the scene with Dinklage, calling him a great scene partner. In another scene, Tatum had to climb onto a bicycle frame naked for a close-up shot, which he found equally uncomfortable.

Despite his initial discomfort, Tatum's nude scene in 'The Imposter - Roofman' is expected to be a talking point when the film releases. Fans can catch the film in US theaters from October 10 and in Germany from November 27.
