Channing Tatum is an extraordinary, smart businessman, Pettyfer says on the podcast.
He looked upon me as being a risk.
Thats not true, he insists to Ellis.
I was just genuinely nervous and scared to be myself.
I should have paid then and there, Pettyfer says as he recounts the story.
So Tatum stepped in.
I all of a sudden got a very negative email from Channing rightfully so, Pettyfer says.
What is money when life is so much more?
and Im not dealing with this, and Im not paying.
My problem doesnt come when Im on a film.
My problem comes after the film, because of promotion, because I am terribly afraid of flying.
