It wasn’t quite the “quarantine 15,” but the Magic Mike star did deal with weight gain during the coronavirus pandemic.
The 41-year-old actor discussed his body transformation on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on May 5, revealing that after putting on a few pounds, he got into the best shape of his life.
“For the first like, I’d say week or two weeks, I definitely was just drinking beers and riding dirt bikes and I was like, ‘I can’t do this for like, two months.’ Like, ‘This is bad,'” Tatum said. “And then me and my buddy, we just went really, really hard. We started training every day. And it was great. I mean, I came out a completely new person.”
When host Jimmy Fallon asked how “big” he got from all those beers and bike rides, he responded, “Pretty fat. I would say probably, college 10, a nice 10 pounds. And then I took it off.”
Back in April, Tatum posted a selfie showcasing his defined abs, writing, “It’s been a long road back. Injuries, life s–t, and just insanity in general. Ha daddy is finally back boooi!! Gonna be a fun next 10 year run.”
