Channing Tatum has sworn off doing any more acting roles that require him to gain weight.
On Friday the 44-year-old heartthrob — whose new girlfriend is Australian beauty Inka Williams — took to Instagram to share a set of shirtless photos with his 17.4 million followers.
Starting with a present-day snapshot of him wearing nothing but black briefs and showing off his chiseled torso, he wrote in the caption, ‘We back up! lol. 1st photo is today 205 (lbs).’
A second image featured the star appearing noticeably heavier as he took a mirror selfie. He noted, ‘2nd photo 235 for a movie called Josephine.’
He shared a third and final image looking lean and slender, announcing, ‘I won’t be doing any more fat roles, haha. It’s too hard on the body and too hard to take off now.’
The last picture showed the Magic Mike sensation with his dark hair longer than usual and he shared that at the time he weighed ‘172 for a movie [called] Roofman.’

Tatum, who shares 11-year-old daughter Everly with ex-wife Jenna Dewan, said he’s glad to have his genetics and a helpful team to help him maintain his fitness.
‘I’m so grateful for my genetics. Grateful for my chef/nutritionist/witch. Grateful for my trainer. I couldn’t make these big swings in my weight without you guys,’ the Hollywood vet wrote.
Gushing comments quickly poured in from fans as they ogled the thirst traps.
Padma Lakshmi was among the admirers, taking to the post to simply write, ‘Wow!’
And film director Katie Burrell added to the thread, ‘Everyone say thank you Channing.’
An IMDb logline for Channing’s upcoming thriller Josephine reads: ‘After witnessing a brutal attack in Golden Gate Park, eight-year-old Josephine is plunged into a maelstrom of fear and paranoia. She acts out with increasing violence, looking for any way to regain control of her own safety.’ The movie does not yet have a release date.
The Blink Twice actor will also star in the upcoming crime drama Roofman, slated for an October 3 release, about the true story of serial robber Jeffrey Manchester.
Channing went public with new girlfriend, 25-year-old Australian model Inka Williams, in early March.

He was previously engaged to Zoe Kravitz, but the couple called off their engagement in late 2024.
‘I feel like I’m dating the king of England… actually he’s way better,’ Inka recently told the Herald Sun about the new romance.
‘I am very happy,’ she added.
Rumors first swirled about the pair when they were spotted at the Santa Monica Proper Hotel in January.
