AceShowbiz - Not every hunky actor can land role in "Fast and Furious" movies, especially if their audition don't go very well like Channing Tatum's. The 35-year-old hottie revealed during an appearance on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" that he once auditioned for "The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift", and it turned out to be one of the worst experiences in his career.
Tatum began his story admitting that he wanted to be in the movie just because he really wanted to visit Tokyo. "I stopped in the middle of the audition. I blocked it out mainly, so I don't remember the specifics," he recalled.
"I think it was a combination of probably me being just bad, not remembering the lines, like totally freaked out, probably sweating a lot. They didn't even try to stop me - they were like. 'Alright, it's probably a good idea,' " he added.
"Tokyo Drift" came out in 2006, starring Lucas Black as a teenager caught up in the world of street racing after he moved to Japan. It marked the first film in the "Fast and Furious" franchise to exclude Paul Walker's Brian O'Connor. The late actor made his last appearance as the character in last year's "Furious 7".
When you're not busy imagining what "Tokyo Drift" would look like with Tatum in it, go watch his new film "Hail Caesar" which is in theaters across the nation right now.
