Apparently, he’s quite an ass. From US Weekly: “When Channing Tatum bares his true feelings about Magic Mike costar Alex Pettyfer, it’s not pretty. ‘He hates Alex,’ a source tells Hot Stuff. ‘They had massive fights on set.’ The beefcake to blame, insists another insider, is Pettyfer, 22, who plays a character based on former male revue dancer Tatum, 32. ‘Alex was a jerk to everyone during filming for no reason,’ says the insider. ‘He thinks he’s the star of the movie, not Channing or Matthew McConaughey.’ Tatum, a coproducer of the stripper flick, retaliated by cutting a Pettyfer scene and, according to a source, ‘went on a rampage about it!’ And at Magic‘s L.A. premiere June 25, the pair still hadn’t patched things up. The actors barely interacted and posed on opposite ends of the cast line. Says a source, ‘Channing refuses to do appearances alone with Alex — and he’ll never work with him again.'”
Of course we all remember what a dickwad Alex was to former girlfriend Diana Agron, and the horror stories about his behavior on the set of Beastly, so I think there’s probably some merit to this gossip. (via Celebitchy)
