Channing Tatum is a well-known actor, and to reach where he is today he also has had his fair share of struggle. He made his debut in 2005's Coach Carter and from then on he went on to star in films like She's the Man, Step Up, G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra, Dear John, The Vow, 21 Jump Street, Magic Mike, White House Down, and Kingsman: The Golden Circle.

He is considered one of the best actors to play a hardcore action role. But the star's career trajectory would have likely gone a very different path had he auditioned well for the third instalment of the Fast and Furious saga. Channing Tatum shared his experience with an entertainment portal where he revealed that the Fast & Furious audition was a horrible experience for him. Here is what the actor had to say.
