Los Angeles, February 20 – Hollywood actor Channing Tatum is giving a glimpse into the aftermath of his recent shoulder surgery.
The actor took to his social media, revealing a long scar that he admitted he had expected to be "two small holes," according to 'People' magazine.
"I'm not going to lie, it's partly my fault for not asking. I thought it would just be two small holes," the 'Magic Mike' star, 45, wrote in the caption for a photo he shared on Instagram, weeks after undergoing surgery for a dislocated shoulder.
"Apparently, that wasn't the case. Hehehe. Well, it doesn't matter anyway. I like scars, and it's getting stronger every day, so thank you, doctor," he wrote. He then joked about the metal screw holding his bones together, quipping, "Also, I do like going through airport security and wondering if my shoulder will shut down the machine."
According to 'People', the actor had shared an X-ray of visibly broken bones, and then posted a photo of a large screw holding his bones together.
On Tuesday, February 3, Channing Tatum posted a photo on Instagram from his hospital bed as he prepared to undergo surgery for a "dislocated shoulder."
In the black-and-white photo, the Step Up star could be seen lying in bed while wearing a hospital cap and gown. "Just another day. Another challenge. This one is going to be tough. But whatever. Let's get it," he wrote.
The actor did not reveal how his injury occurred, though he is known for performing many of his own stunts in his movies. Back in September, the 'Roofman' star told 'Variety' that he had injured himself while shooting 'Avengers: Doomsday', which is set for a December 2026 release.
The outlet reported that the actor showed up to the interview with a limp, and his double had to take on a lot of his heavier scenes in the film, with him due to undergo intensive physical therapy for the leg injury.
He said, "I just hate getting old. In my mind, I'm literally still 30 years old, 26, if I'm honest."
