Channing Tatum Hated ‘G.I. Joe‘ So Much He Tried to Turn It Down Seven Times, Asked to Be Killed Off in Sequel: ’I Obviously Didn’t Want to Do It’Channing Tatum has already gone on record saying he hated starring in 2009’s “G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra,” so it’s not too surprising to hear the actor’s most recent revelation that he tried to avoid acting in the movie almost a dozen times. Participating in a lie detector test for Vanity Fair, Tatum said he tried passing on “The Rise of Cobra” seven times but was forced to star in the Paramount tentpole.
