Channing Tatum shares update from the hospital: ‘Another challenge’

Channing Tatum is facing some unforeseen challenges. The actor shared a photo from the hospital, revealing that he had to undergo surgery. 

The photo is black and white and shows Tatum in the hospital room, wearing a hospital robe. He’s seen leaning against the bed, looking at the camera with his head tilted. 

“Just another day. Another challenge. This one is gonna be hard. But whatever. Let’s get it in,” he captioned the post. Tatum’s girlfriend, Inka Williams, shared words of encouragement in the comments. “Big bad wolf,” she wrote, adding a heart emoji. “We got disss.” 

Tatum and Williams have been together for about a year, with the two getting together months after the end of Tatum’s engagement to Zoe Kravitz. The pair have been photographed spending time together at events and vacations. Most recently, they welcomed the New Year in Costa Rica, with them photographed enjoying the beach and the water together.

In an interview published in Variety this September, Tatum revealed that he was injured while working on the film “Avengers: Doomsday.” According to the article, Tatum had a limp while speaking to the reporter, with him having to rely on his stunt double for most of the action scenes.

“We had tons more shooting,” Tatum said. “It’s not about the pain I feel in the moment. It’s knowing I can’t take this back. And now I know what the next six months of my life will be like … I just hate getting old. In my mind, I’m literally still 30 years old — 26, if I’m honest.”

In the near future, Tatum is involved in various films, including “Josephine,” which recently premiered at the Sundance Film Festival, and “Doomsday,” where he’s reprising his role as Gambit.
