Channing Tatum thinks movie studios are "confused".
The 45-year-old actor believes that streaming platforms have transformed the film industry, and Channing thinks movie studios are now unsure of where to turn next.
He told Variety: "This whole thing is upside down right now. The streamers came in and e****-up the industry a bit — for good and for bad. The studios are confused; the streamers are confused."
Channing explained that streaming companies are paying more money upfront than studios, and the new landscape is having a huge impact on the film industry more broadly.
Channing - who is one of the biggest names in Hollywood - explained: "You’re incentivising me to go make a subpar movie — a B script, a programmer that isn’t special."
The actor also revealed that White House Down, his 2013 action movie, was a turning point in his own career.
Channing explained that he's subsequently looked for a wider variety of movie roles.
He said: "With Dear John and The Vow, I became that guy, and Jump Street rescued me out of that. But now I’m the Jump Street guy. After I did White House Down, I told my managers, ‘If I have a gun in my hand, don’t send it to me.’"
Meanwhile, Channing previously admitted to learning on the job early in his career.
The actor made his film debut in the drama movie Coach Carter back in 2005 - but Channing thinks his acting skills have really developed in recent years.
Channing - who actually worked as a stripper and as a model before finding success in Hollywood - told Extra: "I was getting jobs before I knew what even acting was or how to do it.
"I was doing all, like, kinda on-the-job training in a way, just being like, 'Okay, just say the line naturally,' instead of actually understanding what acting is and what this, like, beautiful gift is."
Channing "learned so much" about acting from actually watching movies.
He said: "I was watching movies and I've learned so much from movies, more than I've learned from school or anything else or books or anything.
"Movies are probably my longest relationship in my life. I don't know, I just love them so much. They're magical."
