James Marsden in Magic Mike? Apparently, it almost happened.
During the Tuesday, Jan. 5 episode of The Late Late Show with James Corden, The Notebook star shared the real reason why he passed on the stripper-themed movie.
“I had fear I would be edited out of the movie,” the actor confessed. “Just all my lines would be cut out and I’d be an extra just rushing around in a g-string so I think it was a lack of courage on my part.”
He also noted that he still has friends and family who feel it was a good decision to not do the film because “they didn’t want to see me like that.” Hearing this, Marsden laughed and said, “I could have jumped in and had fun with that.” To which host James Corden let out a quick chuckle.
During the interview, the 47-year-old star also recalled moving to Austin, Texas at the beginning of the quarantine in March 2020 amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
