Hollywood heartthrob Channing Tatum is getting candid about navigating the entertainment industry.
The "Fly Me to the Moon" star said it feels like actors are “incentivised” to appear in subpar productions for money rather than take a big swing on something “really, really good.”
He said the current state of the industry is "a confused pipeline of possibilities" due to streaming platforms.
Tatum, who is currently promoting his upcoming film "Roofman", was speaking during a chat show.
The "Coach Carter" actor said, "I think, now, when you get asked to do a movie, or you’re trying to get a movie made, it’s a very confused pipeline of possibilities."

He added, "It really feels like, at times, that you’re incentivised to make bad things to get paid, rather than make something really, really good, for the fucking people that actually get to see these things and (for the type of) people that I want to see these movies, the person that I was when I was a kid. And I want good movies."
Tatum concluded, "I’m like, ‘Man, I want to give my money to the good movies.’ It’s such an upside-down moment, but I do believe that the disruption is going to lead to something good. I do believe that. I do believe the streamers came in for a reason, and it had to change. It had to morph."
Also starring Kirsten Dunst, "Roofman" is directed by Derek Cianfrance. It is set to release in theatres on October 17.
