Actor Channing Tatum says performing with Beyonce on "Lip Sync Battle" was the "most terrifying" thing he'd ever done.
The 35-year-old hunk thrilled audiences and stunned wife Jenna Dewan Tatum - who he was competing against - when he was joined by the singing superstar for his "Run the World (Girls)" routine on 'Lip Sync Battle' but he originally only intended to just use a cardboard cut out of the "Crazy in Love" hitmaker, reported Femalefirst.
"I won't even tell you what I had to do to essentially get her assistant's phone number. I didn't even have the intention of her coming.
"I wanted to bring like a cardboard cutout of Beyonce out, just to be funny, and then ultimately I ended up having to meet Beyonce doing Beyonce and that was definitely the most terrifying thing I've ever done," Tatum said.
