James Marsden Turned Down 'Magic Mike' Role Over This Fear

James Marsden revealed in an interview with James Corden that he had turned down a role in Channing Tatum‘s famous movie Magic Mike.

“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 added that some of his friends and family, “they didn’t want to see me like that. I could have jumped in and had fun with that.”
