While promoting his upcoming film, Roofman, actor and producer Channing Tatum finally revealed the truth behind Vanderpump Rules star Jax Taylor’s claims of them being roommates. Over the years, Taylor, on multiple occasions, has stated that the two used to be roommates in New York City. However, Tatum seems to remember his younger days quite differently.
Channing Tatum says he and Jax Taylor weren’t roommates despite reality star’s claims
Recently, the 45-year-old actor, along with his Roofman co-star Kirsten Dunst and director Derek Cianfrance, appeared on a podcast.
On an episode of Andy Cohen Live, Channing Tatum set the record straight about Jax Taylor’s roommate claims. He said, “Absolutely not. I don’t think I ever roommated with him.” He then got into the details of the living conditions for New York City models in the 2000s. “They’ll throw you in a model house that has just like a bed,” Tatum said. “I got kicked out of my first model house. I got in a fight with one of the guys.”
Meanwhile, in May 2023, in an interview with Rolling Stone, Taylor elaborated on how he remembers his early days. “I started modeling in Miami and went to New York,” he said. “This was around 2002, and those agencies had apartments for models that were coming into town. They’re basically like dorm rooms with bunk beds. A tiny room with bunk beds and a bathroom. Channing was one of six guys in our room.”
Therefore, as per the Magic Mike star’s recent confirmation, Jax Taylor seems to have been mistaken. However, the Vanderpump Rules star also mentioned a commercial that Channing Tatum did, and was factually right about it. After describing their living situation, he added, “Now, he got famous real quick. He did this Mountain Dew commercial where he flipped a car, and once he got that job, he took off.”
Thus, while the truth behind Channing Tatum and Jax Taylor being roommates might still feel like a mystery, the 21 Jump Street actor sounded pretty confident while denying the fact to be true.
