Drake impersonator and part-time celebrity penis judge Seth Rogen read the raunchy email it took for him to get Channing Tatum to appear as a sex slave in the hilarious This Is The End.
After judging Justin Bieber and Orlando Bloom's "sausages" with Andy Cohen on Watch What Happens Live!, Rogen appeared on Cohen's SiriusXM show Monday. Cohen revealed This Is The End was one of his favorite Rogen-related projects, specifically mentioning Tatum's surprise cameo. Naturally, Cohen asked how that happened.
Rogen, after letting out his signature laugh, looked for the email where he asked Tatum to do the movie. In the 2012 missive, Rogen went into explicit detail about his idea for Tatum to appear as himself—or as Danny McBride’s character affectionately calls him, "Channing Tat-yum."
"We have a very special role that we would like you to play," Rogen said, reading the email. "The Gimp is wearing a wrestling mask, and when he pulls it up we would love nothing more than for it to be you underneath. I know this is crazy, but we really think it will get a massive laugh."
According to Rogen, Tatum answered three hours later:
"One, what the f***? Two, that's the craziest s**t I've ever heard. Three, when and where do I show up? All I've ever wanted was to be Danny's slut. Is that weird? Don't tell him or I'll be embarrassed."
Asked about the cameo in 2014, Tatum told Conan O'Brien, "I think I must have been on Ambien and drunk, and I was just like, 'Yeah, I'll do it, no problem,' and then ultimately had to actually go and do it. That was a terrible idea, probably."
We're pretty sure audiences disagreed. Speaking of not-at-all terrible ideas, Rogen also revealed that the now-infamous jock strap was Tatum's idea. You can listen to Rogen tell the full story below, and relive the absurdity of Tatum's cameo here.
