“I’m so grateful for my genetics,” the “Blink Twice” actor wrote. “Grateful for my chef/nutritionist/witch. Grateful for my trainer. I couldn’t make these big swings in my weight without you guys.

“But I won’t be doing anymore fat roles ha,” the 44-year-old said, adding that gaining weight for a role is too “hard on the body” now and too hard to take back off.

“But damn when I look at these pics it’s just wild what the human body and will can do,” he concluded.

In a 2022 interview with Kelly Clarkson, Tatum admitted he almost didn’t want to do a third “Magic Mike” film because of the gruelling fitness demands.

“Even if you do workout, to be that kind of in shape is not natural,” he told the talk show host. “I don’t know how people who work a 9 to 5 actually stay in shape, because it’s my full-time job and I can barely do it.”

The actor said at the time it used to be easier to fluctuate for roles, but “now I can’t get it off as easy.”

The actor’s post comes as romance rumours with model Inka Williams heat up. Picture: Instagram
