The film industry can bring exceptionally unique things to the table like odd pairings that many would never anticipate. In the film This Is The End, fans got to see Emma Watson and Channing Tatum appear in the same film. Watson, who rose to fame in the Harry Potter series, and Tatum, who has been an action and comedy star, are not a typical Hollywood pairing. While they have changed a lot and have made tons of money, their paths seemed destined to never cross.

While filming together, something went down between the pair on set, which led to Watson storming off and refusing to shoot a scene with Tatum. The pair have undoubtedly seen a lot over the years, so Watson’s decision to bolt off set was one that came as quite a shock to all who were there.

So, what exactly happened? Let’s dive in and see!

The Scene In Question

To get a clear picture of everything that took place, we need to go back and examine the movie itself and the scene in question. This will bring us back to 2013 when This Is The End was Seth Rogen’s latest flick.

When it was released, This Is The End became a financial success, and it wound up getting a lot of love from comedy fans. Sure, this was not a movie that was going to contend for Best Picture, but it was a fun and silly picture meant for a specific audience.

One of the most interesting aspects of the film was that it was loaded with stars playing themselves, and there was one huge name after the next in the movie. For some perspective, everyone from Rihanna to Paul Rudd appeared in this movie. Among the other notable names were both Emma Watson and Channing Tatum.

While neither of them were lead characters, they both still had interesting parts in the film. Now, most people have noticed that their paths don’t cross in the film, but the truth is that they were supposed to.

In the scene where Channing Tatum is first revealed to the audience with Danny McBride, Emma Watson was originally written to appear in that scene. Turns out, some events would take place on the night of filming that would completely change things. This came courtesy of Channing Tatum himself going a bit over the top with his performance.

What Tatum Did to Freak Out Watson

Now that the scene has been set, we need to dig into exactly what happened between Channing Tatum and Emma Watson. The pair weren’t going to interact, but apparently, Channing took things a little too far with his performance.

It’s important to keep in mind that this movie hinges on being ridiculous and over the top, so it makes sense that Tatum would be a little extra when getting down in front of the camera. So, while sporting a thong, Tatum went ahead and tapped into his stripper background to really liven things up.

This, according to reports, was far too much for Emma Watson to handle, and she would eventually storm off set. Tatum was just doing his part for the film, and even though she was not doing anything in particular, everything going on around her was far too much to deal with at that particular time.

That same report says that they tried to rope her back in to finish the scene, and while it worked for a brief time, she wound up throwing in the towel completely and walking away from the project. Thankfully, there was footage that they could use of her from scenes earlier in the film.

It’s not often that stories like this emerge, but this was a unique case. Needless to say, the cast certainly had something to say about this.

The Cast Sheds Some Light On The Situation

After a big name like Emma Watson storms off of a project, it makes sense that other people who were involved would open up and shed some light on what happened.

When speaking with Interview, James Franco would try and reveal some details without actually naming Watson.

He would say, “So a funny thing happened on this movie I’m doing … The movie is a comedy, but it’s kind of an outrageous one, and this actress — I won’t say who, but she had a smaller role in the film — walked off the movie in the middle of a scene.”

Franco would later add, “She, by the way, didn’t have to do anything crazy in the scene. But what was going on around her was, I guess, too extreme for her.”

This lines up with what reports had come out with earlier, giving some validity to the person who leaked the information. The movie still got the job done and became a hit, but we have to wonder if Watson and Tatum will ever appear in another film together in the future.
