Tatum says earned his place as an actor after ‘Roofman'

Channing Tatum says his performance in “Roofman,” which tells the true story of a man who robbed dozens of McDonald’s and hid out in a toy store, helped the stripper-turned-actor overcome "imposter syndrome.”

“I was getting (acting) jobs before I knew anything of what I was doing,” Tatum told reporters a day after the film’s world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival.

“I think I’ve struggled with imposter syndrome,” added the 45-year-old actor, who worked as a stripper before being hired for fashion modeling, which ultimately led to acting. “For the very first time, maybe even on this movie, I feel like I’ve actually earned my seat at the table.”
