“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.
