Channing Tatum’s unusual phobia

GI Joe actor Channing Tatum has admitted he has a phobia of porcelain dolls because they’re eyes are “freaky”.

The actor admitted his unusual fear started after he saw a TV programme based on a possessed doll when he was younger.

Speaking on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, he explained: “I’m terrified of porcelain dolls. I just think they’re freaky. They have, like, real eyes. I just imagine when I walk by them, their heads turn with you the whole time.”

Despite his pleas to the contrary, the host then whipped out a doll from behind her chair and began taunting the 34-year-old hunk with the toy.

Channing then started to yell: “Stop! You are literally ruining my entire life.”

However, Ellen decided to take credit for beating Channing’s fear of dolls as she quipped: “See, it wasn’t that bad.”

The Step Up star also confessed that he would hate to sing in a film, as he isn’t comfortable with his voice. He told the audience: “Singing would be a huge fear in a movie. No, no, no. I’m not doing that I’m way too afraid.”
