Details presents its most attention-grabbing lede of the year:
"Channing Tatum's penis is gross. It looks like a hot dog that's been left too long on the grill. The tip is hot-pink, singed, and shriveled. It appears angry. And it's painful to view. My penis hurts just from looking at it. Movie stars tend to be vain, by nature and profession, but Chan—that's what everyone calls him—does not mind one bit showing me his sad, withered wiener. 'It was the most painful thing I have ever experienced in my life,' he says, flipping through photos on his iPhone until he lands on a grainy snapshot of a scorched member. His scorched member. 'I'm good . . . now,' he says with a grin. 'Now my penis is fantastic! One hundred percent recovered. Put me back in the game, Coach.'"
Tatum was describing an accident that happened on the set of his recent movie in Scotland, The Eagle of the Ninth (I featured some shots from it here) in which scalding water was poured down the inside of his wetsuit.
"The only way to keep warm was by pouring a mix of boiling water and
river water down your suit. We were finally done shooting for the day,
and one of the crew guys asks if I want to warm up before I go. I'm
like, Nah, I'm good. And then I thought, Why not? Thing is, he'd
forgotten to dilute the kettle water. So he poured scalding water down
my suit. And I was trying to pull the suit away from my body to somehow
get away from the boiling water, and the more I pulled the suit away,
the lower the water went. It just went straight down and pretty much
burned the skin off the head of my dick."
