Looking good: Channing Tatum appeared to have won back his lean physique at the London premiere of new movie The Eagle last night, compared to his heavier frame earlier this year, right
Channing Tatum was back to his buff best on the red carpet last night for the UK premiere of his new movie The Eagle in London's Leicester Square.
The former fashion model and stripper had been looking distinctly chunky of late, but appeared to have been bashing the gym ready to look svelte again to promote the Roman romp alongside co-star Jamie Bell.
The movie also stars film legend Donald Sutherland, Sherlock Holmes baddie Mark Strong and former Fast Show star Simon Day.

Talking on Daybreak this morning, he revealed that filming the movie in Scotland was one of the coldest experiences of his life.
The Hollywood star told hosts Adrian Chiles and Grainne Seoige: 'Scotland was beautiful but I don’t think I’ll be going back in November anytime soon – it is by far one of the coldest places I’ve ever been.'
However, he admitted that the friendly locals and local hooch helped him through the bitter weather. He said: 'The people were amazing…and they have great whisky up there as well.'

Channing though laughed off suggestions that his new film is a cross between The Gladiator and Brokeback Mountain.
He said: 'That makes sense that they would say that, but there is no bromance on that level. But it’s really like a western – it’s two guys going into the unknown who really are enemies in a way and they learn to see themselves through each other’s eyes.'
