Los Angeles - Channing Tatum wrote "threatening" emails daily for a month to land his role in The Hateful Eight.
The 35-year-old Hollywood hunk was so desperate to have a part in Quentin Tarantino's eighth movie, he did everything he could to ensure other actors didn't land the role.
He explained: "I basically sent about an email a day for about a month just threatening any other actors that might be up for the role. I was just praying that no one really tough was up for the role."
