Channing Tatum has revealed the extreme lengths he's been to in order to avoid one very basic household chore - out of nothing but blind hatred.

The star of psychological thriller Blink Twice sat down with GQ to shed some light on what he's really like, away from all of the glitz and glam.

The film, released in UK cinemas on 23 August, was directed by his fiancée Zoe Kravitz, who he met on the set of the film.

And while it's easy to imagine that A-listers always have people running around washing their dishes for them at home while they put their feet up, it turns out this may not always be the case.

It would seem that in the past, Tatum has been left to do his own laundry - which he simply cannot stand.

The 44-year-old actor said: "I hate doing laundry. Like I hate it more than I could possibly say.”

He then went on to admit that rather than deal with washing his clothes, he'd just buy more for a full year.

He admitted this was in 1999 or 2000, 'the year of the white tee'.

He continued: “I don’t think I did laundry all year that year. I just wore white T-shirts that I just bought. I’d be like, ‘I can get, like, two wears out of this a week.'"

He went on to add further: "I always gravitated to just like a very simple, old, tattered white shirt. It’s just a classic thing.

"You can wear them in a disaster situation or you could wear them while you’re painting with your daughter in the backyard.

"They’re just sort of infallible in my opinion.”

He said that his go-to white shirt, then and now, is from Hanes, or a 'ribbed tank top'.

As part of the '10 Things I Can't Live Without' video, after a white t-shirt, he also included a deck of cards, a Polaroid camera, a lighter, a photo of his daughter Everly, art supplies and Mezcal.

In Blink Twice, Tatum portrays Slater King, a billionaire tech mogul who owns a private island.

He invites Frida (Naomi Ackie) and Jess (Alia Shawkat), two women who live regular lives, along for the trip of a lifetime.

There is more than meets the eye - and it's up to Frida and Jess to work it all out.

Of working with Tatum in the film, director and co-writer Kravitz told WSJ: "When you make things with people, it’s a very sacred space, and when you’re compatible with somebody creatively it often opens up other channels, because you’re kind of sharing all of yourself.

“I’m really grateful that this movie has brought him into my life that way.”
