Hail Caesar Movie News: Channing Tatum Dyes Hair Blond To Play 1950s Actor
The new "Hail Caesar" movie is set to be released in February 2016 starring Channing Tatum and the actor has dyed his hair to play the part.
According to People, the star of "Magic Mike XXL" was spotted with a striking new hairdo on the movie set in Hollywood on December 5. Channing Tatum was seen with longer curly blond hair that goes down up to his eyebrows but the sides sport a darker hue.
The 34-year-old actor joins other male celebrities, who recently opted to go blond, namely Sean Penn and Justin Bieber.
The "Hail Caesar" movie is a drama set in the 1950s, based on a report by US Magazine. Joel Coen and Ethan Coen will direct the film, which focuses on a Hollywood fixer, Eddie Mannix, played by Josh Brolin, who attempts to keep studio stars in line. He then tries to discover the fate of a cast member, who mysteriously disappeared during filming.
Channing Tatum will be featured in the movie together with Scarlett Johansson, George Clooney, Tilda Swinton, Ralph Fiennes and Jonah Hill, with whom Tatum has previously worked with in the movie "22 Jump Street."
The "Hail Caesar" movie will see the Hollywood A-listers portray 1950s actors, who were performing a play about ancient Rome and which explains why Channing Tatum had to go blond. The movie will most likely have the actor wear white robe, laurels and sash of an ancient Roman.
Work on the project started in November 2014 in Los Angeles. The Coens will be producing the film under their very own Mike Zoss Productions together with Eric Fellner and Tim Bevan of Working Title Films. Universal Studios will be distributing the film.
Meanwhile, Variety reported that Channing Tatum will appear next in "Foxcatcher" by Sony Classics after working on "21 Jump Street" and "22 Jump Street."
Going blond for "Hail Caesar" movie is not the first time for ChanningTatum. He first sported a lighter hair color for "Jupiter Ascending," which was shot in August 2013 and is set for release on February 2015.
