WENN

Channing Tatum has said that he would like to achieve the same level of success as fellow action star Jason Statham.

The G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra actor told Metro that he can only aspire to Statham's accomplishments at present.

Tatum said: "'Look, he's done some really cool, really, really great work. I don't know if I can compare, you know? I only hope that I can be up to where he is one day."

Regarding action superstar Bruce Willis, he added: "Bruce Willis? Hey, he's the man! But I think those times are gone. Film's changing.

"I can't do the same career path as the guys who came before me. Nowadays there's either gonna be really small films or really huge tent-pole movies like GI Joe, with very few pictures inbetween."
