Channing Tatum 'caught up in bar fight'

Channing Tatum has allegedly been caught up in an early-morning bar brawl in Chicago.

The Dear John actor had to be escorted away by security after police arrived to break up a "big fight" at around 1am on Saturday.

Sources claim that Tatum was not directly involved in the altercation and multiple witnesses have reportedly said the same.

However, TMZ claims that "a flurry of tweets" from patrons have suggested otherwise.

Tatum is currently filming stripper movie Magic Mike, which is based around his life as an exotic dancer.

The Steven Soderbergh-directed film also stars Alex Pettyfer, Matthew McConaughey, Joe Manganiello and Olivia Munn.
