Channing Tatum said he wanted his wig in 'The Lost City' to look like Brad Pitt's hair in 'Legends of the Fall'

• Channing Tatum appeared on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" Thursday to promote his film "The Lost City."
• He said he wanted to look like his "The Lost City" co-star Brad Pitt in "Legends of the Fall."

Channing Tatum said he tried to channel Brad Pitt's look in "Legends of the Fall" for his character in "The Lost City," according to People. Pitt makes a cameo in the film which stars Tatum and Sandra Bullock.

Tatum appeared on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" on Thursday to speak about the comedy, in which he plays Alan Caprison/Dash McMahon, a cover model on a mission to save adventure novelist Loretta Sage, played by Bullock. Pitt plays former Navy SEAL and CIA operative Jack Trainer in the film, which was released in theaters on Friday.

"I actually gave the note — I have to wear a wig for my cover-model look, Dash's look, and I was like, 'I just want to look like 'Legends of the Fall' Brad Pitt," Tatum said, according to People.

Channing told DeGeneres that he wanted his wig to look "as close to" Pitt's real hair in the 1994 film as possible.

Tatum said he only met Pitt once before they worked together on "The Lost City" and that they had previously ridden motorcycles. He said that Pitt is "everything you want him to be."

"He's so funny in this," Tatum continued, according to People. "I think people just don't know how funny he is. I think he's done comedies, but nothing this broad."

Representatives for Tatum did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment. A representative for Pitt declined to comment.

The movie also features Daniel Radcliffe, Da'Vine Joy Randolph, Bowen Yang, Oscar Nuñez, and Patti Harrison. Forbes reports that "The Lost City" earned $11.5 million on Friday and is heading for a $30.5 million opening weekend. The PG-13 movie sits at 76% on Rotten Tomatoes and 86% on Audience Score at the time of publishing.
