BEFORE the release of 21 Jump Street on March 16, 2012, Jonah Hill made a very rude bet with friend and co-star Channing Tatum.
Hill said that he would “kiss” Tatum on the “tip” of his penis if the comedy grossed more than $35 million during it’s opening weekend. The final opening weekend tally was $36.3 million, but Hill has yet to make good on his promise.
“I haven’t made him do it yet,” Tatum told GQ in a new interview with the magazine.

But definitely the shame of it would be enjoyable. It’s my trump card, for sure. He tries not to bring it up at all costs. Unless he did something horrible to me, I don’t know if I could ever cash it in. It would change our relationship forever.”
Indeed, the proposition could also change Tatum’s relationship with his wife, Jenna Dewan-Tatum. “I’d have to clear it with Jenna,” Hill said.
“There’s all sorts of loopholes that have to be taken into consideration.”
Hill didn’t really comment on the bet to GQ, but did offer this explanation for its existence. “Channing and I say a lot of stupid stuff when we drink together,” he said.
Whether the pair will make a similar wager before the debut of 22 Jump Street is unclear. The sequel is out on June 5 in Australia.
