The Magic Mike alum and his fiancée Zo? Kravitz confessed that while filming their new movie, Blink Twice, in Mexico, Channing spent 12 hours in the bathroom after he and costar Simon Rex swallowed too much pool water during a party.
“Remember we had that party, Chan, and you and Simon were both wrestling in the pool," Zo? recalled in a Buzzfeed video published Aug. 23, “and then you guys swallowed pool water but we are in Mexico, and you were puking?”
Channing, 44, didn't deny the Batman actress' account, admitting that he was throwing up "for 12 hours"—a possible symptom of dysentery, which can occur after "eating food or water that is contaminated with bacteria or viruses," according to University of Indiana.
"I couldn't leave the bathroom," he continued. “The doctor had to come and give me a shot in the butt to make it all OK.”
But the couple—who confirmed their engagement in 2023 after two years of dating—have certainly learned to laugh about the whole situation, with Zo?, 35, quipping, "It was a sick party."

And those aren't the only behind-the-scenes details that have been revealed about Blink Twice, which was directed and co-written by Zo? and stars Channing, Naomi Ackie, Christian Slater, Haley Joel Osment and Levon Hawke.
In fact, Levon—who plays Lucas in the film—previously detailed what the High Fidelity alum and Step Up actor's on-set dynamic was like during production.
"Every second after every take, they'd meet up after and have a little head-to-head about how it was going," the 22-year-old told E! News in August. "And they're on the same page constantly and when they weren't, it was only ever to build the story."
Noting that Zo? and Channing always "listened to each other and learned and grew together" throughout the process, he went on to explain why their interactions wound up being "deeply inspiring" for him.
"It felt both special just to be there working on it," Levon said, "and also, just to see people so in love, working so hard together."
He added, "I didn't really think it could be done, and I was so happy it could."
