Amanda Seyfried has recalled the time Channing Tatum had a bathroom faux pas while the two were filming romantic drama Dear John.

Speaking to Deadline, Seyfried, who most recently starred in drama-thriller The Housemaid, said that Tatum unintentionally peed on her leg in between takes on the 2010 film.

"He and I effed with each other the entire movie in a super, super fun way. He’s very, very funny, and we had a great time," she said about filming with Tatum.

"He peed on my leg once, without me knowing," she continued. "He peed on my leg on the beach, and I didn’t realize at first, and then I was like, 'Oh, that’s why he’s standing so close to me.'"

But Tatum intended to aim his stream at a coffee cup, although Seyfried didn't explain why the cup was his only option to relieve himself.

"There was a coffee cup very close by, and a little bit got in the coffee cup, and he ran away as I was screaming. One of the makeup artists picked it up and was about to drink it, and I saved her," Seyfried concluded.

Seyfried previously mentioned the experience in a game of word association with Buzzfeed in 2015 but told the outlet that she and Tatum were "still friends."

Seyfried isn't the first entertainer to have a funny but shocking experience with Tatum on set. Last October, Tatum recalled meeting his Roofman costar Peter Dinklage when he was "butt-naked."

"I literally shook his hand and I was just like, 'OK, you're going to get to know everything about me today. This is weird,'" Tatum said on Late Night With Seth Meyers.
