It’s well-known that many celebs like to maintain a “finsta” account, which allows them to post on social media without the world seeing it.
But what happens when an A-lister gets caught in the act on their burner page?
Well, that’s what some people thought was going on over the weekend, when it appeared that Channing Tatum’s alternative account had been exposed.
An anonymous account named Nonya Bidness became the subject of much speculation on social media in recent days, as people began to wonder if it was actually the Magic Mike star incognito.
Fuelling the rumour mill was the fact that the page in question appeared to have been commenting on a number of Channing-related goings-on – in particular relating to his ex, Zoe Kravitz, and her subsequent relationship with Harry Styles – with the US actor notably being the only person to follow the account.
However, it seems that this is a case of not believing everything you read on social media.
While the account itself has ruled out the suggestion that it is secretly Channing Tatum (telling those who believe otherwise to “go read a book” before disappearing from the internet completely), Metro has also reported that the account is not the 21 Jump Street actor, nor is it associated with him in any way.
One potential explanation that’s been put forward is that Channing hit “follow” on what he thought was a fan page devoted to him and his work, which he’s previously been known to do, only for the owner of the account to then change its name and get a bit busy in the comments of other people’s posts.
HuffPost UK has also contacted Channing Tatum’s team for comment.
Channing is currently gearing up for the release of his new movie Josephine, in which he and Gemma Chan play the parents of a young girl whose life is drastically changed when she witnesses an assault in Central Park.
Later this year, he’s also expected to reprise his role as Gambit – a role he finally originated in the comedic superhero outing Deadpool & Wolverine after years of rumours – in the Avengers movie Doomsday, which will bring together a host of big names from across the MCU and beyond.
