Channing Tatum was too "intense" for his wife to be around when he was filming 'Foxcatcher'.
The 34-year-old actor had gotten so deeply into the character of wrestler Mark Schultz when Jenna Dewan-Tatum - with whom he has 17-month-old daughter Everly - visited him in Pennsylvania that she cut her trip much shorter than planned.
Jenna, 33, admitted: "I was pregnant, so I came already hormonal.
"It was so interesting because he was so in character, channelling this sort of intense dark character that I was like - and it was winter - I'm going to go back to California!"
Channing admitted it was hard to shake off his alter ego at the end of a day's filming with director Bennett Miller.
He said: "Bennett creates an environment that you can't shake off at the end of the day. And, you know, you try to come home and make her laugh, [but ] I just couldn't do it. I tried."
However, the 'Magic Mike' actor also admitted he felt his wife's pregnancy made her more sensitive to the situation than she otherwise would have been.
He laughed:"And pregnant women - if you don't know - are very emotional as it is."

Chris Martin listens to "a lot of Katy Perry".
The Coldplay frontman loves to put on some of the 30-year-old singer's hits of an evening, and admits after listening to many of 'Firework' hitmaker's tracks he thinks her music sounds a lot like grunge outfit Nirvana.
Speaking about the creative process behind Coldplay's hit 'A Sky Full of Stars', he said: "I'll tell you the truth, I was listening to a lot of Katy Perry.
"A lot of her songs have the same chord sequence the whole time ... and then I realised a lot of other people have done that, Nirvana being a classic example, with 'Smells Like Teen Spirit'."
While Chris' lyrics are often the subject of plenty of praise, the 37-year-old star insists he doesn't think much of his own song words.
Speaking in 'Beat x Beat' video, which can be seen on the official Beats by Dre You Tube channel, he added: "I'm not the most poetic of lyricists, but I know what feels right."
Chris admitted 'A Sky Full of Stars' was inspired by him also listening to a lot of electronic dance music and he was glad to get some help from Swedish DJ Avicii.
He said: "I asked Avicci for help and he said 'yeah', with his backwards cap, and said, 'That'll be $12 million' ... no he didn't."

Benedict Cumberbatch enjoyed a joke about Kim Kardashian West's butt with Jimmy Fallon on Monday (17.11.14).
The 38-year-old actor was reduced to a giggling mess as he joined the talk show host in a game of 'Three-Word Stories' on 'The Tonight Show'.
Benedict - who recently got engaged to his long-term girlfriend Sophie Hunter, 36, - could barely hold himself together as he tried to get Jimmy to say the word "booty".
The game - which involves a mystery word with the first player having to use three words to guide the second player to say the mysterious phrase - started off nicely as Jimmy got Benedict to say the word "unicorn".
However, when the time came for Benedict to get Jimmy to say "booty", things turned silly.
The 'Imitation Game' star kicked things off by saying: "You've got to shake..."
To which Jimmy replied: "Shake it off."
Benedict then said: "A beautiful big..."
Prompting Jimmy to quip: "Kim Kardashian's butt!"
Despite all the laughter, Benedict persevered by adding: "Makes lots of..."
As Jimmy joked: "Money for Kanye."
After the giggling about Kim's impressive posterior died down, Benedict went on to discuss his infamous photobomb moment with U2 at the 86th annual Academy Awards in March, revealing it was inspired by one of his close friends.
He said: "I've got a friend Helen who is a huge, life-long fan (of U2), I mean as am I am, but she's like, 'Oh my God they really are [the] soundtrack of my life, please, please, get a photo with them. And I thought, 'Perfect moment for it.' "

Hulk Hogan wants a role in 'The Expendables 4'.
Rumours have been rife that the WWE legend is being lined-up by creator Sylvester Stallone for a part in the next instalment in the action franchise - which also stars Jason Statham and Dolph Lundgren.
Hulk is yet to hear anything directly from his friend - whom he starred with in 'Rocky III' - but he is definitely interested in starring in the mercenary movie.
He told BANG Showbiz: "I've heard that I'm going to be in every 'Expendables' film, from the first one up until now. Stallone makes all the decisions and it's up to him but it would be great to be in 'The Expendables', that would be a lot of fun, especially working with Stallone."
One film the former multi-time world champion will definitely be appearing in is the new WWE Scooby-Doo movie.
WWE Studios and Warner Bros. have decided to team up again for an animated crossover following the success of this year's 'Scooby-Doo! WrestleMania Mystery' and Hulk will be one of the main characters.
He revealed: "From what I've heard I am the star of the new Scooby-Doo movie, so I'm very excited."
The 61-year-old legend has appeared in several films during his career, including 'Suburban Commando' and 'Mr. Nanny', but he says he's more interested in now than he used to be because he's no longer as full-time competitor.
Hulk and the other WWE Superstars are starting to get ready for 'WrestleMania XXXI', which takes place at Levi's Stadium in San Francisco Bay on Sunday, March 29, 2015
The iconic star has revealed the atmosphere gets a lot more intense as the showpiece event approaches.
Hulk - who has headlined the show on eight occasions - said: "Look, everybody turns the dial up, it gets more intense the closer we get to 'WrestleMania', it's no different to the old days as far as that aspect goes. The whole world is going to be watching and 'WrestleMania' can change the whole match of their whole career, a good match at 'WrestleMania' can put them at the top of the food chain. So everybody is at the very top of their game."
Tickets for 'WrestleMania XXXI' are on sale at Ticketmaster.com now.
