Tatum, of the chiseled muscles from the “Magic Mike” male-stripper movies, would seem to be the favorite in such a competition, especially given that he’s 11 years younger than the 55-year-old “Unfrosted” star.

But Slater overcame his apparent underdog status when actor Levon Hawke proposed the fitness showdown among cast members while shooting the 2024 release “Blink Twice,” he said.

“We start doing it and everybody’s going and they’re just dropping like flies, one after the other,” Slater told “Tonight Show” host Jimmy Fallon. “It was like six guys, and then it was down to me and Channing. And he did 50 and that was it. And I went for 51.”

The “Heathers” actor shrugged to modestly indicate his victory, prompting a “that is how you do it!” from Fallon.

Fast-forward to 1:10 for the moment when Slater came on strong:

Slater has issued the brag before, telling People that he completed 52 pushups and reveled in the “wonderful feeling that I just kicked Magic Mike’s ass.”

Hey, if we beat Channing Tatum in a pushup contest, we’d gloat as well.

Actors aren’t the only ones who use pushups as a flex.
