Channing Tatum fears he could be left permanently disfigured after suffering further ear troubles stemming from injuries he sustained on the set of Foxcatcher.

The Magic Mike star suffered a burst eardrum while working on the wrestling movie when fellow actor Mark Ruffalo slapped him hard during a key scene, and he has now revealed it was just one of many injuries he sustained during the shoot.

Tatum fears he may now have the start of a 'cauliflower ear', a deformation caused by a blow or blood clot.

He tells Britain's Notebook magazine, "I don't think the hard hits will ever leave my body... This (shoot) was suffocating and painful... My knees will probably never be the same again, my neck will probably never go back to its original size and I think I have the starter kits of a cauliflower ear."
