United Kingdom, Sept. 7 -- Channing Tatum was desperate for Kirsten Dunst to like him.

The Magic Mike actor has always been "obsessed" with the 43-year-old actress' career so he felt "intimidated" when they were cast together in new movie Roofman.

Explaining his favourite of his co-star's work is her 1994 movie Interview with the Vampire, Channing told People magazine: "I couldn't imagine doing what she did in that film at the age.

"Everything she's ever done, I've been obsessed with.

"I was so intimidated to work with her - and when I say intimidated, I was afraid. I just wanted her to like me.

"I was like, 'Please like me!' "
