We got along very well, but again, thst same thing, when you are famous, you can go for dinner on a date. How many dates have you been on where you've never seen them again? Right?

SB: (laugh)

JJ: But you got photographed, and you are both famous, and they put it on the Internet, and go "EXCLUSIVE!", then you are like, and that wasn't what happened, but you know we got seen and it kinda of propelled into something probably more than maybe it was. Also because of what was going on in his own life, and all those comparison (with Tatum's ex-wife Jenna Dewan). It was just, it was so many things that, (pause) I always say there was a lot of things that fame control that you can't control, and there are a lot of things in this life that we ask for, and there are some things that we don't, but happen anyway. And so that whole experience definitely made me go, "I just need more privacy".
