Christian Slater remains proud of the way he was able to one-up Channing Tatum.

The actor, 55, recently spoke to PEOPLE for its One Last Thing page, where he opened up about beating Tatum, 44, in a push-up contest while filming their new movie, Blink Twice.

"I think I did, like, 52 [push-ups] at that time," Slater said. "I could have kept going, but I didn't want to embarrass everyone."

Further detailing that he was able to complete the feat "all in one shot," the father of four teased that the prize he won was an "ego boost, really."

Blink Twice, formerly titled Pussy Island, stars Tatum as a mysterious tech-mogul billionaire and Naomi Ackie as a cocktail waitress named Frida who “becomes infatuated” with Tatum’s character, per a synopsis, which causes her to travel "with him to his private island, where things begin to go wrong."

The cast, in addition to Tatum, Slater and Ackie, 31, includes Geena Davis, Simon Rex, Adria Arjona, Haley Joel Osment, Alia Shawkat and Kyle MacLachlan.

Zoë Kravitz, Tatum's fiancée, steps behind the camera as the director, co-writer (with E.T. Feigenbaum) and producer of the thriller.

She and Tatum met for the first time while making the movie and began stepping out together publicly in 2021. PEOPLE confirmed their engagement in October 2023, after Kravitz, 35, was seen wearing an engagement ring at a Halloween party.

Blink Twice is currently playing in theaters.
