They shared hugs and smiles backstage, reminiscing about their time together in the 2013 movie ‘White House Down’.

Joey expressed her excitement on Instagram, saying, “DREAM COME TRUE!!!!!! And I got to reunite with Channing. Tonight was amazing thank you @fallontonight.”

Joey also shared a funny memory from 2014 when she was just 14. In an interview with Cosmopolitan, she revealed how jealous her sisters were that she got to work with Channing on ‘White House Down’. She fondly remembered the screen test with Channing and how thrilled she was to get the role because she admired him so much.

She said, “When I found out that I got the job, I was overjoyed because not only did I get to work with Channing and get to have a great part, I also got to work with [director] Roland Emmerich, who is amazing. It was just an all-around incredible experience.”

During her appearance on ‘The Tonight Show’, Joey shared her admiration for her ‘A Family Affair’ co-stars Nicole Kidman and Zac Efron. She described them as “so hot” and “the fittest people I’ve ever met.” Joey, who grew up as a fan of Zac, recounted having his face on everything she owned and how gracious he was when they worked together.

Joey’s new movie ‘A Family Affair’ is now streaming on Netflix, and ‘Despicable Me 4’ is in theaters. Channing Tatum’s movie ‘Fly Me to the Moon’ is set to release on July 12.
