Hollywood actor Channing Tatum has described the real-life Roofman robber Jeffrey Manchester as a “warm and optimistic” person at the premiere of his new film inspired by his life.
Roofman tells the true story of former United States Army Reserve officer Manchester (Tatum), who turned to crime and earned his nickname by drilling through roofs of branches of McDonald’s at night so he could wait inside until morning and surprise staff to steal the takings.
