The segment began with Tatum giving Ashby high fives and sticking his tongue out at him, before Ashby showcased his nonchalant ball skills. Tatum even lifted up the toddler to help him with a slam dunk.

However, things got competitive when Tatum was challenged to score more points than Ashby in 45 seconds. While Tatum and the show's presenter managed just five baskets between them, Ashby hit his stride after a shaky start and ended up notching 14.

There were no hard feelings, as Tatum lifted up his rival and pointed to him in admiration.

He also explained his less than impressive score by saying: "I'm an actor."
