Channing Tatum: ‘I’ll always get naked in my films’

Channing Tatum will never stop stripping off on screen.

The 35-year-old actor shot to fame thanks to role in films such as Magic Mike, in which he plays a male exotic dancer.

Due to his role choices, Channing has developed something of a reputation for himself for appearing in a certain type of film.
However, he insisted in a new interview that he will never stop shedding his clothes because his acting skills aren’t good enough for him not to.

“Honestly, I am not that good enough an actor that I can never take my shirt off again in a movie, so yes, I will be working out again,” Channing told Britain’s Daily Mirror newspaper.

"Believe me, I'd like to be. And I really have to always keep on top of it.”

Channing is father to daughter Everly with wife Jenna Dewan-Tatum. And while he is being pulled in all directions with personal and professional commitments, he has to make his workout regime top of his priority list.

His dedication to exercise comes due to the fact that he has always struggled to maintain his muscular physique.
“I have a fat kid inside of me,” Channing joked. “Thank God I liked sports. I like to eat.

"I like beer and pizza and fries and burgers and just losing myself in that. Cheetos. A big bag of Cheetos, oh man... I'm done.

"I was this really skinny little kid but you reach that age where it creeps up really fast.”
One of Channing’s upcoming movie roles is the highly anticipated Gambit, in which he reprises his role as the titular superhero.

The character stems from the X-Men comics and it was recently claimed that Channing’s film could be the first in a series of movies about the hero – in a similar vein to Hugh Jackman and his Wolverine films.
