‘Magic Mike 3’ returns with Channing Tatum, though he didn’t quite like it: ‘I had to starve myself’ | film

Tatum has almost made his tight tummy his trademark. But for the third and final film of the Stripper trilogy, he has to put up with a very grueling fitness regimen. Tell more about this on ‘The Kelly Clarkson Show’. He shared how he was initially reluctant to reprise his role as stripper Mike Lane for the latter film, given the strict diet he has to follow.

The actor told Clarkson that he didn’t want to do a third movie at first because he felt his body wasn’t quite right. “It’s hard, even when you’re training, to be in such good shape,” he said. “You have to starve yourself,” he said. “I don’t think being skinny is actually healthy for you,” he said. Tatum admitted that training for the role took a lot of his time and that it’s harder for him to lose weight now than it was when he was younger. However, he’s open to making another “Magic Mike” movie when he’s old: “When we’re 70, I want to bring the team back together and make an old man’s version,” he laughed.
