Channing Tatum Will "Have That Conversation" With Daughter About His Stripper Past When She's Old Enough To Watch The Magic Mike Movies

Channing Tatum has a nine-year-old daughter, Everly, with ex-wife Jenna Dewan.

Channing Tatum will tell his daughter he was a stripper when she is "old enough."

The 42-year-old actor, who shares nine-year-old Everly with ex-wife Jenna Dewan, worked as a stripper before finding fame in Hollywood and went on to create the Magic Mike franchise which is loosely based on his early life.  

When asked by Entertainment Tonight when Tatum will reveal his stripper past to Everly, he said: "When she's old enough to watch them, we'll have that conversation. There's no version of me not having the conversation of 'Dad didn't just do them in movies, I was an actual stripper,' so I'm not gonna lie to her. "

Elsewhere, even though the latest chapter of the Magic Mike series is called Magic Mike's Last Dance, Tatum teased that it may not be the final instalment. 

"The story is just gonna keep going," he said. "I can't tell you there's gonna be another [film]."

Tatum was joined by co-star Salma Hayek, who noted that upon the last day of shooting, he went "crazy" after having to restrict his diet to appear in shape on screen.

She said: "I think that at some point he was like, 'Oh, I'm glad this is the last one 'cause I don't have to get into this shape again!'

"The day they said wrap, he went crazy! We're going to the wrap party in the cars and he [was in] the other car shoving the pizza [in his mouth], Like the Cookie Monster, but it was the Pizza Monster. He was so happy."

Magic Mike's Last Dance opens in cinemas on Feb 9.
