Channing Tatum says 'Magic Mike XXL' stripper moves approved by wife Jenna Dewan-Tatum

Channing Tatum has to pass one important step before he shows off his stripper moves for millions on the big screen again in Magic Mike XXL: getting the approval from his wife, Jenna Dewan-Tatum.

Filming is now underway for the Magic Mike sequel and Tatum explained that the choreographers on the film are “really, really good friends” with his wife.

"So I work it out with them and then I go show Jenna for approval,” he told People.

He said of being comfortable with each other doing things like this on-screen for others to see, he said it’s nothing new. "She actually loves Magic Mike, believe it or not," he said. "It's an interesting thing that actors have to deal with. We're 10 years into it now, so it's kind of old hat – we've moved past it."

The reason she’s so supportive of it, has little to do with the theme of stripping but what it means to Tatum. The story is based on his own life as a stripper while living in Florida.

“It started off as a story that I really love, and it's grown into something that I love even more because it's a weird world that I experienced in my real life,” he said.

While Matthew McConaughey won’t be back, other new faces such as Donald Glover, Elizabeth Banks, Michael Strahan will be seen.
