Channing Tatum Tells His Wife to Stop Waxing
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Features,
The 32-year-old actor underwent an intensive beauty and grooming regime for his role as stripper Michael Lane in his new film Magic Mike, and he has given his wife Jenna Dewan permission to stop waxing her legs after undergoing the painful hair removal procedure himself.
"I didn't want to shave because I just wanted to do it once. That was a big mistake, I will never do it (wax) again! I don't know how women do it. I did have a huge amount of compassion, but after I told my wife that she doesn't have to do it anymore, she still does it - so I have zero compassion! I said let everything go, no one needs to go through that."
The film - which also stars Matthew McConaughey, Alex Pettyfer and Joe Manganiello - is based on Channing's own experience of stripping when he was 19 and short of cash. The Hollywood heartthrob recounted how his most embarrassing moment on stage was the first night he ever performed one of his saucy routines, when he realized his sister Paige was in the audience:

Matthew McConaughey: Stripping is a ‘Drug’

Matthew McConaughey says stripping is like "a drug."
The 42-year-old actor was told by director Steven Soderbergh that he didn't have to bare all in new movie Magic Mike - in which he plays former stripper Dallas - but knew he would regret it if he didn't flash his flesh, and was surprised by how much he enjoyed the experience.
"It wasn't in the script, but Soderbergh said in the beginning that if it felt right, I could strip at the end of the movie. I said, 'I gotta dance, man.' I would regret it for the rest of my life if I was in a male stripper movie and didn't get up there and strip myself. At first it was scary as hell, but then it became like a drug, and I couldn't wait to do it again. Look, I love to dance, but I've never been a stripper. Channing [Tatum]'s one of the best hip-hop street dancers I've ever seen, and I didn't want to challenge his style, so I worked on my own strengths. I also knew that my dance had to be the dirtiest. It had to be wonderfully filthy," he admitted.
