Channing Tatum gives surprise lapdance at ‘Magic Mike XXL’ screening
By Will Stroude
A group of moviegoers got more than they bargained for at a recent promotional screening of Magic Mike XXL, when Channing Tatum treated them to the real-life experience.
In a new prank video, a test audience are asked by a creepy marketing exec about their hopes for the film, unaware that it’s the 35-year-old star in disguise.
The cinema is soon overrun by a male stripping troupe, who break into a rather intimate routine before the marketing guy is invited to join them – grinding on at least one lucky lady before finally revealing his true identity to the shell-shocked/blessed group.
Yes lady, we feel you.
Magic Mike XXL is set three years after the first film and finds the original male stripping troupe preparing to bow out of the erotic dancing game with one last “blow-out performance”.
Matt Bomer Joe Manganiello, Adam Rodriguez and Gabriel Iglesias will all return for the sequel, alongside Tatum. They will be joined by new additions Elizabeth Banks, Donald Glover, Amber Heard, Jada Pinkett Smith, Andie MacDowell and Michael Strahan.
Meanwhile, we recently celebrated Magic Mike star Alex Pettyfer’s birthday with a picture special of the hunky actor – check him out here.
Magic Mike XXL opens on July 31 in the UK.
