Is Channing Tatum too daring when filming his "Magic Mike XXL" scenes?

The actor candidly spoke about his wife, Jenna Dewan Tatum's involvement with the film. It seems she has to review if a certain dance move is okay or not!

"Our two choreographers on the movie, they're really, really good friends [with Jenna]," the actor told People Magazine at the New York City press conference for the animated film, "The Book of Life" where he voices the character of Joaquin.

"So I work it out with them and then I go show Jenna for approval," Tatum adds. It seems that Mrs. Tatum is one lucky woman.

Tatum and Dewan, 34 and 33 respectively, met on the set of "Step Up" in 2006. The two started dating after the film's production, and then tied the knot after three years of being together. They welcomed a daughter, Everly, in 2013.

The two are very involved in each other's projects. Although the actor admits that he "still doesn't like seeing her kiss other people," they both understand that is an actor's job to do so.

Dewan-Tatum, who currently stars in Lifetime's adaptation of the young-adult novel, "Witches of East End," even said that "she actually loves 'Magic Mike.'"

"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," Tatum shared.

Dewan-Tatum also appreciated "Magic Mike" because she knows the movies are close to her husband's heart.

"If I was just doing some movie about strippers, then she'd probably be like, 'Why do you want to do that?' But 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," the actor who used to strip to earn money, said.

"It's part of my life. And she understands that," he adds.
