As if him starring in yet another "Magic Mike" film is not enough, Channing Tatum is making headlines once again because of what he teased about the stripper movie.

"This is the Super Bowl version of what the first one was," the "Book of Life" actor said about his upcoming movie, "Magic Mike XXL."

"I'm dancing probably five times as much in this one," the 34-year-old actor said.

While we are no strangers to the actor's charm on the dance floor, especially since we saw how good he was in "Step Up," this is still big news because it is such a delight to watch Tatum move.

Tatum was asked in an interview if ever he sought for choreography advice from his wife, Jenna Dewan Tatum. The actress, who portrays Freya Beauchamp in "Witches of East End", and who also co-starred with Tatum on "Step Up" has danced for the likes of Janet Jackson and 'N Sync.

"I do show her [my moves], but I don't love dancing in front of her, because she's such an amazing dancer," he said.

In a recent interview, the actor also opened up about how he let his wife get involved with the film by asking her which moves he should and should not include in the choreography of his stripteases.

"Our two choreographers on the movie, they're really, really good friends [with Jenna]. So I work it out with them and then I go show Jenna for approval," the actor said.

The two have known each other since they met on the set of "Step Up" in 2006. They married in 2009 and welcomed their first child -- a daughter named Everly in May 2013.

"Fatherhood... it teaches you a lot," the actor said about what it's like being a father.

"Talking about mortality... I have never been afraid to fly on a plane in my whole life, and now, getting on a plane is a big deal. Things matter. As soon as Jenna got pregnant, everything sort of changed," he said.
