Channing Tatumis keeping it real inMagic Mike 3.
TheDogactor/director appeared onJimmy Kimmel Live!Tuesday night, and at one point, he explained his history with rocking a shaved head. Host Kimmel then segued into asking Tatum about the upcoming thirdMagic Mike: “Speaking of hair removal, what aboutMagic Mike? Will you be waxing your body for that soon? Is that starting yet?”
“No,” Tatum said with a smile. “We are going to change with the times, and I am not gonna do the whole waxing thing. I think I’m just gonna go natural. Yeah.”
When Kimmel asked if the waxing trend is “out” now among male dancers, Tatum responded, “I think we’re gonna try to change it. I think we’re gonna just— it’s a new day. It’s a new day.”
“Is this just because you don’t wanna get waxed anymore?” the comedian asked. Tatum replied with a laugh, “Yep, pretty much. A little bit of hair is fine!”

Tatum added that he “wasn’t sure” if he wanted to do a third film in the series. But he had a few requirements to return: “I wanted to make the Super Bowl of stripper movies” with the “best dancers in the world going off.” And “secondly, I really wanted to have a really strong female central character.”
“There are no words for how excited I am to blow the doors off of the world ofMagic Mikewith Steven, Greg, Reid, and the amazing people at HBO Max,” Tatum said in a statement at the time. “The stripperverse will never be the same.”
