Channing Tatum: I Got Joe Manganiello as Naked as Possible

Channing Tatum's shown us a lot range recently with his role in Foxcatcher. We got to see the actor's dark and brooding side--which was great--but we also kind of miss his shirtless and pantless side. Thankfully Magic Mike XXL is on the horizon.

Tatum will be returning in the sequel to 2012's Magic Mike as will Joe Manganiello--who played Big Dick Richie in the original. "We got Joe Manganiello naked as much as possible," Tatum told Time. "Everyone in the world: you're welcome."

Tatum also promises that Magic MikeXXL, by all accounts somewhat of a road movie, will even more fun--and naked--than the original.

"One of our first stops is at a drag club on our odyssey. We call it a stripper odyssey because it's a traveling band of strippers. This movie is a lot more fun. In the first movie, we were obligated to show the underbelly -- the pitfalls and dangers of being in that world. In this one, we kicked off a lot of the darkness. We're going to have a lot of fun on the road together. Hopefully you're going to care about these guys, and then get to see a lot of ridiculous nakedness and stupidity."

Thanks, Chan.
