There’s one thing about getting ready to film “Magic Mike” Channing Tatum has not missed. The actor chatted to Kelly Clarkson on her show Wednesday, and the host was quick to mention the upcoming third flick.

Tatum admitted of getting into shape for the film, “It’s hard… Even if you do work out, to be in that kind of shape? It’s not natural.” “Do you have to eat really well?” Clarkson asked, to which Tatum replied: “Well is not even – that’s not even healthy.

You have to starve yourself. I don’t think when you’re that lean it’s actually healthy for you.” Clarkson then joked, “See! Health is dangerous,” as Tatum said: “New public service announcement folks, health is not good for you!” READ MORE: Channing Tatum Tells Jonah Hill He Was ‘Afraid’ To Be A Single Dad: ‘I Didn’t Know If I Was Going To Be Able To Meet Her On Her Level’ As “The Voice” coach asked if it was really “that kind of hell,” Tatum insisted: “Truly I don’t know how people that work a nine to five actually stay in shape because it’s my full time job and I can barely do it. “But you workout twice a day, you have to eat completely right at a certain time.
