You don't need to naked and... look like a Chinese Crested hairless cat or something to be sexy anymore," Tatum said. "That's kind of a thing of the old." The former stripper told PEOPLE last month that he plans to make "the Super Bowl of stripping" with Magic Mike's Last Dance, which he announced in November will premiere on HBO Max.

I'm so sore right now because I [have been] in [choreographer Alison Faulk's] garage with a Dexter-type situation that you guys will all know about eventually, when the movie's out. You'll know why it looked like Dexter in her garage." The first Magic Mike premiered in 2012, loosely based on Tatum's own experience as an 18-year-old stripper in Tampa, Florida. The movie grossed more than $167 million worldwide, followed by the 2015 sequel Magic Mike XXL. The franchise also led to a London stage musical Magic Mike Live and an HBO Max competition series Finding Magic Mike.
