Channing Tatum is unsure Matthew McConaughey will want to be in โMagic Mikeโs Last Dance.โ
The 41-year-old actor โ who stars as the eponymous stripper in the film series โ admitted that he is unsure whether his co-star Matthew McConaughey will be reprising his role of Dallas for the third instalment after he refused to take part in the first sequel.
He said: โI donโt know if Matthew would want to do [โMagic Mikeโs Last Danceโ], he loves what he did in the first movie so much. He was like, โI donโt want to touch it.โ
Channing then went on to heap praise on Matthew โ who played former stripper Dallas and boss of Magic Mike in the cult hit โ and singled him out as the โstarโ of the film.
Speaking to Entertainment Tonight, he added: โI mean, Iโm not saying anything about mine or anyone elseโs performances. He was the star, he was the movie, it was special. I canโt tell you how many times I had to watch the movie because of different edits Steven [Soderbergh] would do, and I would just fast forward to when he blew the fire, and Iโm like, โYeah, heโs a swan song.โ
โMagic Mikeโs Last Danceโ is set to be released later this year and marks Channingโs first movie appearance after a four year break.
The star previously promised that he had โlistenedโ to fans of the series and claimed that the upcoming movie will feature โless character, more dancing.โ
He said: โI want this movie to be filled with joy and fun. Everybody is like, โLess character, more dancing.โ So Iโve listened.โ
