Oh Channing… making up excuses to take off your clothes. Channing Tatum decided to show off his bare butt to the world in his new movie, The Vow and calls the nudity a ‘necessity!’
“It was very gratuitous,” the studster told E! about a particular scene showing him taking out the trash bare-chested. “It was like, ‘Do I really need to have my shirt off to take out the garbage while eating a piece of pizza and picking up a cat?’ Shirtless? Was that really necessary?”
Maybe not, but even director Michael Sucsy admits it was completely gratuitous in order to “keep the fans happy.”
As for the naked butt shot? That actually does help explain the relationship Tatum’s character has with his wife (Rachel McAdams) after she loses her memory in a terrible car crash. “That wasn’t gratuitous,” Tatum said. “That was necessary.”
Channing’s wife/actress, Jenna Dewan seems cool with the nudity,
“I was like, ‘There’s his butt on the screen,'” she laughed. “But it’s completely screen-worthy…It’s definitely going to be something people rewind and play.”
And Channing will star in a new stripper movie, Magic Mike and did you catch SNL…he was half naked most of the time.
“I’m sure,” he said, “it won’t be the last time I take my clothes off.”
