AceShowbiz - Channing Tatum isn't looking forward to the day that his daughter finally sees "Magic Mike". The actor, 44, who appeared on the Wednesday, August 22 episode of "Late Night with Seth Meyers" to promote his upcoming film "Blink Twice", shared a story about taking his daughter Everly, 11, to see Taylor Swift's Eras Tour in Los Angeles, Calif.
Tatum noted that it was a different experience taking Everly, whom he shares with ex Jenna Dewan, to see Swift than it was when he went in London with fiancee Zoe Kravitz. "I saw it in LA with my daughter. Seeing it with your daughter is very different because you know, you gotta like go in. I was dancing like I'd never danced before," Tatum told host Seth Meyers.
"That's a lot coming from you," Meyers responded, referencing the actor's movie franchise "Magic Mike", which features male strippers. "Well you also have to make sure you're not dancing like you dance, you know what I mean? There was none of this," Tatum joked, doing a body roll. "There was zero of that."
"I'm so grateful that she doesn't know how I dance," he continued, prompting Meyers to ask when he'll let her find out about his moves. The host added that she will find out one day, most likely from someone other than her dad.
"It's going to be horrifying when it does. But it's a lot of like, this stuff and I'm just gonna keep it in that area," Tatum said, swinging his arms to mimic his dad-approved dancing.
Meyers also joked that Everly is "going to be the parent" the first time she sees "Magic Mike". "You're going to come home and she's like going to flip on a lamp and be like, 'We need to talk,' " he teased Tatum.
In May, the star shared a series of photos on Instagram from a Renaissance Faire he attended with Everly. Wearing a long cape and wielding a sword, Tatum posed next to his daughter, who had her arms by her side and stared straight into the camera. Tatum also included a few solo shots of Everly, who posed in the same style as the first photo, staring straight ahead.
"We love ourselves a renaissance fair. She said she wanted her character to be pirate assassin. I said, say less… not sure what i was other than a ghostly figure," Tatum joked in the caption. "Also dunked the clown in the water twice. They just talk so much s***! I was super proud. hehe Still got some left in the arm i guess. 😂 thanks Ren fair!!"
"Full disclosure she has a hidden dagger in a hidden dress pocket. She felt so cool. lol," Tatum ended the caption.
"Blink Twice" releases in theaters everywhere on Friday, August 23.
