Channing Tatum has admitted he gets jealous watching wife Jenna Dewan-Tatum kiss other people on screen.

The two actors met when they starred together in 2006 film Step Up and have a 17-month-old daughter Everly.

Channing revealed Jenna is very cool about him playing a stripper in Magic Mike, but he's not as relaxed as her.

He revealed: "She's an actress and does things other husbands wouldn't want their wives to do, so it's a nice trade-off. We're almost 10 years into it [our relationship] now though, so it's kind of old hat.

"I still don't like seeing her kiss other people though."

Channing, 34, is about to begin work on the sequel Magic Mike XXL.

He admitted: "It's weird, because my job involves doing things that other wives wouldn't want their husbands doing.

"She loves Magic Mike but she's a cool girl like that," added the 34-year-old. It's a good thing his wife, who he married in 2009, is happy with him stripping off and humping his way across the screen, because the follow up, Magic Mike XXL, is "going to be a crazy walk".

"The biggest regret on the first film was that we didn't get to live with them [the strippers] enough, and I just wanted to see that version of the movie. So with this one, you sit with them and learn about their dreams and fears."

The Book Of Life star was a model before becoming an actor, and spent a period of his life working as a stripper, which inspired the movie.

He revealed: "Magic Mike wasn't really my [exact] experience. You just steal from everywhere and make things up to fill in the gaps. It's a weird world and one I found wildly interesting. Even though it was dangerous and kind of dark, I wouldn't trade the experience, because I luckily got out of it unscathed."
