" Channing Tatum has confessed that getting in shape for Magic Mike took some work.  The 32-year-old opened up about the preparation for the Steven Soderbergh movie, which is loosely based on his time as a male stripper.  &amp;quot;I think pre-movie is pretty intense because to get butt naked, you have to - there&amp;#039;s a different regimen for getting butt naked, but thank god, it was a short shoot,&amp;quot; Tatum told MTV News. &amp;quot;Then we just had fun on the day,&amp;quot; he added.  Tatum recently confessed that he was unhappy working as a male stripper, describing himself as &amp;quot;a fool in a stupid outfit&amp;quot;. The actor recently admitted that he&amp;#039;s frightened of co-star Rooney Mara, who plays his wife in the forthcoming Soderbergh thriller The Bitter Pill. Magic Mike opens in theatres in the US on June 29 and the UK on July 11. Watch a trailer for Magic Mike below:       "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
