Apparently, there is just no saying no to Channing Tatum; at least there wasn't for Good Morning America co-host Michael Strahan. When the smooth as silk actor dropped by Live with Kelly and Michael! that former football star bust into an impromptu dance performance before agreeing to be in Tatum's Magic Mike XXL sequel. The day time talk show personality, who recently split with ex-girlfriend Nicole Murphy, claimed that he got started down the road to fitness that led him into getting into the stripping shape he is today, by watching Jane Fonda workout video as a kid.
Good Morning America co-host Michael Strahan has announced that his appearance in Magic Mike 2 is no joke.
Despite pretending like he wasn't really into the idea from the get go, Strahan announced on Live with Kelly and Michael, that thanks to Channing's constant pressuring and his all in bravado, he is actually going to have to go through with getting almost completely naked for his Hollywood big-screen debut.
That being said--Michael admitted that he still finds himself very slowly realizing just what he has signed himself up for in Myrtle Beach (via USA Today):
"The wardrobe guy called me the other day, Christopher.
"Christopher and I talked the other day, and after the conversation I said 'why did he even bother to call me to talk about wardrobe?
"Because apparently, there ain't nothing to be worn."
Believe it or not--after all that--Strahan had absolutely no problem admitting to the world that if not for Jane Fonda he may have never got into fitness and exercise.
During an interview with the L.A. Times, the football Hall of Famer claimed that he might still be a chubby little boy today if not for the amazing production value in Jane Fonda's early workout tapes:
"When I was 13, I had the original bubble butt. My brothers called me 'Bob,' for 'booty on back.'
"Using Jane Fonda's workout tapes, I did enough leg lifts to literally work my butt off.
"That's when I became conscious of the importance of working out and trying to improve my health."
Once you've admitted something like that to the entire town of Los Angeles...really what's a little willy wiggle for Channing Tatum and the boys?
