Channing Tatum says he won the ''genetic lottery'' with his looks.

The 'Magic Mike' star is happy to be labelled as handsome as he believes it has helped him in his career so far, although he knows he can't rely on his looks forever.

Channing Tatum doesn't think anything in his life will ever be as embarrassing as when he was a stripper.

The 32-year-old star plays stripper Michael Lane in his latest comedy movie 'Magic Mike' - which is based on the actor's own experiences when he was 19 and short of cash - and he doesn't expect to experience anything ''worse'' than when he was regularly taking his clothes off in front of strangers.

Channing Tatum has told his wife to stop waxing.

The 32-year-old actor underwent an intensive beauty and grooming regime for his role as stripper Michael Lane in his new film 'Magic Mike' and he has given his wife Jenna Dewan permission to stop waxing her legs after undergoing the painful hair removal procedure himself.

Channing Tatum admits being waxed for 'Magic Mike' was the ''most painful'' thing he'd ever done.

The 32-year-old actor underwent a gruelling transformation to play a stripper in the film, and despite working out three-hours a day, coating himself in fake tan every day and sticking to a strict gluten-free and non-dairy diet, he admits the worst part of his preparation was having the hair removed from his most intimate areas.
