Channing Tatum puts on strip shows for his wife.

The 'Magic Mike XXL' star - who has two-year-old daughter Everly with spouse Jenna Dewan-Tatum - was a stripper before finding fame as an actor and he admits the brunette beauty likes him to show his skills when they are alone together.

Asked if he strips for his wife, he said: ''Of course! She's got a stripper for a husband and she's not gonna take advantage of that.''

While he is happy to strip for Jenna, the 35-year-old hunk finds it tiresome when his fans ask him to perform for them.

He told Empire magazine: ''That happens every time I walk out of my house. It can get old. I'm not a monkey!''

Channing decided to become a stripper because he wanted to ''experience madness'' and had a lot of ''good times'', though he knew it wouldn't be his career forever.

He said: ''I'd no idea I wanted to act. I went looking for crazy.

''All I knew was I wanted to experience madness. And it was madness.

''It was women, money, good times. But that's what 'Magic Mike' was about, at what point have I had my fill of this?

''I can't tell you I had any big dreams. But I knew I wasn't going to get a college degree.''
