Mike sees potential in a 19-year-old kid who he ends up taking under his wing, showing him the ropes and guiding him to success. Mike warns him of the potential dangers that come with involving oneself in this sort of crowd, yet he still ends up falling privy to the stripper lifestyle when his romantic relationship with the kid’s sister is in jeopardy. The release ofthe firstMagic Mikewas instantly met with lots of attention and love, leading naturally to 2015’s follow-up sequel,Magic Mike XXL. From there, Tatum went on to expand the series even further, by creating and directing a live-show adaptation,Magic Mike Live. The third and last installment in the franchise,Magic Mike’s Last Dance, is currently in production, with Tatum, director Soderbergh, and original screenwriter Reid Carolin all set to reunite. Now, in a recent interview on Lorraine, Bullock shared that she isn’t too sure she will be able to watchMagic Mike 3when it comes out.
Bullock admitted to being both a fan ofMagic Mikeand of course Tatum himself but revealed that when she first saw the films, he was nothing but a stranger to her. Therefore, after the two have now become fast pals, it’s quite an awkward predicament Bullock finds herself in. She stated, “You know what? I loved it - I loved it a lot, and I loved the second one a lot. I think now that I know him, I don’t know if I’ll be comfortable watching it. It’s going to be weird because you were…someone else when I watched the movies, and now that I know him ‘normally’ - it’s going to be odd watching you do that thing you do.”
However, if Bullock did end up watchingMagic Mike 3, it actually wouldn’t be the first time she witnessed Tatum dancing or naked for that matter. There is ahilarious scene inThe Lost Citywhere Bullock has to remove leeches from Tatum’s completely naked body, so you could say the two are already pretty close. There is no current release date set forMagic Mike 3, but fans can still catch Bullock and Tatum inThe Lost City.
