Actor Channing Tatum says he now has one enormous ab after stopping his workout sessions since the end of the "Magic Mike XXL" shooting.

"I have one enormous ab right now and it's not even hard. I love food and I love indulging. My wife craves healthy food. I'm the complete opposite. I grew up down South, eating Cheetos and Ho Hos... And I was a skinny kid."

"Then you hit a certain age, you start drinking beer and now it's really easy to put it on. And you can't fake it in 'Magic Mike'. Usually on screen, if you're butt-naked, (all you're doing is) walking from the bed to the shower, so you can hold it all in," Tatum told Time Out magazine, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

The 35-year-old actor says he knows he will eventually have to get back in the gym as he thinks he's "not a good enough actor" to avoid having to take his shirt off in a movie.

He added: "I haven't worked out one time since 'Magic Mike'. I know I'm going to have to do it again eventually. I'm not a good enough actor not to take my shirt off in a movie. So I'm just going to wait until that freight train comes."
