Channing Tatum is getting stripper-ready.
The actor put his buff bod on display in Los Angeles earlier this week, where he was spotted leaving the gym in a revealing tank top, sweatpants and cocked baseball hat. Is it us, or does he looks like he just walked off the set of 2006 dance flick "Step Up"?
The 34-year-old hottie is prepping for his role in "Magic Mike XXL," the highly-anticipated (at least by us) sequel to the 2012 exotic male dancer movie inspired by Channing's real life past as a stripper.
Steven Soderberg, who directed the first movie, revealed the eye candy-filled film started shooting last week, posting the first pic from the set on August 31.

Channing previously told MTV that the follow-up will be a road trip film. "This one, we want to have a lot of conflict and a lot of struggle, but we also want there to be a sh** ton of fun. A sh** ton of ridiculous stuff that you would never see in a movie, on the face of the earth, ever again.
And while most of the cast members will be returning, we know of at least one star who won't be around for Part 2.
Cody Horn, who played Tatum's love interest the first time around, will be MIA. "I'm not in it," Horn told Vanity Fair this week. "The story to the sequel was kind of always around, and there's no room for a girlfriend in that."
We can live with that. See more buff bods in the gallery above!
