Channing Tatum hopes to see Magic Mike reach the broadest audience possible -- heterosexual men included. The film, loosely based on his own experiences as an exotic dancer,features Tatum, 32, Matthew McConaughey , 42, Alex Pettyfer , 22, Matt Bomer , 34, Joe Manganiello , 35, and Adam Rodriguez , 27, in various states of undress. "With Joe Manganiello naked in a movie, I think even straight guysare going to be, 'Sh-t, I need to see that," Tatum tells OUT 's June/July issue. "That man is a specimen.'" PHOTOS: Joe Manganiello's hottest shirtless shots But Tatum knows that getting straight male moviegoers to see Magic Mike is likely a long shot. "It's risky. People say that women and thegay community will go see it -- knock on wood -- but I knowstraight guys won't be like, 'Yo, what's up man? You wanna go seethe stripping movie after the game tonight?' I doubt they'll havethe balls to see it." VIDEO: Channing Tatum performs a sexy striptease Adds Tatum: "What's funny is that the girls don't ask me questionsabout my stripping days, but straight guys want to know everything.It's that fantasy element. It's probably why a lot of females onHalloween are the whorey version of a ketchup bottle, or sluttynurse, which I love and respect -- it's liberating." When asked about his days as a stripper in Tampa, Florida, Tatum --who wed Jenna Dewan in 2009 -- admits that he "never enjoyed thetaking-the-clothes-off part." "You are on a stage with people yelling at you, and you feel you'rea rock star, but you're nothing -- you're just a guy taking off hisclothes, looking like a fool in a stupid outfit."

VIDEO: Joe Manganiello tells Us how he stays in shape "I was definitely looking for something to take me into the darkside," he tells OUT. "You learn something about yourself, you learn about men, women,you see a lot of depressing sh-t, people that are lost. But at thesame time, the dark side can be exciting. It can feel like you'recheating death every night." Magic Mike arrives in theaters June 29. The new issue of OUT hits stands May 22.
