Channing Tatum says a dental assistant once told him to take all of his clothes off during an appointment

• Channing Tatum says a dental assistant asked him to take off his clothes during an appointment.
• The dental assistant persisted, suggesting he could "take it off" if he wanted.

Channing Tatum may think twice about going to the dentist's office after a recent encounter left him flummoxed.

During an interview with On Demand Entertainment, the "Magic Mike's Last Dance" star recalled a recent visit to the dentist where he was asked to take all his clothes off.

"Not my actual dentist, but the woman that is the dentist's assistant — the tech lady — I come in, and she's like, 'I'll take your jacket," Tatum said. "I take off my jacket, give it to her. And she said, 'You can take the rest of it off.' I was like, what? Am I supposed to get in like a gown or something like that? It's a dentist. You're doing my teeth, right?"

Unfortunately for Tatum, the woman pushed on.

"I just laughed, and she thankfully broke the moment, and was like, 'ha ha ha, but you can take it off if you wanted," he added. "Then, she left the room. Now I know that I'm going to be literally laying on this table, and she's going to be in my mouth."

The dental assistant might better be served by watching "Magic Mike's Last Dance," which hits theaters on Friday. The third installment in the Magic Mike trilogy, directed by Steven Soderbergh, sees Tatum and Salma Hayek Pinault pair up to put on a male revue at a London theater.

Although the film shies away from nudity, "Magic Mike's Last Dance" features male strippers once again and one or two eyebrow-raising dance routines.

"It's not about the sex, per se, and whether the movie is explicit," Soderbergh told Rolling Stone. "There's no nudity in 'Out of Sight.' There's no nudity in 'Magic Mike's Last Dance.' There's not even a thong. And yet, it was our desire to make a sexy movie."
