Los Angeles, June 4 (IANS): Actor Channing Tatum puts on strip shows for his wife Jenna Dewan-Tatum because she likes to "take advantage" of his former career.

Asked if he strips for his wife, he said: "Of course! She's got a stripper for a husband and she's not gonna take advantage of that."

While he is happy to strip for Jenna, the 35-year-old star finds it tiresome when his fans ask him to perform for them, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

"That happens every time I walk out of my house. It can get old. I'm not a monkey!," Tatum told Empire magazine.

Channing decided to become a stripper because he wanted to "experience madness" and had a lot of "good times", though he knew it wouldn't be his career forever.

He said: "I'd no idea I wanted to act. I went looking for crazy. All I knew was I wanted to experience madness. And it was madness.

"It was women, money, good times. But that's what 'Magic Mike' was about, at what point have I had my fill of this? I can't tell you I had any big dreams. But I knew I wasn't going to get a college degree."
