Channing Tatum, the actor of iconic films such as Magic Mike and the author of the children’s book The One and Only Sparkella, is giving us a lot to look forward to today with a hot new nude picture from the trailer of his forthcoming film Lost City of D. And by nude, we mean completely naked — or, as he puts it, “a-hole naked.” There will be no subtle covered-up nudes for this celebrity, only a full-frontal glimpse of his sculpted eight-pack in jaw-dropping detail.

Channing captioned the Instagram Story thirst trap with a devil emoji, “You know when you in the make-up trailer a—hole naked holding a towel over your junk you about to do some s—t on set that you gonna have to prepare ya mama for before she see the movie. And yes I’m flexing so hard I got a cramp.”

While he was at it, Tatum claimed that he was flexing so hard while snapping the selfie that he nearly cramped. “’You know when you in the make-up trailer a*****e naked holding a towel over your junk you about to do some s**t on set that you gonna have to prepare ya mama for before she see the movie,” he captioned the photo.

Tatum will feature in the romantic comedy, which will be released next April, with Sandra Bullock, who will also produce the film.

According to IMDb, Tatum stars in this film as a cover model for reclusive romance author Sandra Bullock, with whom he becomes entangled in a jungle kidnapping adventure alongside Brad Pitt, Danielle Radcliffe, and Patti Harrison. A Bullock-Tatum rom-com is everything we didn’t realize we wanted, and Tatum looks like a romance novel cover model in this one. It’s an age-old story, the romance author and the cover model… and one Tatum’s mother would want to miss entirely.

As fans may recall, the Magic Mike star previously revealed that he lost 10 pounds while quarantined. For the first like, I’d say week or two weeks, I definitely was just drinking beers and riding dirt bikes and I was like, ‘I can’t do this for like, two months.’ Like, ‘This is bad,’” he admitted to Jimmy Fallon on The Tonight Show in early May. “And then me and my buddy, we just went really, really hard. We started training every day. And it was great. I mean, I came out a completely new person.”

Brad Pitt will make a cameo appearance in the film, which also stars Patti Harrison, Da’Vine Joy Randolph, and Daniel Radcliffe.

Channing recognizes how fortunate he is to be in his position. Channing, who has a daughter Everly with ex Jenna Dewan, stated on The Kelly Clarkson Show, “I literally get to work out as a job and it’s still hard. I can’t imagine people who have a 9-5 job, who have kids at home, and where do they get the energy and the time to actually focus on themselves?”

Channing Tatum has recently gone above and beyond to keep in shape while filming. In a recent Instagram post, the actor uploaded a video of himself working out at the beach and said, “I have done all kinds of bullshit to get in or stay in shape. Almost everything you can think of. And I have to say nothing yet has been more suffocating and exhausting and effective than freestyle wrestling or open ocean water swimming.”
