The 32-year-old recently revealed to People Magazine an agonizing experience he had with waxing his body for the role:

"It was the most painful thing I'll ever do. And it's something I'll never do again."

Since Channing has some prior experience as a male stripper from when he was 18, he also talked about how he loves the dance portions of filming:

"I enjoyed the performing part of dancing but I didn't really love taking my clothes off. It was fun while it lasted."
