Channing Tatum shows off some of his better assets in the movie "Magic Mike," and he's set to do that again in a sequel. But as he told Elle magazine, he enjoys being in the buff off-camera, too. "I have a really nice back porch where the pool is," he said. "Once the shoes are off, the socks come off too, and then everything else downstairs just follows at some point." He's not the only celeb who enjoys flashing some skin: What better way to get in touch with nature than to lose every last stitch of clothing? That's what "True Blood" star Alexander Skarsgard did on a trip to the South Pole, as captured by adventure guide Inge Solheim. The snapshot isn't too surprising -- even considering the frigid temperature -- since this is one actor who has zero problems with nudity. On the job, "if we're naked in the scene, then I'm naked," Skarsgard once explained to Rolling Stone. It's just too easy to make the joke about Shia LaBeouf's loving to be in "la buff." He recently tweeted a nude photo of himself from the upcoming film "Charlie Countryman" and has not been shy about appearing naked in movies and a music video. Lady Gaga will pretty much get nude anywhere it seems - magazine spreads, music videos - she loves to bare it. Rihanna so enjoys going bare that she has a perfume called "Nude." "You only have one life," she told E!. "And one body. And that's yours! So own it, no matter what. Nobody else can tell you what to do." Here she displays that attitude on Dec 2012 cover of GQ magazine. Jennifer Aniston explored the world of free love and nudity with Paul Rudd in the film "Wanderlust." She has been quoted as saying being nude in movies is "liberating," but denied to friend Chelsea Handler on her late night talk show that she and fiance, Justin Theroux , are nudists. Lindsay Lohan was featured on the cover of the Jan/Feb 2012 issue of Playboy magazine and her nude scenes from the 2013 film 'The Canyons" have shown up online. Kate Winslet has famously had her nude portrait drawn in the film "Titanic" and stripped for other roles, though she admits it can get a bit weird stripping down on set. "I just go in and say 'Oh f**k' let's do it.' and Boom," she said in an interview. If you complain about it or procrastinate it's not going to go away. Its a profoundly bizarre thing to do. As actors you talk about it all the time." Some of you might be more familiar with Kim Kardashian's curves than your own physique. The reality star became famous with a sex tape and stayed famous with her reality show and photos such as this one, which she did for W magazine in 2010. While Kardashian later said she didn't think she'd ever pose nude again, she still frequently posts the next best thing on her Instagram account. Daniel Radcliffe spent so much time naked on the sets of films and productions, he had to ask the producers of his Brit drama, "A Young Doctor's Notebook," to let him keep some clothes on. "I think there was a discussion about possible nudity for one scene," Radcliffe recalled to The Independent, "and I think my comment was, 'I got naked in three films last year, please can I not?' " Even those who've never watched a single episode of Lena Dunham's "Girls" know that the show includes plenty of nudity -- and most often, it's Dunham herself showing skin. While Dunham's said that her frequent nakedness isn't a political statement and is more about creative expression, she does acknowledge that it can have cultural impact. "We have this insane culture where women who don't look like the cast of 'Gossip Girl' are put into like sweaters and nightgowns to sleep in," she told CBS News in 2013. "What I love are the films of the '70s where a person gets out of bed and you see half their nipple because that's what it looks like when a person gets out of bed."
- Channing Tatum's "Magic Mike" sequel is officially under way
- The movie, "Magic Mike XXL," will arrive in July 2015
- Tatum expects most of the cast to return
(CNN) -- Channing Tatum's "Magic Mike" is back in action.
On July 3, 2015, Tatum's stripper with a heart of gold will be back in theaters with a new story after winning over audiences in 2012's "Magic Mike."
And instead of simply calling the sequel "Magic Mike 2," Tatum and his team have conjured up a more memorable title: "Magic Mike XXL."
Because of course.
In the first "Magic Mike," 33-year-old Tatum starred as the titular Mike, a construction worker and aspiring furniture designer by day and magical male stripper by night. Directed by Steven Soderbergh and including stars like Matthew McConaughey, Joe Manganiello and Alex Pettyfer, "Magic Mike's" summer 2012 debut was hot enough to earn $113 million domestically.
According to Tatum, "Magic Mike XXL" will shift the action from Florida nightclubs to the road.
"This one will be a road trip movie," he told MTV on Sunday, when he was honored with the network's Trailblazer Award at the 2014 MTV Movie Awards. "We don't want to make it a serious, slice-of-life movie. We want reality in it, but we don't want to make it some dark drama. There was some darkness in the last one, and I think it surprised people and shocked people. This one, we want there to be a lot of conflict and struggle, but we also want a s***-ton of fun. Just ridiculous stuff that you would never see in a movie."
Tatum is again writing and producing "XXL" with Reid Carolin, with Gregory Jacobs directing. As far as the cast, "I think everyone's going to be back," Tatum said, although he cautioned that deals aren't set in stone.
"Magic Mike XXL" will follow a very busy few years for Tatum. On the heels of success with 2012's "21 Jump Street" and "Magic Mike," the actor has starred in no less than eight films, with three of them still to come this year. His "21 Jump Street" sequel with Jonah Hill, "22 Jump Street," arrives June 13, and his sci-fi film with Mila Kunis, "Jupiter Ascending," bows on July 18.
