Salma Hayek revealed that her lap dance scene with Channing Tatum in the trailer for “Magic Mike’s Last Dance” was as physically demanding as it was steamy.
The actor told Entertainment Tonight in an interview released Thursday that shooting the scene was “physically demanding.”
“Oh my God, wait and see. It’s just complicated,” he said.
Hayek stars as a wealthy socialite in the third and final installment of “Magic Mike,” alongside Tatum, who reprises his role as stripper Mike Lane in the film franchise. Mike quits his job as a bartender in Miami, Florida to travel to London, England with Hayek’s character, who “lures him with an offer he can’t refuse,” according to a description of the film.
The trailer, released in November, begins with Hayek’s character asking Mike Lane if he likes his job as a bartender. Later he asked, “What do you really do?”
The clip then teases their intense lap dance scene, which takes place in a house.
“You came in and gave me this unexpected magical moment that reminded me who I really am,” Hayek’s character said in the clip.
Tatum starred in the first “Magic Mike” in 2012 and the 2015 sequel, “Magic Mike XXL.”
She revealed on “The Kelly Clarkson Show” in February that she almost considered not returning to the film franchise for her final installment due to the intense training and diet required for the role.
He said at the time that being a good fit for the previous films “didn’t come naturally”.
“You must be starving,” he added later. “I don’t think it’s really healthy when you’re that thin.”
“Magic Mike’s Last Dance,” directed by Steven Soderbergh, opens in theaters on February 10.
