Channing Tatum has commented on what it will be like when his daughter finds out about his Magic Mike moves.
It's a predicament a lot of celebs might find themselves in upon bringing children into this world.
We've all done things that we'd rather our future kids don't know about, the difference is that they have millions of eyes on them.

And Channing Tatum has admitted that he isn't looking forward to the day his 11-year-old daughter finds out about Magic Mike.
The original 2012 film stars Tatum as Mike Lane, a male stripper.
But the film is loosely based on the experiences of Tatum, who was an 18-year-old male stripper in Tampa, Florida.
The actor appeared on a recent episode of Late Night with Seth Meyers to promote his upcoming film Blink Twice, and spoke about taking his daughter, Everly, to see the Taylor Swift Eras Tour.
He also went to see the show with his fiancée Zoë Kravitz in London, but said it was quite a different experience.
Talking on the show, he said: "I saw it in LA with my daughter.
"Seeing it with your daughter is very different because you know, you gotta like go in.
"I was dancing like I’d never danced before."
"That’s a lot coming from you,” Meyers responded, referring to his Magic Mike days.
Tatus added: "Well you also have to make sure you’re not dancing like you dance, you know what I mean?
"There was none of this,” he said, demonstrating a body roll.
“There was zero of that.”
Opening up about the awkward subject, he noted: "I’m so grateful that she doesn’t know how I dance.
"It’s going to be horrifying when it does."
But in a previous interview with Entertainment Tonight, he admitted that he will reveal he didn't just portray the character in the film.
He said: "When she's old enough to watch them, we'll have that conversation.
"There's no version of me not having the conversation of 'Dad didn't just do them in movies, I was an actual stripper', so I'm not gonna lie to her."
Tatum was known in his stripper days as Chan Crawford and reportedly earned $50 a night - plus whatever tips he was given.
He caught the eye of a casting agent, who took a chance on him and featured him in Ricky Martin's She Bangs music video.
From here, he landed several modelling jobs, which led to acting roles in Hollywood.
