Watch Channing Tatum act out Magic Mike scenes, as written by kids


Magic Mike XXL has nothing on Magic Mike, the Kid Theater edition. On The Tonight Show, Jimmy Fallon asked elementary school kids to write scenes that they would expect to see in a movie called Magic Mike, and they delivered: Steven, 8, of Dallas, thinks Magic Mike is just like regular Mike, except has a supernatural ability to fix flat bike tires, while Asher, 6, of Pennsylvania, is sure Mike is the king of the aliens. The scenes are chock full of unintentional double entendres, and Channing Tatum and Fallon both have a hard time keeping it together as they talk about a magical bike pump. Watch the clip below.
