Channing Tatum is feeling the need for Speedo.
The 41-year-old actor put his smooth muscled body on full display as he posed shirtless in a tiny Burberry bikini swimsuit for a new spread in VMAN’s spring/summer issue.
In one sultry snap, Tatum lays poolside basking his hairless physique and rippling abs in the sun while shielding his eyes in a pair of aviator shades. While another photo sees the “Dog” star rocking the same itty bitty bathing suit with a sweater tied at his neck obscuring his bare chest.
Fashion fans should note the editorial does include the actor wearing shirts in follow-up pictures.
While Tatum is no stranger to baring his body on film in "Magic Mike," he is set to reprise his iconic male stripper role in a new sequel in the franchise.
Last November, the actor announced a third film in the exotic dancer franchise was heading into production.
“Well world, looks like Mike Lane’s tapping back in,” Tatum captioned an image of the script that also revealed the film would be titled “Magic Mike’s Last Dance.”
Director Steven Soderbergh and writer Reid Carolin are also returning for the follow-up. The film is set to debut on HBO Max. No premiere date has been announced.
“Magic Mike” first hit theaters in 2012, followed by “Magic Mike XXL” in 2015. The two films grossed nearly $300 million worldwide.
Earlier this week, Tatum disclosed one way how the new film will be different from the previous two.
"We are going to change with the times, and I am not gonna do the whole waxing thing,” Tatum told Jimmy Kimmel in regards to removing all his body hair to play the titular character. “I think I'm just gonna go natural.”

"I think we're gonna try to change it. I think we're gonna just— it's a new day. It's a new day,” he added, before sharing that the reasoning was simply due to him not wanting to undergo the painful waxing process again. "A little bit of hair is fine!"
Hairy or smooth, Tatum is always fine!
