- Channing Tatum said he should apologize to Kristen Bell's husband after she saw "Magic Mike Live."
- Bell saw the show in London and called it one of the best experiences of her life.
- Bell said that she "just felt like I was on fire" while watching the show.
Channing Tatum said that he should "probably apologize" to Dax Shepard, Kristen Bell's husband, for how much she liked the London show of "Magic Mike Live."
Bell spoke about attending the show on a February episode of "The Ellen DeGeneres Show," saying that she attended the show in London while filming "The People We Hate at the Wedding" with Ben Platt, Allison Janney, and Karan Soni. Despite not thinking that she would like the "Magic Mike" show, Bell said that she loved it.
"I'm gonna tell you, it was one of the best nights of my life. Up there with having my children and getting married. I felt electric," Bell said.
Tatum responded to Bell's comments on Thursday's episode of "The Ellen DeGeneres Show," where he promoted his new film "The Lost City" as well as the upcoming "Magic Mike 3," which Variety reported begins filming in London this month.
"I owe her a phone call, and just a thank you, 'cause that was like, the most sweetest thing," Tatum said. "I know Dax really well, so I probably have to apologize for Dax. Yeah, sorry Dax."
"Magic Mike Live" was conceived of and directed by Tatum, who starred in both "Magic Mike" and its sequel "Magic Mike XXL." The films draw from Tatum's experience as a young stripper, and the franchise has been adapted into live shows in Las Vegas and London, as well as tours in the US and UK.
"The show is so not what you think it is," Bell told DeGeneres in February. "If you ever have had a thought about what you thought the 'Magic Mike' show was, it is so body positive, so female positive, so male positive, so every positive."
"It felt so good and the dancing was so beautiful, and I just felt like I was on fire for it," she added.
