It was not just actor Channing Tatum who stripped at the Friday night premiere of "Magic Mike XXL. The 52-year old TV host Conan O'Brien slowly removed his brown hoodie, which revealed a gray T-shirt. Then off went the track pants which showed the host was wearing underneath a pair of tight jeans.
The film about male strippers normally attracts women and gays, but the late-night host decided to crash the girls' night out of his female assistant, Sona, at her apartment. He rented a limousine, brought champagne and paid for eight tickets, telling the sales staff, "That's seven female tickets and one MAN ticket," quotes USA Today.
Since all his women employees have been freaking out for days about the movie, the TV host decided to join them even if he did not watch the original "Magic Mike." He jests, "I don't know much about the movie but judging by the title, it's about the very heavy magician," quotes US Magazine.
The comedian admits thrusting one's pelvis is quite difficult to do. It was then not surprising that the moves of O'Brien made his female employees cringe while watching him try to outperform Channing. They then discussed pelvic thrusting and penis size.
O'Brien, while holding a cocktail in one hand, says he's friends with Channing. He describes another hunk actor in the movie as "He looks like a lumberjack who's off his meds."
Before heading for the theater, the group has dinner at a restaurant named Big Wangs. After watching the film, O'Brien jests he has become "female" because of the movie, saying, "I am lubricated. I am ovulating, and I am more woman than I have ever been before and I am ready ... to have a baby."
The hilarious video of his awkward attempt to be a stripper was released this week online. O'Brien took off his shirt in the video, but he ordered the editors to pixelize that part where his bare top was exposed.
