Channing Tatum says even he was a little surprised at how often he gets naked in his new romantic drama The Vow.

The Hollywood hunk tells E! Online that he felt a little weird about how often he was required to doff his shirt for scenes in the film.

'It was very gratuitous,' Tatum says. 'It was like, 'Do I really need to have my shirt off to take out the garbage while eating a piece of pizza and picking up a cat?' Shirtless? Was that really necessary?"

Tatum stars in The Vow as the husband of a woman, played by Rachel McAdams, who loses her memory after waking from a coma following a car accident.

The star say that, while the shirtless scenes seemed a little over done, a butt-shot later in the film "Wasn't gratuitous. That was necessary."

Jenna Dewan, Tatum's wife, tells the site she had no problem with the nude scene.

"It's completely screen-worthy," she says. "It's definitely going to be something people rewind and play."

The star, who plays a male stripper in the upcoming drama Magic Mike, which is based on his real-life past as a dancer, admits The Vow probably won't be the last time he strips down for the camera.

"I'm sure it won't be the last time I take my clothes off."
