Channing Tatum is taking to the stage for a third and final time in "Magic Mike's Last Dance," which sees him work with Salma Hayek Pinault's wealthy Maxandra Mendoza to open up a London-based "Magic Mike" stage show.

Obviously, the show includes plenty of other chiseled dancers, and it turns out that Hayek Pinault got quite friendly with her other costars.

The "From Dusk Til Dawn" star recently spoke to People about working on the sequel, explaining that she had preconceptions about what the dancers were going to be like, and joked that her husband François-Henri Pinault isn't the jealous type.

Hayek Pinault said: "My husband is not a jealous man. I used to call him all the time [from set] and say, 'Oh my God, I feel so bad,' because I had this predisposition about how the guys, the strippers, were going to be."

Thankfully, the actor quickly discovered that her expectations were wrong, saying: "But they're not. They're lovely. They're such great guys. And [François] goes, 'Oh God, you're becoming best friends with the strippers, aren't you?' And I said, 'Yes!'"

The star went on to say that Pinault visited her on set, and one of the dancers was starstruck by him because he had followed his business success.

Hayek Pinault recalled: "And then he came a couple of times to the set. There was especially one [dancer] who would come and ask him advice for business. He spoke French and he knew everything about François. He says, 'I'm a big fan.' He reacted more to François than to me!"

Once production had finished on the "Magic Mike" sequel, Hayek Pinault invited the dancers to her house, and noted that her husband thought they were all "adorable."

"By the end of the movie they all came to the house. They were all hanging out with me. Then François was saying, 'You're right, they're adorable, they're lovely.'"

It's not the first time Hayek Pinault has opened up about the fun nature of the "Magic Mike" set. She recently joked that Tatum nearly "killed" her during a rehearsal for one of the film's wild lap dances.
