Channing Tatum and Matthew McConaughey have discussed the pressures of maintaining a toned physique and blamed magazines for giving people unrealistic expectations.

The duo star in the new film Magic Mike which is loosely based on Tatum's days working as a male stripper.

The film is directed by Steven Soderbergh and features Tatum as a veteran stripper who takes a younger performer under his wing.

The actors were talking to Newsbeat's entertainment reporter Natalie Jamieson.
