Jennifer Aniston got so hot and bothered watching Channing Tatum play a stripper in Magic Mike that she wants him to be her next leading man, RadarOnline.com has learned!
"Channing has definitely leaped to the top of the list of stars she'd like to work with," a source said.
"Jen loved him in Magic Mike and 21 Jump Street and even had a Channing screening night with her girlfriends in February, when they watched several of his films. The Channing marathon was a huge success!"
The former Friends star, 45, couldn't get enough of Tatum's sizzling style in Magic Mike, in which he strips down to a red thong and simulates sex with a woman on stage.
And Aniston, who was an Oscar presenter with Tatum, 33, in 2013, identified with the actor, the source added, because she played a stripper herself in the comedy We're The Millers.
According to the insider, Aniston's next movie project is likely to be one "where she works with a prominent male lead in a comedy, as she did in The Break-Up or Bruce Almighty.
The Hollywood source said: "Jen thinks Channing would be a sure thing in terms of box office success in a romantic comedy. He's both funny and sexy and she thinks their screen chemistry would be off the charts."
