Channing Tatum had to keep his 'Magic Mike' dance moves under control when he took his daughter to see Taylor Swift.

The Hollywood actor is dad to 11-year-old daughter Everly with his ex-wife Jenna Dewan and he took her to see the pop star perform a concert in Los Angeles and Channing admitted he had to tone down his dance moves after previously perfecting sexy routines to play a stripper onscreen in the 2012 film.

During an appearance on 'Late Night with Seth Meyers', he said: "I saw [Taylor Swift perform] in LA with my daughter. Seeing it with your daughter is very different because you know, you gotta like go in. I was dancing like I’d never danced before.

"Well you also have to make sure you’re not dancing like you dance, you know what I mean? There was none of this [body rolling]. There was zero of that.

"I’m so grateful that she doesn’t know how I dance."

He went on to admit Everly hasn't seen his saucy movie and he fears there will be an awkward moment when she does eventually watch it.

Channing added: "It’s going to be horrifying when it does [watch the film]."

The host then teased Channing, saying: "You're going to come home and she's like going to flip on a lamp and be like, 'We need to talk'."

Channing went on to reveal he found Taylor's concert to be quite overwhelming because it was amazing to see one woman performing on a huge stage to such a massive crowd.

He added: "It’s really scary. You walk out and you’re just like, ‘Oh my God, there’s just one little tiny person just standing onstage'. [The stadium was] filled to the actual brim. The sheer concept in your brain doesn’t quite make sense."

It comes after the actor opened up about his habit of checking his phone and admitted he goes on "full iPhone diets" to cut down on his screen time because he struggles to be "alone" with his thoughts when he has a device to hand.

Speaking at the London premiere of his new film 'Blink Twice', Channing explained to the Dailymail.co.uk : "I’m not good at responding to people but I go on full iPhone diets because as soon as I reach for my phone compulsory.

"When I’m just sitting there and I feel like I can’t be alone with myself or with my thoughts, I make sure I take a week or two off without it."
