Channing Tatum tried being vegan so you don't have to!

Los Angeles - Channing Tatum tried going vegan for six months.

The Magic Mike XXL star opted for a meat and dairy free diet for half a year at the request of his wife Jenna Dewan Tatum but had to give up as he doesn't like vegetables.

Jenna revealed: "He really did try to be vegan for six months. The guy doesn't like vegetables, which makes it tough. It was hard in the beginning because you want someone to be on the same page, but you've got to let people be themselves."

And the 35-year-old actress - who follows a vegan diet herself - says the secret to her great physique is "45-minute power workouts".

Speaking in the July/August issue of Women's Health magazine, she added: "I love 45-minute power workouts. I get in, do my thing, and then I'm able to go pick up my 3-year-old daughter Everly from school. It gives me energy.

"I need somebody to motivate me. I like the motivation of having somebody watching over and giving me inspiration."
