Hollywood star Channing Tatum (41) gets female support with Salma Hayek (55) for the continuation of the stripper story about “Magic Mike”. Hayek, who most recently starred in “Eternals” and “House of Gucci,” joins the cast of “Magic Mike’s Last Dance,” US industry publications Variety and The Hollywood Reporter reported on Wednesday.
Hayek replaces the originally intended actress Thandiwe Newton (49, “Westworld”), who had to leave at short notice for family reasons, as the Warner Bros. studio told the sheets. Filming has just started in the UK, it said.
