Jada Pinkett Smith Talks About Rubbing Down Matt Bomer’s Chest On Set Of ‘Magic Mike XXL’


Jada Pinkett Smith stars in a sequel to the hit stripper film, Magic Mike, along with Channing Tatum, Matt Bomer, Joe Manganiello, Kevin Nash, Adam Rodríguez, and Gabriel Iglesias.

She plays the role of Rome, owner of a high-class brothel.

The movie, called Magic Mike XXL, held a Ladies Night Out Advanced Screening in Atlanta where the actress wore an eye-catching yellow dress with plunging neckline.

The captivating actress was joined by shirtless hunks who put on a strip show before the movie started at the Landmark Midtown Art Cinema.

The 43-year-old actress admitted in an interview with Access Hollywood that she enjoyed being on the set with the male strippers who played extras in the movie. Smith said her knees turned to jelly when she saw them greasing up.

In the interview, Smith also revealed that husband Will Smith gets to enjoy some perks from the film as she brought home some of Rome’s characteristics and attitude.

Smith believes that a couple should put some spice into their relationship and both spouses should be comfortable in their own skin for the marriage to last.

Access Hollywood also revealed that Smith had taken a liking to Matt Bomer and would rub his chest whenever she saw him on the set.

She further confessed that it was an unconscious act and she apologized to the actor for her behavior. Bomer didn’t seem to mind Smith’s actions, though.

These days, Jada Pinkett Smith seems to be playing roles of strong women. Recently, the Baltimore-born stunner took on the role of Fish Mooney, a villain with manicured claws and a red-tipped wig in the TV series Gotham.

“I tend to gravitate towards strength energy lines,” Smith said in an interview with Mimi Lombardo of Haute Living.

In the interview, Smith revealed that her character Rome, was originally written as a man’s role. However, she accepted the role after talking with director Greg Jacobs and and co-star Channing Tatum via Skype, and recognized the sincerity in their intentions.

“One of the biggest selling points for accepting this role was Channing saying—and I’m not quoting—that there is a way to make the adult entertainment industry responsible. First of all, Channing has a huge influence in this industry—the idea that he has the guts to tackle this subject was a real selling point for me,” Smith said.

Fans can watch Jada Pinkett Smith in Magic Mike XXL showing in theaters on July 1.
