You might remember Channing Tatum's rippling abs from Magic Mike. (If not, here's a little reminder).

.

But they are no longer with us and he is totally cool with it. The actor, who has recently become a father to a daughter, Everly, with wife Jenna Dewan-Tatum, explained that he is so happy with being 'fat' that he's got a word for it. And the word is: fappy.

'Right now, what me and my wife like to call it, I am very fappy. I’m very fat and happy right now,' he told Ellen DeGeneres on her talkshow.

Whilst we applaud his positive body image message, we can't help but wonder whether a lot of his happiness could also be down to the fact he doesn't spend too much of his time on anonymous internet forums. We know he doesn't spend a lot of his time there, because if he did, he'd know that fap is slang for wank, and fappy would basically mean wanky. Oh, Channing.
