“I met with Channing Tatum, and he asked me to join the cast of ‘Magic Mike 2,’” Boss told DeGeneres during his appearance (above).

Boss suggested he’d be playing a stripper, because he said he’s “not nervous” about “wearing less.”

“There’s this other element. I have to get waxed,” Boss said. “I’m really nervous about that.”

“Oh, it’s going to hurt,” DeGeneres joked.

Boss is the most recent addition to a star-studded cast that already includes newcomers Donald Glover, Elizabeth Banks, Michael Strahan, Jada Pinkett Smith and Amber Heard, while producer Tatum — whose stripping career inspired director Steven Soderbergh‘s 2012 comedy — will return as the eponymous male stripper.
