Jada Pinkett Smith claims Magic Mike has taught her to be more "playful" with husband Will Smith.
The 43-year-old actress touched on her new film Magic Mike XXL, admitting it taught her a lot about her 18-year marriage.
“It really taught me how to be more playful with my husband,” Jada said.

While it's certainly odd that a film about male strippers attributed to the actress's love life, which is constantly the scrutinised by the media, Jada revealed how a friend told her women tend to dominate space in the relationship.
“I really felt like this was a space for bro-time. I tried to be respectful of that and I really enjoyed watching the men. It was so much fun to see and to realise men really need boy time," she explained.

Speaking about her own husband, she said: “He’s a silly man all day long. He’s the guy who hides behind the door and jumps out. He’s that guy. All day. He’s just a big
freaking kid. I always play the role of like, ‘OK, you be the kid. OK, that’s cute.'”
However, after being involved in a nearly male-dominated cast, Jada admits it changed her outlook on her marriage with the 46-year-old actor.
"I learned to enjoy the playfulness in him much more and participate in it versus, like tolerate it."
