Channing Tatum is touching on his bond with seven-year-old daughter Everly.

Speaking on The Kelly Clarkson Show, the 41-year-old actor revealed his reaction when he came to know that he was going to be a girl's dad.

"I completely panicked when I found out we were having a girl," the dad of one admitted. "I literally went to YouTube and started figuring out, like, I think the first one I saw was a dad vacuuming up his daughter's hair with a hair tie on the vacuum and I was like, that's genius."

Trying that on his daughter later, Tatum realized it did not work as well as it was shown in the video.

"It doesn't work like the guy did it," Tatum shared. "I tried it, and it didn't work as well."

However, over the years, the Magic Mike star has learned to braid her daughter's hair. According to the actor, the hardest part of making a braid "three close to the head equal strands."

"Once I got that, the braiding's easy. The braiding is really, really simple," he explained. "But I'll always get a third of the way through and I'll realize that one strand is a lot shorter than the other ones, and my OCD kicks in, and I have to restart, and then it's just terrible."
