Hollywood actor Channing Tatum couldn't stop laughing during his most recent TV interview after the host confessed she was in love with him and asked him to divorce his wife.

Channing, 36, from Cullman, Alabama, appeared on the first of a new YouTube series, Speechless, by Carly Fleischmann, a 21-year-old with autism who speaks with the help of a computer.

Carly, who dreams of becoming a talk show host, got her career off to a flying start with the interview by repeatedly catching Tatum off guard.  

Carly, 21, was diagnosed with autism at the age of two and uses a computer to talk. Her amazing jokes caught Channing off guard and repeatedly left him scrambling through laughter to regain his composure

The Hateful Eight actor can be seen putting his head on the table in shock at Carly's direct line of questioning and he is repeatedly overcome by giggles.

In the video the interviewer opens with a brief précis of Channing's career before joking he 'will soon leave his wife to be with me'.

Carly, who has also written a book called Carly's Voice: Breaking Through Autism, asks about his early career as a stripper, comments on some of his wife Jenna Dewan-Tatum's spiritual beliefs and asks who among his Hollywood friends would be allowed to date his daughter.

'Would you date a 21-year-old person with autism?' she asks.

'[You] will soon leave your wife to be with me': The interviewer had Channing in stitches as she joked about moving into his house and having her lawyers organise divorce papers for him and his wife

To which a laughing Channing replies: 'Yes, if I got permission from my wife.'

She smiles and says: 'Alright I've got my lawyers working on your divorce papers as we speak.'

Carly, who was diagnosed with autism and oromotor apraxia at the age of two, asks Channing if he 'finds it hard to be good looking?'

He replies: 'I find it hard to make people take me serious at all, ever. I'm very lucky that my parents are two good looking people.'

Carly beguiles the actor by following compliments with hard questions. 

'Now even though I'm in love with you I do realise that you're married,' she says, before suggesting his wife believes in fairies and inquiring if there are any of her spiritual beliefs that Channing just can't entertain.

'Is it hard being good looking?' Channing answered every single one of Carly's questions through laughter and at the end of the interview he invited her over to his house to meet his wife and daughter

Asking the actor about his early career taking his clothes off, Carly is up front: 'I know you were a stripper growing up. How many girls at the end of the night would you take home?'

Channing splutters, putting his head on the table: 'How many? At the end of one night? Some nights it was more than others.'

In an introductory video to her Speechless series Carly describes what it is like to live with autism. 'Nobody understands me,' she says. 'I want to be like every other kid. But I can't. Because I am Carly.'

'Nobody understands me,' Carly says of living with autism and oromotor apraxia. 'I want to be like every other kid. But I can't. Because I am Carly'

Channing's daughter, Everly Elizabeth Maiselle Tatum, was born in 2013. Carly asks him who out of his Hollywood actor friends would be allowed to date her.

A visibly amused Channing calls the question 'very complicated' before answering: 'I wouldn't let [my daughter] date any of them only because they are totally different in ages and she's only three.'

At the end of their time together Carly thanks Channing 'for this once in a lifetime interview' before adding: 'My bags are at your house and I'm ready to move in!'

The interviewer gets a kiss on the head from Channing who describes her as 'so sweet!' Carly then moves in to receive more kisses on the head from the actor. 'Work that body!' she says.
