The `Dear John` actor admits his actress spouse, Jenna Dewan, is obsessed by romantic film `The Notebook` - in which the two lead characters eventually pass away in old age while cuddling each other - and has made him promise that`s how they`ll leave this planet.

He said: "My wife makes me watch `The Notebook` all the time - it`s one of her favourite movies. It makes me cry and it makes her cry. But every time we put it on she makes me promise that we`ll die in bed together, which is a little weird!"

Although he is a little freaked out by his wife`s hopes, Channing - who married his `Step Up` co-star in 2009 - is a hopeless romantic and has even written stories for his stunning partner
Channing - whose alter-ego John Tyree in `Dear John` stays in touch with his girlfriend by letters - told BANG Showbiz: "I don`t think I`ve ever written a love letter but I have written a story for my wife. I then gave it to her as a present at Christmas. But I would like to write more letters, I think it`s a lost art form."
