It’s a fairly well-known fact that, before Channing Tatum was stripping for artistic reasons in movies like Magic Mike, he paid the bills by working as an actual, literal stripper. The good people at US Weekly recently unearthed video of an 18-year-old Tatum in his stripper days, back when he went by the decidedly less sexy name of Chan Crawford, and now you can watch him in all his baggy-pantsed glory, serving up some ripped, Backstreet Boys-inspired realness.
Lives were changed by this performance.
