Channing Tatum began career as male stripper
By Alexandra Heilbron on August 14, 2009 | 41 Comments
G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra star Channing Tatum began his career in 1999 as a stripper under the name Chan Crawford, according to Us magazine. Then 18, Tatum danced in a Chippendales-style revue called Male Encounter, earning $50 a night plus tips. “He was shy at first, but he really knew how to work the stage,” club owner London Steele told Us. “The women went crazy for him!” The revue had a strict no-nudity policy, so Tatum stripped down only to a thong. During his year-long stint, Tatum caught the eye of a female casting agent who got him a part in Ricky Martin’s “She Bangs” music video. He then left stripping behind for fashion shows and a modelling career. His acting took off in 2004 following a guest role on the hit series CSI: Miami.

Female strippers do the same thing, and no guy thinks it’s sick.
i think the guys are sick
You would..
if they dont think its sick than yes i do think there sick
Prudes would..
So she thinks it’s sick. It’s her opinion, doesn’t give you or anyone else the right to call her names.
I don’t think this guy is attractive at all, in my opinion.
‘She’ said GUYS are sick.
P R U D E
No…..actually, ‘She’ said she thinks the guys who like that are sick…not ALL guys!
R U D E
You’re more annoying than ever. Did I say ALL? And I didn’t imply it. I know what she meant. She is an insulting and judgmental prude..and you’re one and the same.
T R O L L
“One and the same”? To me, Shauna made it very clear that she thinks the “guys” you first referred to who like female strippers who do that, are sick, not all guys, then you turn around and made your Aug. 19 5:54 AM comment saying that “‘She’ said GUYS are sick”….”GUYS”, meaning the whole gender or “ALL”. How was Shauna insulting? I’m interested though demigod, do you have an opinion on this article? Something other than being “an insulting and judgemental prude” towards other peoples opinions on the article or are you just too busy being a “T R O L L” yourself?
God you’re tiring. Everyone else understands what I’m saying-are you dense? Generally, guys like that sorta thing, and YOU think they’re sick. It is insulting. P R U D E.
“God you’re tiring”. How would you know if everyone else understands what you are saying? No one else has even been commenting-“are you dense?” I never said it was sick. My only opinion on this article was that I don’t find this guy attractive at all, so get over yourself.
Ok Shauna..

honest question ….. honest answer…….
Seems like Nancy and moondog are being muzzled by Tribute..
Do I SOUND female?? I don’t go by ‘demigoddess’.
“being muzzled by Tribute”? Nope. And as for you SOUNDING female….hahahahahaha. That is hilarious!
moondog, pick a fight with Nancy..she’s more in your league.
the only one it’s “proven” to is you, nance, face it…you’ll never be in the same league….never ever….ever…
when it comes to witty remarks you are still at the start line choking on the dust of those who have already crossed the finish…and copy pasting their remarks…
