PHOTOS: Back When Channing Tatum Was an 18-Year-Old Stripper
It was called Male Encounter, and it’s the adult men’s dance troupe Channing Tatum’s agent would’ve preferred everyone forget about. Back in 1999, a then-18-year-old Tatum was paying the rent (in his pre-Mountain Dew days) by dancing for dollars — earning $50 a night, plus tips. Predictably, “the women went crazy for him,” says the owner of the Chippendales-esque group. And while the singing-and-stripping act may be a slight blemish on any budding Hollywood actor’s IMDB listing, something suggests G.I. Joe‘s $56,000,000 opening weekend will make those worry warts disappear.

Aahh, strippers…truly doing God’s work by allowing unfortunate looking, very old, or extremely horny people an opportunity to fondle ‘Heaven’ for the price of a dollar. Say what you want, but I think it’s a mitzvah.
Not that I fit into any of those categories (well, maybe horny on ocassion), but I do think that talented strippers don’t get the respect they deserve…puttin’ smiles on peoples faces.
Interesting #1 that his name was “Chan Crawford” close to Chase…..and that #2 a fellow member of his troupe was Riff Raff………from RHPS!!!
And he is still hotter than all the jealous queens on here ready to crucify him…..
@terrwill: LOL!!!!!! The other guy DOES look like Riff!!!
I don’t really care if he was a stripper when he was 18. It is a job that pays the bills, especially if you are good at it.
This is just like Flashdance…with extra package.
He is the new Patrick Swayze, except even hotter. And he got his dick out.
Personally I don’t care but I do have to laugh at the hypocrisy of women being crucified for stripping and men being praised for it.
He also can’t act for shit. He’s cute though.
Where the hell is the UNCENSORED version?!
well, he was 18.probably struggling to make ends meet. I’d strip just for the fun of it.It looks hella fun.
where is the uncensored version?!!
