Yep, Channing Tatum Was a Stripper (and Tells Us All About It!)

GLAMOUR: Have you always danced?

CT: I grew up in Florida, which has a huge Spanish population, and there were these quincea?�eras every weekend. I got tired of being the tall, skinny white kid standing in the corner. I've always loved moving and music, so I put them together.

GLAMOUR: You're in five movies this year. Has that been overwhelming?

CT: The fun part is making the film; it's promoting the movies that's overwhelming. But for Magic Mike, we're going to do some creative stuff, like put on an actual strip show.

GLAMOUR: If you do that, you will actually break the Internet, in a good way.

CT: [Laughs.] "In a good way."

GLAMOUR: What do you and your wife do for quality time?

CT: My wife and I go camping. There are no cell phones, no TV, no iPad, no nothing. We just sit by the campfire, and sip wine or beer, and talk.

GLAMOUR: Has being in movies changed how people treat you?

CT: I'm not like Elvis! Nobody's crying in front of me. The weirdest thing is when fans come up and hand you their phone and are like, "Here, talk to my friend."

GLAMOUR: Who does that?

CT: You'd think it's kids, but no, it's mainly straight-up 50-year-old women. Next time that happens, I'm just going to put it in my pocket and walk home.
