I've been working at different things lately. So let's go. Session one. His final slide only featured text with the words, "Sloppy floor work but was tired ahah. F sake. But life always an exploration. Let's go. Tatum has a long history with dance, dating back to his days as a stripper in Tampa, Florida. Since then, he's appeared as a backup dancer in Ricky Martin's "She Bangs" music video, and later played Tyler Gage in his breakout role in 's Step Up.
Directed by Oscar-winner Steven Soderbergh , "Magic Mike" proved as much a hit among critics as it did with party-night moviegoers. Still, as many times as you've re-watched and hit freeze-frame on the movie, there's plenty you may not know about how the film came together.
Tatum has said he stripped for only eight months, when he was 18 and living in Tampa. Of stripping, he said, "It's not something I'm proud of, but it's not something I'm ashamed of. In developing his semi-autobiographical movie, Tatum initially wanted Nicolas Winding Refn , of " Drive " fame, to direct. The Danish director was interested but ultimately unavailable.

Another guy was a lawyer and had three kids. But let's be honest here, folks—this is a Stephen Soderbergh film—and Soderbergh does not use sex and titillation gratuitously.
The plot is compelling, the film is well written and masterfully directed, and Channing Tatum proves that he is much, much more than a hot body and a pretty face. For his sake, here's hoping that "Magic Mike" can propel him along a career path similar to those of other handsome actors who managed to overcome "Movie Star" looks to prove that they were genuine actors.
