Being a stripper has launched many show
business careers, including Lady Gaga, Carmen Electra, Anna Nicole
Smith, and
Kendra
Wilkinson. Although it is a
rarer choice for men, there have been a few famous male strippers with
ten dollar bills in their jock straps that made it to the big time
including Brad Pitt who was a stripper
in his college days as part of a group called the Dancing Bares. Channing Tatum
also worked
as an exotic dancer under the name Chan Crawford. The star of such movies
as Step Up (2006) and G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra (2009)
surprised and delighted his
fans when in 2010 he told an Australian newspaper that he would like to
make a movie about his experiences as a stripper. He also
apparently delighted
Steven Soderbergh who agreed
to direct the film
Magic Mike based on the Channing's
experiences as a stripper in which he will play an older stripper
who mentors the younger Channing (played by
Alex Pettyfer) in stripping techniques.There was
initially some concern if the biopic includes full front nudity with
Channing's
recently scalded penis which he sustained while
filming a river scene in the The Eagle (2011). As reported in
The Huffington Post, Channing explained "The only way to keep warm was by pouring a mix of
boiling water and river water down your suit. We were finally done
shooting for the day, and one of the crew guys asks if I want to warm up
before I go. I'm like, Nah, I'm good. And then I thought, Why not? Thing
is, he'd forgotten to dilute the kettle water. So he poured scalding
water down my suit. And I was trying to pull the suit away from my body
to somehow get away from the boiling water, and the more I pulled the
suit away, the lower the water went. It just went straight down and
pretty much burned the skin off the head of my dick." He was rushed to
the hospital, put on morphine to cushion the pain and had his blistered
penis treated in the burn unit. A few weeks later Channing reported that
his member was in good standing and explained "I'm
good . . . now," he says with a grin. "Now my penis is fantastic! One
hundred percent recovered. Put me back in the game, Coach."
Channing initially attracted national
attention in his post stripping career as a model appearing in print ad
campaigns for Abercrombie & Fitch, Dolce & Gabbana, and Emporio Armani, and was soon picked as one
of Tear Sheet magazine's "50 Most Beautiful
Faces" of October 2001. Acting offers
soon followed and he made his first film role opposite Samuel L
Jackson in Coach Carter (2005). Other roles
quickly followed including his portrayal of Pretty Boy Floyd in in Public
Enemies (2009) which he won because of his close resemblance to the
gangster.
But to celebrate Channing's birthday, we suggest watching
G.I.Joe:
The Rise of Cobra while downing a bowl of Cobra Chili. Be careful,
this is super hot and don't eat it in the nude in case you suffer a
similar accident to Channing's.
