About Channing Tatum
Before honing his right hook for G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra and Fighting, you could witness him outdancing his co-stars in Step Up. Channing has gone a long way from his hip-gyrating, popped collar modeling days to being one of Hollywood’s hottest up-and-coming actors, from stripper to Abercrombie & Fitch. Channing is making the shift from heartthrob hero to incredibly brilliant movie star now that he has a gorgeous wife by his side.
With an estimated net worth of $85 million, Channing Tatum ranks among the wealthiest Hollywood actors of his generation.
Dear Old Alabama
Channing, a down-to-earth Southern boy born just outside of Birmingham, Alabama, was a curious youngster who frequently got himself in trouble. Channing’s parents believed that by enrolling him in several team sports, such as football and baseball, their son may learn responsibility, helping them to control his wild nature.
They connected, and Channing dove headfirst into the world of football in an effort to get a college scholarship based on his pigskin prowess. Channing, who is not one to back down from a challenge, did just that, and during his senior year of high school, he was sought after by West Virginia’s Glenville State College.
Channing enrolled in college but dropped out before securing a few usual jobs for college dropouts, including stripper, mortgage broker, and construction worker. Things began to improve when he dabbled in a variety of odd jobs when a modeling agent spotted him in Miami. In place of the females, Channing soon started to strip for the cameras. He was hired for print work by Abercrombie & Fitch (a biographical detail he wants to keep to himself), Gap, and Nautica. He also worked as a thirst-quencher in television commercials for Pepsi and Mountain Dew.
An effective right hook
A visage like Channing’s was unmistakably intended for the general populace. He then got his first TV part in a CSI: Miami episode before getting a part in Coach Carter with Samuel L. Jackson. However, Channing landed a role in She’s the Man starring Amanda Bynes that catered to his target audience.
Channing continued acting in films like A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints (2006), Stop-Loss (2008), and Fighting (2009) without completely catering to the teen market before becoming a huge success with G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra (2009).
Revolutionary Dance
Channing, though, also engaged in some conflict of a different nature when he wasn’t showing off his fighting prowess. He co-starred with actress and dancer Jenna Dewan in the dance movie Step Up in 2006. The on-screen duo had an undeniable dancing chemistry as Dewan’s prim and proper Nora and Tyler’s tough and independent Tyler, respectively. After the movie was finished, Channing and Jenna started dating, and two years later, he proposed in Maui, without trying to suppress the evident chemistry between them. The couple traveled to Malibu in 2009 to say their “I Do’s” on a stunning wine estate.
The married man has since switched from casting a love net to a Hollywood-wide net. Channing has come a long way since his football days, transitioning from hawking Pepsi to bona fide Hollywood heartthrob. However, we have a sense that this man with the pronounced jaw will continue to live a long life.
“I wanted to be able to tell my grandkids one day, ‘Hey, your grandpa ran into a burning building and survived.'”
