Starring in the 2012 flick “Magic Mike” must have been smooth sailing for actor Channing Tatum because he used to work as a stripper before becoming a star. “I did this for about eight months of my life and I told (director Steve) Soderbergh about it, and he was just like, ‘Look, we have to make this into a movie,” said Tatum to MTV News. ‘And I was like, ‘Why?’ and then he’s like, ‘Because I’ve never seen it before.’”![Matthew McConaughey]()
