Joe Manganiello's "Magic Mike XXL" co-Star Channing Tatum was recently linked to YouTube poeticalmotion, which contains a 45-minute mix tape titled "2014 Sex Songs Mic "MBedroom Magic" - DN N.A.H."
Posted on Aptil 8, 2013 on YouTube, the sex mix tape video has been viewed more than 4 million times since. Among the 14 songs contained in the video are "Sex Room" by Ludacris featuring Trey Songz, "Sex Ain't Better Than Love" by Trey Songz, "Wet the Bed" by Chris Brown and Ludacris and "Skin" by Rihanna.
In 2014, a video of Tatum stripping was released by US Weekly. In the video taken in 1999, Tatum was performing at a Chippendales-style revue called Male Encounter at a now-defunct Florida nightclub wearing a neon thong but did not go completely nude because of the revue's strict no-nudity policy.
At the time, Tatum was working as a stripper under the alias "Chan Crawford" and he was only 18. Now 34, Tatum voiced the character Joaquin in 20th Century Fox and Reel FX's animated fantasy "The Book of Life" with Diego Luna voicing the character Manolo and the "Guardians of the Galaxy" star Zoe Saldana for the character Maria's voice.
"Personally, I like being pushed into corners. Being a stripper exposed me to a lot of people I might never have met, and that has turned out to be a gift," Tatum said in a previous interview with The New York Times' T Magazine.
Noting that struggling with poverty forced him to be creative, the actor also told the magazine that there many characters he feels he can play as a result.
