Channing Tatum’s Former Life As A Male Stripper
Did you know that Channing Tatum, hottie star of G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra, used to be a stripping go-go dancer? That’s right, US Weekly managed to scrounge up the incriminating photos of Channing, who used to go by the stage name Chan Crawford, when he was a member of the male-revue show called Male Encounters back in 1999. Unfortch for the lucky folks who got to see Chan in action with Male Encounters, the revue had a “no nudity” policy … but Chan did strip down to his undies … behold:
Apparently, Channing danced with Male Encounters for about a year and made $50 a night (plus tips). As exciting as this may sound to fans, his stint as a go-go boy ain’t nearly as interesting as his stint as a nude model. Yes, Channing used to model for high end fashion photoshoots that sometimes required that he be nekkid … for artistic purposes. After the jump, check out a couple examples of his NSFW work which included both frontal and rear nudity …
Le sigh. Longtime fans of Channing Tatum should be well aware of these photos (which have been circulating on the Internets for years) but I figured they were worth mentioning for those of you who weren’t aware that they existed. ALL photos of Channing Tatum should be seen by as many people as possible … most especially the nekkid ones ;) Of his two former professions, I think I prefer his nekkid modeling over his go-go dancing … tho, I wouldn’t mind checkin’ out his moves from back in the day ;)

Who are the other dancers who identities are being protected? Why is Channing fair game, but not them, US Weekly? Intriguing….
