“Magic Mike” is the newest movie to watch our for Channing Tatum after “21 Jump Street.” Channing plays the role of Mike, an experienced stripper who raises money to start his own business. The description didn’t seem interesting to us, either, so don’t worry, there’s nothing wrong with you.
Channing, however, claims that there’s more to the movie than sexually charged sequences. He recently declared in an interview that the production wanted to point to the fact that strippers are normal people with normal aspirations.
Channing confessed that he can understand the movie because he used to be a stripper before he started his acting career. Just like his costar, Matthew McConaughey, the “21 Jump Street” star resorted to stripping in order to make a living, but he never liked taking his clothes off. The past experience turned out to be useful as the actor could better interpret his character. In addition, he learned a lot about men and women and he even enjoyed living on the dark side for a while.
