But before finding fame in Hollywood, Channing famously spent much of his teenage years working as an exotic dancer in Tampa, Florida.

Honest: Channing Tatum has admitted he will tell his daughter the truth about his past - including his stint as a male stripper - when she is 'old enough' (pictured in 2015's Magic Mike XXL)

Channing was voted 'most athletic when he graduated from Tampa Catholic High School in 1998, but turned down a football scholarship and instead chose to strip at a now-defunct Florida nightclub.

The actor, who married his Step Up co-star Jenna Dewan in July 2009, eventually caught the eye of a female casting agent who put him in Ricky Martin's She Bangs music video.

Channing was joined by co-star Salma Hayek, who noted that upon the last day of shooting the latest movie - which is set to be released in February - he went 'crazy' after having to restrict his diet to appear in shape on screen.

This comes after Channing detailed his divorce to his ex-wife Jenna and opened up on his relationship with current girlfriend Zoe Kravitz.
