Channing Tatum, a renowned actor, has achieved numerous milestones in his film career. However, Magic Mike stands out as his most culturally significant work.
Magic Mike, the first movie in the series, hit the screens in 2012. The film features Channing in the role of Mike Lane, a stripper in Florida striving to make a living.
The movie, which draws inspiration from Channing’s own stint as an 18-year-old stripper in Tampa, was a blockbuster. It raked in over $167 million globally against a budget of $7 million. Consequently, two sequels were released: Magic Mike XXL in 2015 and Magic Mike’s Last Dance in 2023.
In spite of Magic Mike’s overwhelming success, Channing recently confessed his apprehension about his 11-year-old daughter, Everly, discovering this chapter of his career.
On his recent appearance on Late Night with Seth Meyers, the 44-year-old actor shared his experiences from his and Everly’s visit to Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour in Los Angeles last August. He confessed that he was dancing like he never had before.
Given Channing’s well-known history as a dancer, Seth Meyers couldn’t resist teasing him about his statement. Seth responded, “That’s a lot coming from you.”
Seth then cautioned that Everly discovering Magic Mike was only a matter of time, and it wouldn’t be because Channing showed her. This led Channing to comment, “It’s gonna be horrifying” when that day eventually arrives.
Magic Mike isn’t the only dance film in Channing’s repertoire. He met Everly’s mother while filming Step Up. However, Jenna confessed last year that their daughter showed no interest when she watched the 2006 hit movie for the first time.
