A pre-stardom Channing Tatum dances!

An US Weekly story about Channing Tatum dancing in a Chippendale’s type club in Florida when he was 18 broke a few days ago and I greeted it with a big yawn.

I mean, grainy pics of him in his skivvies a decade ago aren’t near as sexy as some of the more recent images of him mostly undressed.

Then US Weekly released a video of the actual dancing and I got more interested. Wearing ridiculously oversized clothes, Channing – going by the name of Chan Crawford – showed some great dancing moves as he took off all but a g-string.

He’s a natural!

UPDATE: Here is a LINK to the video. Sorry, the autoplay from earlier was driving everyone – including me – absolutely niuts.
