Channing’s past was a secret for his family until 2010 when his dad found out he worked as a stripper watching The Ellen DeGeneres Show in 2010.
"We were walking together, and my dad said: 'Why? You didn't need the money. We always provided,'" Tatum told The Hollywood Reporter. "I told him it had nothing to do with him. That was my road. That was the road I had to take."
In the same interview, Tatum, now a father to 2-year-old Everly, also recalled his worst experience as a stripper.
"One time, while giving a woman a lap dance the lady goes, 'Oh my God! Look at you! You remind me of my nephew!' -- and then grabs me," he said. "It hit me like a hand grenade. It was like tick, tick, tick, boom: She's grabbing my butt and saying, 'You remind me of my nephew.'"
