Here we have, footage of a 1999 performance by Channing Tatum going by the name “Chan Crawford” at a place called Male Encounter. Tatum worked at the Florida nightclub for over a year, where he was “shy at first, but really knew how to work the stage.” “Women went crazy for him!” the dance troupe owner told US Weekly, stating the obvious in 2009. Warning: The video above contains a neon thong.
