Behind The Scenes Of Channing Tatum's Out Cover Shoot

Hunky McHunkster and stripper extraordinaire Channing Tatum allowed the cameras to roll behind the scenes during his Out magazine June/July cover shoot, and between poses talked about the making and inspiration of Magic Mike, which to the delight of gays and gals hits theatres on June 29. Tatum explains, "We modeled it (Magic Mike) after Saturday Night Fever, so it is a really simple story and I think it's effective. The movie is meant to be fun, and we wanted to make it feel like a real (male) review, but not glamorized. We didn't want it to feel like the Chippendales."
