Caption Channing Tatum busts a move on ‘The Ellen DeGeneres Show’ on February 10, 2010LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- Channing Tatum may be a Hollywood star now, but the “Dear John” actor hasn’t forgotten his roots.
“You had a job as a dancer, is that right?” Ellen DeGeneres asked him on Wednesday’s episode of “The Ellen DeGeneres Show.”
“I was a stripper,” Channing told Ellen to audience applause. “Look, I’m not proud of it, but I’m not ashamed of it.”
And the news of Channing’s past performances got Ellen curious.
“Did men give lap dances? I don’t know what men strippers do,” she said.
“Yeah, basically you do little shows,” Channing responded, before showing the talk show host a few of his moves.
“Now I’m embarrassed!” he said.
But Channing’s preview wasn’t enough for Ellen.
“I wish I had a dollar,” she said. “If only I had cash, I would have kept you going,” she said.
“Don’t worry, that one was on the house,” Channing said.
