Sadly, they wouldn’t have made it in “Magic Mike XXL”

Channing Tatum may be Hollywood’s number 1 leading man right now but he still has to shill his movies. “Magic Mike XXL” is out in theaters as of this week, and he promoted it with Vanity Fair by doing what he does best: dancing.

Before you get too excited over this, don’t. Tatum did 7 dances in 30 seconds for the magazine, as the video below will show, but unfortunately, not one of them would have made the cut for the film. So, if you were expecting him to start removing clothes, bad news: you will have to pay the ticket price for that.

Channing actually got his start in showbiz with the “Step Up” dancing movies, which required a lot of skill in terms of dancing but only a minimal dose of acting talent. Before that, he had made a living as an exotic dancer, an experience that he drew on for the script of the first “Magic Mike” movie.

Since then, he’s done action movies and rom-coms and even more serious roles, which have put him on the map as one of the most versatile and popular actors of the day. “Magic Mike XXL” will only drive his career further, as it’s expected to make a killing at the box office over the extended 4th of July weekend.

Until then, here is Channing getting a bit silly for Vanity Fair. Because who doesn’t love a silly and hot guy who can move like that?
