    Just A Reminder That Channing Tatum Used To Be A Male Model

    Working those Chillax Boardroom LAX Bro vibes.

    Sure, these days Channing Tatum is known as the sexy floor-humping stripper from Magic Mike. BUT DID YOU KNOW...

    He started out as MAAAAALEEEEE MODDDDDEEEEELLLLLL?

    Yep, that's Channing Tatum-ing during a fashion show for Sean "Puffy" Combs' line Sean John in 2003.

    Here it is in action.

    He modeled for Russell Simmons' label Phat Farm, too.

    And then there was the time he played the World's Sexiest Chicken Mascot for Abercrombie & Fitch.

    Here he is getting his inner bro on for them in a separate campaign.

    TBH it looks like he's having a little bit of an existential crisis here.

    Kinda unhappy, CTates.

    I call this look "Chillax Boardroom LAX Bro."

    But he can also give straight Blue Steel.

    Look at that intenssssity.

    And yes, maybe he's moved on to bigger and better things.

    But we'll always have this terrible denim blazer.
