As you know, before world fame, Tatum worked as a model and stripper. In 2000, he auditioned and won a role in the video for the song She Bangs by popular singer Ricky Martin. 20-year-old Channing was cast as a bare-chested bartender (of course!).
Filming took place in the Bahamas and lasted 5 days. The young actor received $400 for the work. Channing appears three times in the video, but only for a few seconds, so it’s easy to miss those moments. We’ll make it easy for you – catch the muscular hunk in action at 1:04, 1:31 and 2:59.

Interestingly, the clip has been viewed over 65 million times since its release, but how many noticed Channing in it?
Filming with Martin definitely helped Channing’s career. After appearing in the video, he received several modeling contracts, including those with GAP, Armani and Dolce & Gabbana. Then his film career began. Today, the actor receives more solid fees – up to 30 million dollars per film.
