It's Not Hot in Here, It's Just These Sexy Channing Tatum Movie Moments
Channing Tatum turns 36 this week and can't think of a better way to celebrate than with plenty of onscreen eye candy. In Magic Mike XXL, he made us swoon with his sexy strip routines, but Tatum's dance moves first won hearts back in 2006 with Step Up — including the heart of his costar-turned-wife, Jenna Dewan. Since then, the heartthrob has shown that he can look hot no matter what he's wearing, whether it's a uniform, a swimsuit, or little more than a tie. Heck, he even charmed us in She's the Man. Take a look at Channing Tatum's sexiest movie moments over the years!
