Channing’s High School Girlfriend Dumped Him For Stripping!
Channing Tatum played a male stripper on the big screen thanks to his role in Magic Mike, but an insider spilled to RadarOnline.com that the macho man began stripping in real life when he was just a teen! According to a source, the actor’s shocking booty-shaking side gig ruined his relationship with his first love, Susan Rawnsley. Jenna Dewan’s ex dated Rawnsley for three years in high school, the source claimed. But his shady night job in Tampa, Florida is what caused Rawnsley to cut off the romance, the source claimed. Click through the gallery to learn more details about Tatum’s naughty escapades and jaw-dropping pictures of him as a scandalous teenager.
A former high school classmate of Jenna Dewan’s ex revealed to RadarOnline.com that he was a “wide-open book” in high school. Shown here is Tatum modeling off tiny black underwear during a high school bodybuilding competition.
Behind the scenes, however, Tatum’s high school girlfriend had no clue he was allegedly stripping for actual nightclubs in Tampa at the age of 18 or 19, claimed the source. “He started stripping while he was dating Susan and she didn’t like that,” the insider spilled.
Rawnsley, now a married mother, and Tatum were seriously in love during the three years they dated as teens, the source told RadarOnline.com. But Rawnsley could not handle his stripping activities. “They broke up a year after he graduated high school in 1999,” the source explained. "She didn't want to be involved in stripping."
