By now we all know that Channing Tatum had a brief stripping career before his breakthrough in ‘Step Up’. But now, we have video evidence!

This clip is sending Chan fans into a frenzy. The video, filmed in 1999 when Tatum was 18, first surfaced online in 2009. However, now that the Magic Mike sequel Magic Mike XXL is in production, it is doing the rounds once more. And we’re cool with that.

Channing Tatum, aka Chan Crawford, strips to practically nothing, throws down some impressive dance skills …all while he has his hands down his jocks.

Now that’s a pro!

Thanks for bringing this to our attention, Us Weekly!
