“I had wanted to tell people. I’m not ashamed of it. I don’t regret one thing. I’m not a person who hides s**t. I was young and dumb and stupid and wanted to make a little money.

Channing is currently in the buddy cop comedy 21 Jump Street with co-star Jonah Hill, but his upcoming film Magic Mike actually focuses on Channing’s past as a “dancer.”
