CHANNING TATUM NEVER "EVER" WAS or is the real magic mike!!!

---

I had to try to get the word out without too much attention shortly after the first Magic Mike movie came out. I can remember my old co worker Zack Vasquez messaging me on facebook...his "exact" words were "So what does Magic Mike think about the movie Magic Mike"? To which I responded..."What are you talking about"? He then explained they came out with the movie and told me he played a small role as an extra. He wound up playing as an extra in the background for the second when it came out. It didnt take me but 5 minutes into the movie to know exactly who said what and where they got the information they based alot of the movie off of. I had to reach out to some of the dancers from the more older groups that new Channing and Michael Sorrentino to find out what other information and who they based some of the other characters off of. I can tell you this...if Channing was to base the character off of Sorrentino he would've been locked up within the first 3 minutes of the movie for some drug related charge.  Alot of the guys I used to work with when I first started were pretty shady.  

I too, just like Channing, worked with the original Magic Mike, Michael Sorrentino. Except I took over the stage name in late 1999. By the time I was hired Sorrentino was waaaay out of shape and had a long history of drug abuse and legal problems. Also he definitely didnt pop n lock or breakdance, nor did he work for an antiques dealer, manage an auto detail or moving company etc, etc. I would've destroyed any of the guys I worked with in a dance off in a real club and they all knew this.  I was always humble and respected the older guys I worked with even though most of them were dicks.  Many times the other guys would try to sabotage my act by misplacing my cd, or purposely putting overweight girls in my hot seat knowing that I wouldn't be able to pick them up or do any tricks with them. 

Channing had 2 left feet when he started, and he only danced at most for maybe 1 month. When you first start out, you start off as a porter, picking up the guys clothes and setting up the acts. Everyone would tip you at the end of the show and if you were lucky enough they'd let you surf the crowd for tips at the end of the night.  Alot of the owners of the groups were always searching for new guys because most of the ones that worked for them were heavy into drugs,  found a girlfriend and quit or were just straight up unreliable. Alot of the times they'd hire young guys because that meant they could pay them less and take advantage of them.

The truth about Channing is that he couldn't dance for crap, so he barely made any money. He definitely was not in great shape so he took the easy way out and started making solo masturbation videos for gay porn sites out of Los Angeles. At $1500/a video it didnt take him long to gather up the money to sign on with a real agency and hire a dance choreographer to help him learn how to really dance. Channing didnt have the level of experience to create such an elaborate story/movie, he had help from an old co worker of ours named "Tony D".  Tony D is a giant, literally, he reminds me of the devil from the movie "Legend" Lol. Definitely not some ordinary dude. 

None of the guys I ever worked with knew how to freestyle let alone Pop n lock, do any form of gymnastics, kung fu, or breakdance. I was the only one allowed to jam out by the owners of the groups I worked for. Not only was I a great dancer I was 5.5% body fat shredded to the bone. I never told any of the guys I knew kung fu either...thank god...lol.

Although my real friends and old co workers back home in Orlando know I am The Magic Mike they based the character in the movie off of, I still had to sort of downplay as to not attract too much attention. 

When you hear about all these stories of actors like Martin Lawrence, or even Ann Heche telling you they're trying to kill me they're referring to the powers that be. The sleight of hand, the final boss you will never get to see. I value my life and those around me so I realized I would have to wait quite some time until I would be able to disclose the truth. Truth is they tried to kill me too. In broad daylight on TV to use it as a cover up just in case I did wind up hurting myself. They also made sure there was no financial compensation at all whatsoever to avoid any litigation if anything did happen to me. When that wasn't successful they had someone waiting for me in the dressing room to try to intimidate me.  A friend and old coworker, Jesus Villa, of team half animal and one of Cirque De Soleil's most decorated entertainers, wasnt so lucky that day. You'll have to read my book when I do publish it to find out the rest. I have way too many stories and info to publish for free. Especially after Channing came out with the overly exaggerated opera of a Magic Mike male review, LOLOL,  he milked it for every last penny.
