Channing Tatum lawsuit

Channing Tatum lawsuit, Channing Tatum has hit back at two strippers who accused him of stealing their life stories for his new film. The actor stripped for cash in his teens and his raunchy former role is the inspiration behind upcoming movie Magic Mike.
Two of the star's fellow former dancers have slammed Tatum, alleging he based the plot on their past rather than his own and used the dances they taught him in several scenes, insisting they should have been hired as consultants on the film.

But the star, who also produced the movie, insists his former colleagues have been trying to cash in on his fame for several years.

He tells The Hollywood Reporter, "Those guys have been trying to make money off of me since I got into this business."

"Look, there's nothing that's factual in this whole movie other than that I was an 18-year-old kid and went into this world and I dropped out of college from playing football and was living on my sister's couch."

"There's not one character that I took from my real life; this is just a world that I went into, and I had a perspective on. And we created everything from a fictional place."
After receiving news that his former fellow strippers — Thomas “Awesome” Austin and London Steele – are claiming that Magic Mike was ripped off their lives, Channing Tatum has stepped forward to address the lawsuit at hand.

“Those guys have been trying to make money off of me since I got into this business,” Tatum, 32, told reporters during a press conference promoting he film. “Literally, London was one of the guys that sold the video.”

That’s not all what the exotic-dancer-turned-actor had to say about the situation.


“Thank God that my friend here saw and we made a movie from it,” Tatum continued, motioning to Magic Mike director Steven Soderbergh.

The movie, which opens June 28, was said to have been created after the Oscar-winning filmmaker learned of Tatum’s real-life experience as a former male stripper.
