Channing Tatum – 41

Growing up, Channing Tatum dealt with dyslexia and attention deficit disorder (ADD). He had trouble performing well in school but poured his efforts into sports and martial arts. Tatum was on a football scholarship at Glenville State College, but he dropped out and started working odd jobs.

He quit work as a roofer and became an adult entertainer at a local nightclub in Australia. Tatum eventually moved to Miami, where a talent agent discovered him, and the rest is history. His earlier roles include She’s The Man and Step-up, where he shared the screen with his ex-wife Jenna Dewan. He has upcoming roles in Dog, Lost City D, and Wingmen.
