When it comes to dancing and stripping in movies, there is one actor who stands above the rest – Channing Tatum. With his background as an exotic dancer before he made it big, Tatum has not only mastered the art of stripping, but he has also used his experiences to inspire the successful Magic Mike franchise. In a recent interview, Tatum confidently declared himself the best dancer in the industry, even challenging Jennifer Lopez, his co-star in the Magic Mike franchise.

Having spent his younger years as a trained dancer in clubs in Tampa, Florida, Tatum showcased his impressive skills and discussed his stripper prowess in a Vanity Fair interview. Tatum firmly asserted that he is a better stripper than his Magic Mike co-star, Joe Manganiello. While he praised Manganiello’s flawless physique, Tatum credited his own background as an exotic dancer for giving him an edge in terms of dance technique.

But Tatum didn’t stop there – he also claimed to be superior to Jennifer Lopez, who starred in the movie Hustlers, another film centered around stripping. Despite both actors starting their careers as background dancers in Hollywood, Tatum stood his ground, insisting that his stripping skills were better than Lopez’s. He even went as far as saying he would go harder than Lopez in a strip-off and take the competition to her front door.

While Tatum acknowledged that the outcome might depend on the audience’s preference, he firmly believed in his ability to outperform Lopez. With the Magic Mike movies currently streaming on Max, fans can see Tatum’s incredible dancing skills in action.

So, who would come out on top in a strip-off between Channing Tatum and Jennifer Lopez? That’s a showdown we’d all love to see!
