'Magic Mike' Cast: Where Are They Now?

Channing Tatum ‘s Magic Mike took movie theaters by storm in 2012, and the franchise boosted the profiles of nearly the entire cast. Nearly a decade later, the stars of the film continue to headline Hollywood hits. Magic Mike follows the titular character, Mike Lane (Tatum), as he makes ends meet any way he can — from handyman jobs to detailing cars.

Mike takes Adam ( Alex Pettyfer ), a fresh-faced 19-year-old, under his wing to help him find success in the business. However, there are downsides to being the star of an all-male revue. The comedic drama, which was directed by Steven Soderbergh , was loosely inspired by Tatum’s time as a stripper before he got his big break in Hollywood. “It’s not all my life, but it’s definitely all my experiences,” the Step Up star told The Hollywood Reporter in February 2012 ahead of the movie’s release. “I basically poured all my memories and stories out.
