Channing Tatum covered the gay lifestyle magazine OUT in 2012, the year in which Magic Mike made the hunk one of the biggest movie stars on the planet. Tatum also covered the same publication in 2002, before he was famous at all. Many things changed in the ensuing decade, but his good looks weren’t among them. Sporting no shirt and a pair of short shorts, the then-22-year-old model is seen wrestling with another guy wearing nothing but a tank top and tighty whities.

Channing Tatum fans know he modeled for brands like Abercrombie & Fitch and Armani, so shoots like this weren’t out of the ordinary for the aspiring actor.
