8 Stars Who Used to Be Strippers

It's no secret that heartthrob Channing Tatum used to be a stripper, but he's not the only one in Hollywood with that particular vocation on his résumé. The Frisky unveils seven more:

• Javier Bardem: He claims his stint as a stripper lasted just 10 minutes, and that his mother was in the audience. He was a struggling actor at the time, and looking for cash.
• Mark Consuelos: The soap star and husband to Kelly Ripa stripped while a student at the University of South Florida.

• Jeff Timmons: If you're thinking, "Who is Jeff Timmons?" you're not alone. He was once a member of 98 Degrees, but ended up doing a stint with the Chippendales after the boy band broke up.
• Joey Lawrence: The Blossom star has stripping in his future, not his past: The 36-year-old joins up with the Chippendales in Las Vegas next month.
