Channing Tatum-A Cocky troublemaker

The former high school classmate revealed that Channing, 38 was a goofy kid and invariably formed the center of attention. Channing was in a Catholic high school which was located in Tampa, Florida. He was nicknamed Chan. The insider also said of Channing:
“He was cocky, He had more of a macho man personality, He was obsessed with his looks.”
But Channing was still well-liked by his class despite his varied mischiefs. He was never the teacher’s pet and always landed himself in trouble with them, the source added. He particularly used to be taken to task for answering back to his teachers. But his family always accepted him. His sister Paige is proud of her brother.
The punishment for Channing
Channing was in the 1998 high school class and they all had to complete a total of 80 hours of community service in order to obtain graduation. But Channing had to do more as a punishment for his many detentions.
The source said:
“He was put in the office a lot and he had to do filing, and answer the phone after school.”
Channing used to party a lot in high school and was in trouble for his booze habit. He used to smell of booze the next day morning and received punishment for it.
Tatum still managed to win the hearts of the people around him. He was extremely popular in his class and was often in the in-crowd, the insider said.

The two were together for 3 years before calling it quits. He was also in the high school bodybuilding competitions.
The source said:
