Before becoming one of the most popular matinée idols of the present, Channing Tatum led an ordinary adolescent life.

He consequently obtained a football scholarship to West Virginia’s Glenville State College. He left school and started working odd jobs before being discovered; the rest is history. Tatum made his acting debut in the dance movie “Step Up” and then appeared in movies including “21 Jump Street,” “G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra,” and “The Lost City.”

Tom Cruise is one of the most well-known and wealthy actors in the world, with his films grossing more than $10 billion globally. People are unaware of his disastrous past, which helped him succeed.

He was inspired by this incident to take the lead in their high school musical “Guys and Dolls.” At the moment, Cruise made the decision to pursue an acting profession, and he later rose to fame in Hollywood. Two of his most popular movies are “Mission: Impossible – Fallout” and “Risky Business.”
