He was a pirate !!!
And a famous one indeed. I m sure that you have all heard about this movie “Magic Mike” which tells a story inspired by Channing Tatum’s old career as a stripper. So it is kind a crazy that not only he became an actor after stripping all those years, someone made a movie telling about it.
So while Channing was stripping what were the rest of the cast doing?
Apparently it was “True Blood” star Joe Manganiello that had the weirdest job. He was promoting Captain Morgan rums while dressed as Captain Morgan himself. Not only this is not crazy enough he said that he has done that when he was 16.
When one of his friends give him a call saying she needed someone and was gonna pay $25 per hour Magnaiello jumps on the opportunity and starts dressing as a pirate, promoting alcohol at the bars while using a fake I.D.
lets read the story that he told on an Entertainment Weekly interview that he gave earlier this week.
When I was 16 years old, a friend called me up in a panic. She used to book these promotional jobs, and she said, “We had a guy cancel last minute. Can you please step in?” And I said, “Okay, sure. What do you want me to do?” She goes, “Well, we’ll pay you $25 an hour,” — when you’re 16, I mean s–t — “And when you get here, if anyone asks how old you are, just say you’re 21.”
So I had my mom drive me down because I didn’t have a license. She drops me off, and I go in, and there’s this group of adults, and this guy turns to me and goes, “You’re the guy?” And I go, “Oh, yeah.” And he goes, “How old are you?” And I go, “21.” So he says, “Put this on.” And he hands me this pirate suit: the wig, the eyepatch, the beard, the ruffles, the sword, the cape. And I’m gonna go be Captain Morgan at a couple of bars. And he goes, “These are your two wenches.” And it’s these hot college girls. And they gave me this tank, this backpack that they strapped on, and they filled it with rum, and it had a tap on it, and they were like, ‘Go get everybody drunk.’
I’m 16, so I’m a little timid. I’m just worried about going to jail. So at the first bar, I was kind of scared. But then the girls were like, “Come over here!” And we all started drinking off the tap. By the time [we got to] the second or the third bar, one of the bars had those cowboy doors. And by then I was f–king lit, and I was feeling it. So I kick those cowboy doors in and I go, “AAARRRGH!” And the whole bar full of adults turns and goes, “AAARRRGH!” And it was on. I’m leaning on the bar, squirting [the rum] in their mouths, squirting it in mine. I was singing Marilyn Manson covers with the band by the end.
The problem was that Seagrams called the next day. And I thought, “We’re all dead. We’re all going to jail.” But they said they didn’t want to do the promotion unless I was Captain Morgan. They loved me. So I got this guy’s ID who was 10 years older than me, and I was Captain Morgan in Pittsburgh from 16 to 21.
I honestly believe that this would make a better movie than Magic Mike.
