Bringing the magic! Channing Tatum made an appearance at the L.A. Pride Parade on Sunday, June 14, and brought his Magic Mike XXL costars with him for one sexy show.
The 21 Jump Street star, 35, jumped on a float with Matt Bomer and Adam Rodriguez, who play fellow Magic Mike XXL male strippers Ken and Tito, respectively. Joined by an army of shirtless hunks, the three actors twerked on a float themed for their movie, complete with disco balls and blasting music.

Rocking a rainbow bandana around his neck, Tatum showed off some of his famed moves during the celebratory event. He dusted off a track from 2012’s blockbuster original, and broke it down to Ginuwine‘s 1996 jam “Pony.”
Tatum’s costar Bomer, who came out as gay in 2012, jammed along with his pal as the float went by. Tatum took to Twitter to share a snapshot of himself with Bomer, Rodriguez and their ripped cohorts, captioning the shot, “I’M ON A FLOAT! Celebrated #LAPRIDE45 today with the #MagicMikeXXL crew.”
The father to 2-year-old daughter Everly with wife of 5 years Jenna Dewan-Tatum, took on two new roles — producer and screenwriter — with the upcoming steamy sequel, after leading the first movie alongside Matthew McConaughey, Joe Manganiello, and Alex Pettyfer.
“It’s an odyssey, we like to call it,” he told Entertainment Tonight of the project, which famously follows the stripper with a heart of gold. “It’s like The Iliad. It’s a stripper odyssey.”
Due out on July 3, Magic Mike XXL follows the huge, runaway success of Magic Mike. Directed by Steven Soderbergh, the surprise hit brought in $167.2 million worldwide on a slim $7 million budget, and quickly became a cult classic amongst viewers.
