It seems like Channing Tatum’s friends are a little angry about his supposed biopic…

TMZ is reporting that two ex-male strippers who once worked with Tatum are saying that the actor completely stole their story for his new film, MAGIC MIKE

Thomas “Awesome” Austin and London Steele say the film is based off of their lives more than Tatum’s, even down to the title of “Magic Mike”, which is a name Austin says he gave another dancer.

Austin says that while he and his buddies are happy for Tatum’s success, they wish he would have at least involved them in the film somehow.  They claim they took Tatum under their wings when he was a nobody and taught him all their special stripper-moves.

Tatum has claimed that the film is partially based on his real-life experiences as a dancer in Florida. Austin says in response, “He only danced for 4 months. How many events could have happened to him?”
