It’s always a delight to take a walk down memory lane, witnessing sweet childhood pictures and reminiscing about those times! Just like The Fly Me to the Moon star Channing Tatum, who posted a series of throwback photos on Instagram on July 28.
“Hehehe, these popped up on my phone. Man, how many lifetimes ago was this,” he captioned the carousel of four photos. The first shot was a young Tatum dressed in an oversized brown trench coat and jeans, with a brown wide-brim hat nearly covering his eyes as he grinned at the camera.
Then, a young Tatum smiled in what appeared to be an elementary school portrait in the third photo, followed by the actor’s umbrella handle in the fourth and final photo. The sweet post update came a day after the official Magic Mike Live Instagram account posted footage of the Magic Mike’s Last Dance star joining the Las Vegas cast onstage to dance.
