Meet The Real Life Magic Mike Stripper

Male stripper who looks just like Channing Tatum makes more than $3,000 a weekend

Will Parfitt, 27, who was born in London but now lives in Australia, is a removalist by day but has spent the past three years stripping off at weekends.

Will started out as a topless waiter and learned his erotic moves on the job.ย He has attracted hundreds of adoring fans thanks to his uncanny likeness to Channing Tatum, who played a stripper in the Magic Mike movies.

Will Parfitt's real-life story is almost exactly the same as Channing Tatum's.ย But he revealed stripping isn't something he ever really set out to do.

โ€œI met a club promoter who started calling me โ€˜Channingโ€™ as a joke. I didn't really take him seriously – he was the one who introduced me to Magic Men,โ€ he told Daily Mail Australia.

Will strips withย Magic Men, a Melbourne-based agency which specializes in nights out, from hen parties to one-off private events.

If you saw the Magic Mike movies and not-so-secretly hoped someone would make it a reality, youโ€™re not alone. Will and his tempting, flirtatious and exciting team, Magic Men have brought the phenomenon of Magic Mike, Fifty Shades of Grey and others to life with a high-energy and breathtaking lavish experience unlike any other.

During the โ€˜busy seasonโ€™, usually between October and April, Will can perform up to 15 times in one weekend. His show runs for 20 to 30 minutes during which he will strip down to a G-string, or if it's been requested, the full monty.

That's the life of a male stripper I suppose.

Each Magic Man has the body, the moves, personality and the charisma to excite and delight, and before you know it youโ€™re up there with your own Magic Man dancing your heart out.ย Admittingly starting out with little to no professional dance experience, Willโ€™s weekends with Magic Men over the past few years have turned him into one of the most popular requests, with his stage name influencing his dance and stripper style.
