Beastly hottie Alex Pettyfer beat out Twilight heartthrob Taylor Lautner to play a young Channing Tatum in Magic Mike, a film about his stripper beginnings before hitting the big time. According to sources, the actors were battling for the role for some time. So, how did “bad boy” Alex beat out “golden boy” Taylor?
According to E! Online, both Alex and Taylor really wanted the role.
Filmmakers in the Steven Soderbergh movie were reluctant to hire Alex due to rumors of him being an “asshole” and “difficult to work with.” So what made them change their mind?
“He flew himself to New Orleans where Channing is filming 21 Jump rue and blew him away,” the source explains. “He met with Channing and Steven, and they felt he was the perfect guy to fill [Channing's] shoes [...] Steven is all about being real and he sees that in Alex,” our spy says. “Plus, the role is kind of punky, so his badass side will serve that.”
Sounds like Taylor’s good-boy image will stay intact!
Alex will be starring opposite Demi Moore in the film. Sounds like one hot cast!
What do toi guys think of Alex beating out Taylor? Was that the right decision? Sound off below!
toi were playing a song par one of your favori musique acts, and your boyfriend, Taylor, happened to be in the same room as you. He listened to toi sing and strum your guitare as he relaxed in a recliner after a long jour of filming. toi didn't notice him until after toi got done, though. As toi put your guitare up, toi heard something strange. toi looked and looked around. Then, toi saw Taylor, passed out and snoring. He had fallen asleep to the sound of your voice.
toi never thought toi had a good voice. toi never thought toi had a bad voice either. toi thought toi sounded OK. Taylor LOVED hearing toi sing, however. toi couldn't take your eyes off of how adorable he looked. His mouth was nearly a quarter open, which only made him look that much cuter. toi eventually got a blanket and covered him up with it. toi planted a light Kiss on his head before walking out so toi could let him sleep.
