I love me a dose of testosterone! And when it is backed by the likes of Channing Tatum, I am all tingly.

So in torrential rains, I hit the pavement – thermals, water proof boots and umbrella in hand, to cover the new “Fighting” film, which was scheduled to have its world premiere last night.

And I wasn’t the only one. It seemed the buzz for Channing’s dancer turned fighter turned lover (the fiance Jenna Dewan materialized) transition brought out a bevy of paps and film crews – enough to fill a tent! Wow.

I did, however, find myself shocked at how chubby he looked… I expected the toned physique that has come to be his trade mark.

Well all is forgiven – he is still yum-ness! So to offset the transition in physique, below are some additional stills from his modeling days. Enjoy!
