Watch Young Channing Tatum Talk Kate Moss, Carbs, And Jocks

Tatum walked during Milan Fashion Week in 2002, expressing his desire to "get into acting" in this flashback clip.

In many ways, 2002 still stands as one of the greatest years of all time. Avril Lavigne released her debut album — the politically conscious Let Go. Joey Fatone delivered an Oscar-worthy performance in My Big Fat Greek Wedding. Researchers in Spain discovered that red wine is a powerful aid in the fight against the common cold. Also, a young Channing Tatum started to spread his worldly charms (see above) during Milan Fashion Week — just three short years before his proper acting debut in the 2005 film Coach Carter.

Calmly admitting that he doesn't believe he has what it takes to "make a million dollars or whatever" as a model, 21-year-old Tatum expresses his then-uncertain desire to "go into acting." When asked about his Milan Fashion Week hopes, Tatum says he would love to meet Kate Moss because she's "got a lot of history." Of course, Tatum's pre-Magic Mikefashion career is well-documented — including campaigns for Dolce & Gabbana, Emporio Armani, and others.

As previously expressed, perhaps we should all learn to stop worrying and love the Mike.
