Oh, Chan, you little devil. You sly, handsome little devil. The actor pretended to be a homely marketing rep named Scott (ugh, Scott) who asked viewers a series of questions for “research purposes.” He really goes the extra mile to make his interviewees feel generally uncomfortable. Also, be sure to listen for the slight hint of genuine sadness in his voice when one woman says the best actor in the first movie was Matthew McConaughey. Chan partnered with charity fundraising platform Omaze to create this video, which promotes a new[ charity campaign](http://www.omaze.com/experiences/magic-mike-xxl "undefined"). (Those who donate can enter for the chance to attend the _Magic Mike XXL_ premiere and after-party with Chan himself.) About two and a half minutes into the video, Chan reveals his true identity, and everyone just begins thirsting for him _immediately_. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3905056/magic-mike-xxl-channing-tatum-pranks-fans/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3905056/magic-mike-xxl-channing-tatum-pranks-fans/"},"headline":"Watch Channing Tatum Prank Magic Mike Fans by Going Undercover as an Old Man","datePublished":"2015-06-02T16:07:38.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:20:37.523Z","description":"It all goes down at a Magic Mike XXL screening","url":"https://time.com/3905056/magic-mike-xxl-channing-tatum-pranks-fans/","keywords":["Newsfeed","celebrity"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Samantha Grossman","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/samantha-grossman/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3905056/magic-mike-xxl-channing-tatum-pranks-fans/","name":"Watch Channing Tatum Prank Magic Mike Fans by Going Undercover as an Old Man"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Magic Mike XXL - Official Teaser Trailer","description":"Magic Mike XXL - Official Teaser Trailer","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/mEyoxYxj/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2015-02-04T15:22:40.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/mEyoxYxj.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/3905056/magic-mike-xxl-channing-tatum-pranks-fans/","duration":"PT1M36S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/3905056/magic-mike-xxl-channing-tatum-pranks-fans/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
