Channing Tatum joins cast of "GI Joe"

I never had a GI Joe as a kid. I'm not sure what that means.

Anyway, hottie Channing Tatum has joined the cast of G.I. Joe: The Movie, according to AICN. He will play Duke, a field commander and second-in-command of the G.I. Joe Team after Hawk. Channing is a former model who has steadily been building up an impressive acting resume with roles in "Step Up," "Coach Carter," and "A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints" The film is scheduled for a summer 2009 release with filming set to begin next month.
