We are lucky to live in the time of Channing Tatum - dancer extraordinaire, deliciously charming actor, and all-around precious man. Over the years, Channing's graced us with countless iconic performances, including a starring role in the very first of all Step Up movies, a genius performance in the 21 Jump Street reboot, and, of course, a fantabstic turn as Mike in Magic Mike and Magic Mike XXL. Today, he turns 36, and we couldn't love him more if we desperately tried. Now sit back, relax, and enjoy the view.
10. That time he was easily the best part of Hail, Caesar! as a tap dancing sailor who is as adorable as he is full of surprises.
9. Seriously, Channing's an amazing dancer. And he often does it sweaty and half naked, which is basically the 8th wonder of the world.

8. And did we mention muscles? Because muscles.

7. One time on Lip Sync Battle he Beyoncéd with Beyoncé. Beyoncé approved to the max.

Also, you should 100 percent watch that whole clip to see just how amazing his wife, Jenna Dewan-Tatum, is too. This family has got it.
6. His performance in 21/22 Jump Street is revelatory and deserving of constant praise. Haters have no place here.

5. And while we're sick of "Let It Go" at this point, he is the single reason we will happily welcome it back into our lives once more.
4. He also made Jupiter Ascending, which is the absolute worst movie that's ever happened combined with a somehow glorious fever dream. For Channing, let's talk about the eyeliner. Also, he had wings and traveled by mystical roller blade. You'll really just have to see the movie.

3. Remember how well he dances? He's an actual dancer. Please do not forget that about Channing Tatum.

2. In fact, he once vogued for his life and gave us life in return.
1. And at the end of the day, he's just Channing, doing his thing and making us all feel warm and fuzzy inside.

Also here he is eating pizza shirtless and holding a cat, because this is what dreams are literally comprised of.
Happy birthday to the most magic man of them all!
