Seven years later and the cat's finally out of the bag...or on national television.

Channing Tatum took on the role of guest host at Jimmy Kimmel Live on Wednesday and let Ellen DeGeneres in on a little confession. Apparently, the Magic Mike actor's father found out his son was an exotic dancer after Tatum gave DeGeneres a lap dance on her show back in 2010.

Talk about awkward...but then again where the hell has he been? There's been two movies and a Las Vegas show inspired by it.

The daytime host was surprised, but looked at the bright side of the things. He's made a career out of his old stripping days.
