The up-and-coming actor, who seems to be known just as much for his handsome looks as his bad-boy reputation, will play a stripper in a movie inspired by Channing Tatum's life, Deadline.com reported.

Tatum, the 31-year-old star of such movies as "Step Up" and "G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra," has been forthcoming about his decision to turn to stripping in order to make money before finding Hollywood success.

Both hunky stars will be featured in the Steven Soderbergh-directed film, called "Magic Mike," where Tatum will play the title character, who will mentor Pettyfer's character.
