Director Steven Soderbergh took audiences behind the curtain of the male strip club scene, using star Channing Tatum's own real-life experiences working in the industry as inspiration, in the film Magic Mike. The R-rated drama made more $167 million at the box office, spawned a sequel in 2015 aptly titled Magic Mike XXL, inspired an ongoing live show in Las Vegas, and an even a reality show competition on HBO Max. Tatum also confirmed that a third installment is in the works in 2021.

Sarah is currently a professional child wrangler. When she is not running around on the playgrounds and slapping together PB&J sandwiches, she loves getting a good sweat in at the gym, singing, and going to see live theatre (while simultaneously dreaming about being a part of a stage creation again one day).
