Channing Tatum is going to Harvard -- sort of

You're never too old -- or too famous -- to learn something new.

At least that's the lesson "Magic Mike" star Channing Tatum is sharing the world, as he has enrolled in one of the Harvard Business School's executive education courses, the graduate school announced via Facebook Thursday.


Tatum and his famous pals are taking part in the Business of Entertainment, Media and Sports program, which "provides proven approaches for marketing creative products and portfolios, managing and marketing talent, determining when to make smaller versus blockbuster bets and identifying and capitalizing on market disruptions," according to the school's website. The class is overseen by professor Anita Elberse, who couldn't help bragging about her high-profile pupils.

As part of the first day of class, Tatum found himself participating a bit more than he might've been planning, as Elberse used the actor, producer and former stripper as a focal point, asking the rest of the class to brainstorm ways that he could innovate in the film industry.
