10. Stepping Up
Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan met in 2006 on the set of the hit dance movie Step Up when they were both 26. They had immediate chemistry, but it wasn’t easy for Channing to make a move on his co-star because he knew it wouldn’t just be casual. “I had just gotten out of a pretty long relationship, so I was in no way ready for another. I was trying to run from what I knew Jenna was – not someone I was just going to date,” he told Elle. Luckily, a friend talked him out of his fear and asking Jenna out, and “that night I showed up at her hotel room with a sombrero on, and that was it.”
