If you tuned into Married At First Sight on Wednesday night, one man stole the show at Bec Zachariah and Danny Hewitt’s wedding. And no, it wasn’t the groom.
As Bec met her husband at the altar, she turned to best man Will Parfitt and asked, “Has anyone ever told you you look like Channing Tatum? Have you seen that stripper that’s making heaps of money?”
Will said he was just as surprised as anyone.
“She caught me off guard, to be honest,” Will told WHO. “I thought she was going to be looking at her new husband.
“When I found out she was from Adelaide, I was just hoping I didn’t recognise the bride,” he joked, admitting he was relieved.
Turns out, Will, who is best mates with MAFS groom Danny, makes a living from looking like Channing Tatum.
Will Parfitt is Channing Tatum’s double
With his rippling muscles and coy grin, Will is the spitting image of Hollywood star, Channing Tatum.
As the frontman of Magic Men, a spin-off show of Magic Mike, Will has travelled around the world performing as an exotic dancer.
However in 2022, Will admitted on The Morning Show that he has taken advantage of his lookalike status for things like restaurant bookings but these days, he’s a star in his own right.
“I feel like when I was first getting noticed on TikTok, a lot of people were obviously commenting the Channing Tatum thing,” Will tells WHO. “And that’s what gave me that engagement and made all my content go a lot more viral. But now a lot of people follow me for me.”
His uncanny likeness has helped him become something of a social media star with an impressive nine million followers on TikTok, eight million on X, and just under three million on Instagram.
Originally from the UK, the 34-year-old was “discovered” by a bar owner whilst backpacking through Australia in 2012 with Danny.
“I started as a topless waiter in Melbourne… I was on a night out, with Danny actually, when a club promoter kept saying, ‘You look like Channing Tatum, you could be his cousin.
“He introduced me to Carlos, who just started this small company called Magic Men.”
It’s unknown if the two have met but we’ll be waiting for that photo op.
Is Will single?
Bad news as both Will and Channing are taken.
Whilst the Magic Mike star has been dating Australian model Inka Williams since April 2025, Will is in a relationship with girlfriend Tania Valeeria.
The couple, who primarily reside in Melbourne and have been together since June 2025, have been on many lavish holidays together including Dubai, Mexico and Miami.
However, alarm bells are starting to go off as filming for MAFS 2026 took place between July 2025- October 2025… so how is it that Will “slept with” Bec’s friend the “other night” when he would’ve been in a relationship?!
