These men who seem to have “lost their magic” are put through the hoops in a dance competition that borrows heavily from the style in the 2012 movie ‘Magic Mike.’ As the competition progresses, the men form a close bond and develop as individuals, confident enough to face all of life’s challenges. Johnny Dutch showed incredible progress throughout his time on the show and was ultimately crowned the winner. Naturally, fans are quite curious to know where Johnny is at present, and we come bearing answers!

On ‘Finding Magic Mike,’ Johnny quickly found his footing and stood out among the initial performers. He exhibited immense confidence, while his toned body and athleticism significantly contributed to his success. Talking about his experience on the show, Johnny claimed that it was pretty challenging as the live audience had people from all walks of life who had different fantasies, likes, and dislikes. However, he insisted that the show helped him face his vulnerabilities and develop as a person as he said, “It shows us being vulnerable. It shows us saying, ‘Hey, you like nice today. This looks good on you.’ That’s OK for a man to say that.”
A few episodes into the competition, Johnny was selected to be the most charismatic dancer and even given a partner to perform with. He was quick to pick up challenging choreographies and paid extreme attention to the audience while performing. These qualities paved his way to the season finale, where he won the title of Magic Mike as well as endeared himself to fans.
