True Blood’s Joe Manganiello attended the GQ Men of the Year Event recently and while on the red carpet he was interviewed by Eleven.com.au and TheInsider.com. He talks a bit about his new film Magic Mike, but is very tight lipped (as he must be) about True Blood’s Season 5 even though he says he knows everything that is going to happen in the show’s fifth season. We’ll just have to wait to find out what’s in store for Alcide.
Joe stars in upcoming drama Magic Mike. The feature directed by Steven Soderbergh centres on the exploits of male strippers.
Joe performed six dance routines in the film and has caught the boogie bug as a result.
“Once you start doing it, you want to keep doing it,” Joe explained to E! Online at the GQ Men of the Year party. “You find yourself in the morning going to the gas station, filling up your car with gas and the song [from the Magic Mike dance scene] is playing and you just start dancing. I’m like, ‘Someone in this gas station’s going to get it.’ It’s a lot of fun. There’s probably a Funny Or Die video in there somewhere.“
Joe plays character Big D**k Richie in the film. The actor’s younger brother Nicholas is the butt of many jokes as a result.
“The fact that they’re calling my brother Big D**k Nick at work that makes it completely worth it,” Joe laughed. “They’re like, ‘Big D**k Nick, get the phone!‘”
Magic Mike is an extremely fun filming experience for Joe so far. He begins shooting the fifth season of supernatural series True Blood in about a week and is excited about the show’s developments.
“I know everything that happens to my character [Alcide] pretty much the entire season. I’ve read the first two scripts. There are a lot more werewolves! There are going to be more werewolves for me to play with – some hot-chick werewolves and badass dudes,” he said.
