Joe ManganielloThe big question on everybody’s mind is of course Who will Sookie end up with? According to Joe Manganiello his character Alcide is the best choice.

Zap2it spoke with Joe Manganiello, who wouldn’t say that he thinks Sookie and Alcide are meant for each other — but he did acknowledge that he’s the “smartest choice for her in the long run.” When viewers meet up with the couple again, Manganiello teases that “they’re playing house.”

“I think Alcide is such a good guy and the smart choice, I guess,” Manganiello says. “He was the one who never hurt Sookie the way the other vampires had, and really always had, I think, her best interests at heart. That made me happy to see that.”

Just don’t expect happiness to last very long. “Nobody stays happy in Bon Temps for too long,” Manganiello teases. “If everyone was happy, there would be no drama. It’s going to get crazy, and there’s going to be a definite wrap up of all the storylines on the show going all the way back to Season 1. I’m curious to see how fans react.”

Whether Sookie winds up with Alcide at the end of the series or not, Manganiello will always know that his character is the favorite choice of “The Southern Vampire Mysteries” author Charlaine Harris.

“Charlaine Harris, when she was interviewed once, they asked her what super-powered creature she would want to end up with, and she said a werewolf,” he recalls. “You get to be with someone who’s super powered and — I’m paraphrasing — but [she said] something to the effect of ‘You get to wake up next to someone with warm feet as opposed to cold feet in bed,’ which I thought was really funny. I tend to agree.”

About the end of True Blood Manganiello tells E!

“It’s sad. It’s sad to say goodbye to the character and the show…It really was an amazing experience for everyone who worked on it.”

But Joe is a busy boy with his documentary film La Bare coming out and the sequel to Magic Mike that will start shooting in the fall.

“It’s a road trip movie. All the guys will be back together and causing some mayhem.”

Joe stopped by Extra TV earlier this week where you spoke some more about True Blood and his other upcoming projects.
