“His [Joe Manganiello] character name in the movie is Big Dick Richie. Joe’s a cool guy. We became buddies after the movie. He’s big, ripped and his whole thing is he comes up on stage and he’s dancing behind a silhouette so all you see is a shadow. After the third minute, he grabs his G-string and tears it off exposing a shadow of…you know, [Elephant noises]”

Iglesias further joked that Joe Manganiello did not in fact possess a [elephant noise] and so, they had to call up an adult film company that was up the street. When the adult toys came, Iglesias revealed that they couldn’t help themselves but play lightsaber with them.

“Channing Tatum goes ‘Are you the guy?’ and he [the provider] says ‘Yeah, I’m the guy.’ He got all the actors around a kitchen table and it [the toys] made a mountain. All the actors we’re just standing there just staring. All of a sudden, the 12-year-old came out of all of us because we all grabbed one and started playing Star Wars. Just [Wooshing sounds]. ‘Hmm, bend over you will!'”

Starring and stripping alongside each other, Channing Tatum was once asked the question, who was the better stripper between the two? Speaking toVanity Fair’slie-detector test, Tatum revealed that he was a far better stripper than Joe Manganiello.

“100%. We’re different, different classes of strippers. When you look in the dictionary next to, like, the perfect specimen of a man, probably Joe Manganiello is one of those bodies that pops up,”Tatum said,“because he’s kind of weirdly flawless. But as far as stripping goes, I would put myself above him dance-wise. Sorry, Joe.”
