Joe Manganiello doesn’t want to hear any bellyaching from his ‘Magic Mike’ costars about baring their bodies. After all, the actor says, nudity is a part of his day job.

‘It’s not that different from what I do on set on ‘True Blood,’’ Manganiello told the Huffington Post. ‘I wonder if some of the other guys have done it before -- taken their clothes off on camera.

‘For me, it’s just a typical day at the office,’ he said.

Manganiello will star in Steven Soderbergh’s ‘Magic Mike’ -- alongside longtime pal Matt Bomer, Alex Pettyfer, Matthew McConaughey and Channing Tatum, whose experiences as a young exotic dancer served as inspiration for the flick.

Having taken it off since the beginning of his career, Manganiello isn’t intimidated by playing a sizable character.

‘When I was in college, I did an off-Broadway show where I was full-frontal on stage, so I guess all of these crazy parts have been coming my way for a long time,’ he said.

‘Magic Mike’ begins shooting in mid-September, but expect more Manganiello as the fourth season of ‘True Blood’ winds up and Emmy Awards festivities unfurl.
