Manganiello marked his territory in the public consciousness as the werewolf Alcide on HBO’s soft-core Goth horror soap, True Blood. With his brooding romance-novel looks, he became an instant sex symbol when he debuted in 2010 (he has since signed on for five more seasons). The fact that he sheds his clothes to transform into lupine form doesn’t hurt matters. Manganiello views this as pragmatism rather than an extension of creator Alan Ball’s gay sensibility. “As far as the butt cheek stuff goes,” he says, “it just makes sense. It’s not gratuitous; it’s realistic. If you’re a werewolf and you transform, you lose everything and there are your butt cheeks. The show is a deconstruction of supernatural creatures. It’s not like other werewolf projects, where you magically reappear with tiny jean shorts on.”
All I hae to say about this stud is “WOW” je can park his shoes under my bed anytime he wants to.
Don’t watch the show but WELL aware of him. Doesn’t hurt he’s a fellow tall guy. Praying he does finally do full frontal!
