Watch: Joe Manganiello Stripping for Sofia Vergara?

If you want to see Joe Manganiello's stripper moves on the big screen, there's one thing you've got to have.

Yes, you better get some classic tunes from the Backstreet Boys on full blast.

"I own it. I'm a big fan of five-part harmony groups—not boy bands mind you," Manganiello told E! News before the official release of Magic Mike XXL. "The story that you're telling is a bad dancer becoming better via his love for the Backstreet Boys."

He continued, "That was for me actually!" Who knew Sofía Vergara's main man was such a fan of Nick Carter and the crew?!

When not professing his love for boy bands, Manganiello will find himself in one wedding scene that got us thinking about Vergara's upcoming bachelorette party. So, would the Modern Family star ever have her man as the party's official stripper?

"There better not be another guy," Manganiello explained. "If you're marrying Big Dick Ritchie, you better be the stripper!"

He continued, "I'll forego the bachelor party if she forgoes the bachelorette party, having spent so much time in the stripper community." LOL!
