The stars of Magic Mike will show the world their strippin' moves when the film hits theaters in June, and a handful of the guys are giving us a sneak peek on this week's cover of Entertainment Weekly. Leading man Channing Tatum is joined by costars Matthew McConaughey, Joe Manganiello, and Matt Bomer for a hot photo shoot, and of course, an interview. Once you're done ogling the eye candy, here are a few highlights from the interview:

Tatum on the vibe on set: "Actors, generally, if we finish our scenes early one day, we go home. It wasn't like that on this set. Especially during the dances — we were there cheering everybody on."
Tatum on McConaughey getting his thong ripped off by rowdy fans: "It was a collection of women being like, 'I have to tip him,' and then the weight of all the dollar bills in their hands just took [his thong] off."
Manganiello on how True Blood prepped him: "When I came in for a meeting with the casting director, she hadn't seen True Blood. So she said, 'Are you going to be comfortable with partial nudity?' And I go, 'Have you seen my show? I'm the poster child for that.'"

I probably would not pay to see this movie... would definitely watch it on Netflix. Maybe I would pay to see it if I was having a girl's night? Wine would have to be involved. In the end it would probably be a waste of money, but much cheaper than going to a strip club!

Give me a break. With the exception of Matt Bomer (really sorry to see him associated with a project like this), these guys are completely interchangeable with so many other so called actors in the business today. Exactly who's idea was it to pose the guy in the back, he looks ridiculous. When I spend my hard earned money on a movie I want to see good acting and a decent plot not a bunch of narcissistic body builder clones with no substance.

Ok, I know these guys are pretty da*n yummy, but would people really go to the theater to see this movie?? what's the story about?

I appreciate a good looking guy as much as any other woman, but I'm not particurally interested in The Clone Brigrade. There are so many guys out there today with overblown bodies, fairly good looking, and seemingly narcissistic personalities that I personally have become rather bored with them. Dont know who the big lummox in the back with his armed outstretched is, but he sure looks full of himself. I'm sorry to see Matt Bomer involved, he is so much better then to be involved in a movie like this. I appreciate a movie with a decent plot, unique talented actors, and plenty of action.
