Joe Manganiello Promises More Nudity On ‘True Blood’

Hottie actor Joe Manganiello, who plays werewolf Alcide on the hit HBO drama True Blood, is featured in the new issue of People magazine (lookin’ as insanely hot as ever) and in a quick interview with the mag, he explains how he has no plans to slow down on the nekkidness. Manganiello has been upgraded to series regular on the show, which means there will be a lot more shapeshifting to come … which, in turn, means there will be more nekkidness to be had as well:

The exposure comes easy to Joe Manganiello as protective and loyal werewolf Alcide on HBO’s True Blood because, hey, his costars are shedding their clothes too! “[It's not] uncomfortable as long as everyone else has to do it,” Manganiello told PEOPLE at the 9th Annual InStyle Summer Soiree in Hollywood. “Everyone else has to do it, so when it’s your turn, it’s your turn.” And fans of the new Hollywood heartthrob, 33, can rest assured, those racy scenes will keep coming. “I’m never going to stop shape shifting,” Manganiello said. “So I’m sure there will be more [nudity] in the future. I would bet money on that.” But as a serious, theater-trained actor, Manganiello cares more about people appreciating his art than appreciating his abs. “For years, I’ve been begging people to watch the shows I was on, and now I don’t have to,” he says. “It’s definitely the best thing [about fame].”

I love the philosophy that if everyone else is doing it, so can he! Joe Manganiello is a very welcome addition to the cast of True Blood and I am tickled pink that his nekkidness will continue to be featured on TB, aren’t you? After the jump, check out one more hot photo of Joe in the pages of the new issue of People magazine …

Le sigh. The man looks really good with clothes on … with clothes off? Whew! Hang on to your pearls, y’all. Oh yeah, I’m a fan :)
