It’s dangerous to be a male stripper—just ask Sofia Vergara

Sofia Vergara didn’t realize just how dangerous stripping could be until she dated someone who played a stripper on-screen.

After getting to the subject of dancing, Conan O’Brien asked about her boyfriend, actor Joe Manganiello, who is in the process of filming Magic Mike XXL. She was just as surprised as everyone when first saw his moves.

When it comes to playing a male stripper, not everything is as exciting as it looks on film. It’s easy to screw something up in a take and result in injury.

“It’s dangerous to be a stripper,” Vergara said. “I just thought it was fun and games, but no.”
