Joe Manganiello Injures Arm Filming ‘Magic Mike XXL’
Joe Manganiello was spotted out in public wearing a very interesting accessory late last month. The buff actor was sporting an uncomfortable-looking medical device on his arm that immediately raised questions about his physical well-being. With its straps and hinges, the black brace seemed to indicate that the Magic Mike XXL star had suffered some type of injury. According to a People report, that’s exactly what happened.
A rep for Manganiello told People that the physically fit actor was injured on the set of Magic Mike XXL in Savannah, Georgia. However, his representative declined to disclose the exact nature of the injury or how it was incurred.
Fortunately there is good news. Manganiello’s rep said his arm will be back to normal in just a few months. According to IMDb, Magic Mike XXL is slated to hit the big screen in movie theaters on July 1, 2015. Hopefully that will give the cast and crew plenty of time to work with Manganiello on his remaining scenes so that the film can enter the next phase of production on schedule. As People reported, his final dance scene has already been filmed in front of 900 screaming extras, who left his ears ringing after the performance.
For those who haven’t been keeping up with the handsome actor’s love life, Joe Manganiello and sexy bombshell Sofia Vergara have been happily dating since the summer months. The ridiculously attractive couple met at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner in May 2014, and Vergara made a lasting impression on the True Blood hunk.
When Manganiello was named People’s hottest bachelor earlier this year, he spoke with the magazine about his celebrity crush, and it just happened to be Sofia. At the time, she was seriously involved with Nick Loeb, with whom she had enjoyed an on-again off-again relationship and engagement. Manganiello explained why he wouldn’t be chasing Vergara despite an obvious attraction to the Colombian actress.
“There was a picture someone snapped at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner where they caught me looking at Sofia Vergara’s butt. When you talk about being manipulated, that’s what I’m talking about. It’s like a moment of zen. There is nothing in my brain. If only I could meditate that well. I don’t go after other people’s women. She’s got a guy. If she was single, I would be like, poof!”
The couple didn’t begin dating until after Vergara and Loeb called it quits.
As previously reported by the Inquisitr, Joe Manganiello and Sofia Vergara started engagement rumors when Vergara was spotted wearing a diamond ring on her finger. However, the ring turned out to be from her personal collection with Kay Jewelers. So it was a false alarm.
