How Matt Bomer Channeled “Magic Mike” Character at Sister's Wedding

Jason Kempin/NBC(NEW YORK) — Matt Bomer says he’s learned to be careful since he found himself channeling his Magic Mike stripper character off-screen. Bomer revealed Wednesday that he got carried away at his sister’s wedding shortly after completing the 2012 indie hit that tells the behind-the-scenes story of male strippers.

“At the reception dance, I started to bust out some Magic Mike moves, just some gyrations, some — you know, letting it all hang out there,” he said on ABC’s Good Morning America. “And I realized that my cousins were like, ‘Whoa, dude. Like, can you not do that at your sister’s wedding reception?’”

He added, laughing, “I was like, ‘You know what? I should probably pull back on these.’”

Bomer reprises the role of Ken — the spiritual stripper who moonlights as an actor — in the sequel, Magic Mike XXL. The actor even sings in the film, performing a cover of Bryan Adams’ “Heaven.” 

“[Writer and co-star Channing Tatum] wanted everybody to get a chance to shine in this movie and do something unique to them,” Bomer said. “And he said going into the movie he knew that it was going to be road trip movie and that I was going to sing. That was our starting template.”

Magic Mike XXL his theaters July 1.
