Joe Manganiello forced Matt Bomer to sing in 'Magic Mike XXL'.
The 38-year-old actor has confessed he got Channing Tatum to write in a singing scene for his 37-year-old co-star in the sequel to 'Magic Mike', in which he performs D'Angelo's 'Untitled (How Does It Feel?)', after hearing him perform Jon Bon Jovi's 'Blaze of Glory' in a karaoke bar.
Joe said: "Matt is such a humble guy, and I feel like sometimes I'm Matt's agent, letting people know that he can sing.
"We were on Part 1 and we were filming in Tampa, and Matt and I went out to this karaoke bar. I dared Matt to sing Jon Bon Jovi's 'Blaze of Glory'. He sang it so well and so hard, and nailed every note, which is really, really difficult.
I remember coming back the next day and talking to Channing, or whoever, and I was like, 'You've got to get Matt to sing. You've got to make Matt sing.'"
The 'True Blood' star - who is engaged to 'Modern Family' actress Sofia Vergara - went on to admit that, having studied Shakespeare at drama school together, he finds it funny that he and the 'In Time' actor are now playing strippers in 'Magic Mike'.
Speaking to Collider.com, Joe said: "I've known Matt since he was 18. We did come up through drama school together, doing Chekhov, Shakespeare, Ibsen, and all of that. And now, we're at this moment in our careers where, in scene one for take one it was like, 'Joe, you're going to get naked and cannonball Channing into a pool.'
"That education really paid off."

'Captain America: Civil War' will see Black Panther take centre stage.
The star-studded Marvel movie - which will see 'Get On Up' actor Chadwick Boseman play Black Panther - will feature the character so much that Marvel boss Kevin Feige is reluctant to say too much about his role.
He told Birth.Movies.Death: "It is a role that he is still in the beginning phases of taking on, it's a mantle he is only beginning to take on because his father is older.
"The reason we introduced him in 'Civil War' is because we needed a third party. We needed fresh eyes who wasn't embedded with the 'Avengers' and who has a very different point of view than either Tony or Steve.
"We said, 'We need somebody like Black Panther... why don't we just use Black Panther?' That's how it went in the development process."
This comes shortly after it was revealed Spider-Man is set to star in 'Captain America: Civil War'.
Tom Holland is to feature alongside the likes of Chris Evans, Robert Downey Jr and Scarlett Johansson in the much-anticipated new Marvel movie, which will also include Sebastian Stan, Anthony Mackie, Paul Bettany and Jeremy Renner.

Robert Zemeckis will block any attempt to make another 'Back to the Future' movie.
The 63-year-old director - who created and directed the original sci-fi movies, starring Michael J. Fox - has admitted that while another film would be commercially successful, he hopes it never comes to fruition.
Asked if he'd like to make another 'Back to the Future' film, Robert said: "Oh, God no.
"That can't happen until both [co-writer Bob Gale] and I are dead. And then I'm sure they'll do it, unless there's a way our estates can stop it."
What's more, the director said it'd be difficult to do a remake as the original story and the movie's stars are so iconic.
He told the Daily Telegraph newspaper: "I mean, to me, that's outrageous. Especially since it's a good movie.
"It's like saying 'Let's remake 'Citizen Kane'. Who are we going to get to play Kane?' What folly, what insanity is that? Why would anyone do that?"
The original 'Back to the Future' movie was released in July 1985 and has made close to a billion dollars worldwide.

A Marvel film will feature an LGBT character "in the next decade or sooner".
Kevin Feige, the President of Marvel Studios, has claimed that while there are no concrete plans in place to include such a character in a scheduled film, it is something that will definitely happen at some stage.
He told Collider: "Well in the drawing board going up to 2019 it remains to be seen.
"The comics always make the path that we get to have the fun of saying, 'Yeah let's choose this way or let's choose this way', and I think there are a lot of cool things happening in the comics now that - it's usually a five to ten-year cycle between when something happens in the comics and when we can do it in the movie, sometimes a little less, but Civil War is certainly about the ten-year mark. Winter Soldier, I think, was around that time.
"So we always look at stuff that's happening in the comics and go, 'Where could we do that?' Sometimes it's sooner, but there's no reason why that couldn't happen in the next decade or sooner."
Earlier this month, Stan Lee - the former President and Chairman of Marvel Comics - said that the world "has a place for gay superheroes".
He shared: "I have no problem with creating new, homosexual superheroes.
"It has nothing to do with being anti-gay, or anti-black, or anti-Latino, or anything like that.
"Latino characters should stay Latino. The Black Panther should certainly not be Swiss.
"I just see no reason to change that which has already been established when it's so easy to add new characters. I say create new characters the way you want to. Hell, I'll do it myself."

Daniel Radcliffe is to star in 'Swiss Army Man'. The 25-year-old actor will star alongside Paul Dano and Mary Elizabeth Winstead in the surreal dramedy directed by Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert. 'Swiss Army Man' follows what happens when a hopeles...

Idris Elba has "no idea" whether he'll be the next James Bond.
The 42-year-old actor - who previously starred as former South African President Nelson Mandela in ' Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom' - has been heavily linked to the coveted role of the British secret agent, but Idris doesn't know whether the talk will come to fruition.
Asked if he's set to become the next James Bond, the London-born star said: "It's just a rumour. I've no idea."
However, Idris said that regardless of whether he lands the part of Bond, he won't be losing any sleep.
He told Radio Times: "I've sort of conquered fear. In life, there is no place for it. I don't mean to sound deep and philosophical, but it's a waste of emotion."
Earlier this year, Idris admitted he won't star in a film unless producers still allow him to DJ on the side.
He said: "I don't have a clause but we do ask the production companies to allow me the chance to go off and spin wherever I am in the world.
"Most of them want to have a happy actor, so they're like, 'Yeah, go off, let him DJ if it makes him comfortable.' Which is really lucky ... I'm absolutely going back [to Ibiza this year]."

Arnold Schwarzenegger has never filmed a movie without being injured.
The 67-year-old hard-man - who often carries out his own stunts - has revealed that he has been left bloodied and bruised during filming and has never escaped a set without needing medical attention.
He said: "I've never walked away from any movie where there wasn't an injury. If it's an elbow injury or shoulder injury or a knee injury or an ankle injury or something, or you cut your head open, because you know it's through some crazy thing, you just bang your head into the camera when you do the stunts.
"You know this happened to me two or three movies ago where it was like bleeding in the middle of the scene and then you're in the middle of the emergency room and you get stitched up and then they put make-up over it and they continue over the fight scenes."
However, the Hollywood star admitted the glamorous side of the movie business means he can't have any complaints.
He told ITV's 'Good Morning Britain': "I can never feel sorry for myself with all the hard work you do in a movie because you have your 40ft trailer and you have your rest periods. You have all those things and it's fun to do."

'Downton Abbey' creator Julian Fellowes wants to adapt the TV show into a movie.
The screenwriter has confirmed that the upcoming sixth season of the period drama - which will air later this year - will be its last, but he already has a story in mind for a film version.
Speaking at the Chalke Valley History Festival in Wiltshire, England, the 65-year-old writer revealed: "I think I know what the spine of a story for a film would be. I think it would be fun, in a sense, because we'd be making it on a film budget."
However, he recently admitted there are currently no concrete plans in place.
He said: "At the moment there isn't but you never know. Or a stage show or anything else. So I think to have them all killed in a bus [in the finale] would be a mistake.
"I think we bring various things to a conclusion and anything unresolved is unresolved. I'm open to the idea of a movie but I'm not anxious to do it. In my experience, and naming no names, the movie of the series is often a disappointment."

Marvel's 'Spider-Man' will be inspired by the work of director John Hughes.
Kevin Feige, the President of Marvel Studios, has admitted the new characters in the film - which will see British actor Tom Holland star as Peter Parker - will be inspired by the legendary director, who helmed 'The Breakfast Club' and 'Ferris Bueller's Day Off'.
Looking forward to the new movie, Kevin said: "It's the soap opera in high school, and those supporting characters, that are interesting.
"Just as we hadn't seen a heist movie in a long time, or a shrinking movie in a long time, we haven't seen a John Hughes movie in a long time.
"Not that we can make a John Hughes movie - only John Hughes could - but we're inspired by him, and merging that with the superhero genre in a way we haven't done before excites us."
Kevin also insisted a superhero movie needn't always concern matters of life and death.
Referring to Disney Pixar's 'Inside Out', he told Birth.Movies.Death: "Sometimes the stakes can just be 'Will this little girl grow up to be healthy and well put-together, or are there too many issues for her to overcome?' That's huge! That overrides a threat to reality itself.
"And I think 'Spider-Man' straddles that line in a fun way in his comics. What we wanted was a movie where the stakes could be as high as, 'This bad person is going to do this bad thing, and a lot of people could die', or, 'You don't get home in time and your aunt is going to figure this out, and your whole life is going to change'."
