Okay, let's just get this out there and out of the way. Yes, yes I have been marking down the days on my calender until the movie Magic Mike comes out. And no, I don't think it's a bit on the creeper side. Can you really blame me for eagerly anticipating a movie that involves pretty much nothing but shirtless hotties? If you haven't heard about Magic Mike yet, then prepare to thank me. Check out the trailer here and then come back because we'll have a lot to talk about. 

In honour of the Magic Mike release, I felt it was only fitting that we discuss the hotness levels of the key cast members. Only, I refuse to have to only chose two of the cast members to put up against each other in a face off. I don't think I should be depriving you lovely chicks of all the hotness that is Magic Mike. So, I'm going to be doing an extra special edition of Gratuitous Hotties today. It's going to be a 5 way competition and we'll put the decision of who wins up to you. 

First however, let us enjoy some stills from the film, shall we? Warning: you may not want to look while at work. You won't be able to concentrate for the rest of the day.  



Do we need a few other images? I think so. 

 
 
RIGHT?! Ok, enough of that ladies. Time to focus! Let's start talking about the individual men. 

#1: Joe Manganiello. A.K.A. That werewolf from True Blood. He's super buff and handsome.

#2: Alex Pettyfer. We actually spoke about him in a Gratuitous Hottie Face Off recently. He's quite the pretty boy and has a great face.

#3: Matthew McConaughey. He's kind of a hippie, and almost never wears a shirt. But, I'm not complaining.

#4: Matt Bomer. Oh, boy. Matt Bomer is crazy good looking. Like Disney prince worthy.

So chicks, which one of these boys makes the grade? Which one do you think is the AB-solute hottest? Leave a comment with your choice and also let me know if you're as excited as I am for Magic Mike!
