Joe Manganiello may still be some way from proving his acting chops to the world but at least we can all agree on the fact that he’s one gorgeous individual. He’s in great shape, is willing to show off his ripped body whenever opportunity arises, and he’s what some ladies might call a stunner in the face too.

So we should probably not wonder too much about People naming him its Hottest Bachelor in what is essentially a piece promoting Manganiello’s new documentary “La Bare.” Since Joe is also showing off his ridiculous pecs and six-pack on the cover, there’s really no reason to complain.

In the interview, Joe talks very little about the film and more about his ideal woman, which, he says, is out there but he’s yet to find her. Ladies, listen up.

“I am part Sicilian. I am passionate. I am a hot-blooded person. If you don’t like spicy, then maybe I’m not for you,” he says. This sounds like an ad on one of those matchmaking sites so, if Joe wants to push his film, let’s hope the full interview includes a bit more on that too, when it comes out at newsstands at the end of the week.

Joe might not look the part but he’s a romantic.

“I think the crazy love that you fall into in the beginning turns into ‘like’ and ‘need.’ Chris Rock told me that! He’s like, ‘Kid, you wanna get married? Listen, there’s love, and you can feel love the first night, but that’s not what it is. It’s, ‘I like you and I need you’,” he says.

He’s still searching for that woman he will like and need into old age, adding that he’s his best self when he has a special someone to wake up to in the mornings.

One more tip on how to attract this Hollywood hunk: let him sniff you.

“I’m big into smell. It’s funny I got cast as a werewolf. There’s something about the smell on that part of a woman’s neck where it meets the jaw, ahhhh! It’s heaven,” Joe reveals for the publication.

Those of us who will never get the chance to travel to the US and hang out in the same circles as Joe, in the hope that he might be tempted to sniff our necks, only have “Magic Mike 2” to look forward to for another glimpse of him on the big screen.

He will be reprising his role in the sequel, on whose script Channing Tatum is now busily working. Matthew McConaughey will apparently not be back for it because, you see, he’s too big a star now that he has an Oscar to do a movie with male exotic dancers.
