..His latest role is playing a stripper called Big Dick Richie and now it's clear to see why.

Joe Manganiello flaunted his perfectly toned torso and enviable body as he went for a swim in Miami yesterday.

The 35-year-old actor was no doubt turning heads on South Beach as he emerged from the water wearing just his swimming shorts.

The blue checked garment hung just beneath Manganiello's waist and as he made his way back to the shore, the dark-haired star ruffled his hair while maintaining a mean and moody look.

However, it wasn't the first time that the U.S. born star has treated the public to a display of his topless body as at the beginning of June he walked on stage at the MTV Movie Awards dressed as a sexy fireman.

Perfect role: The 35-year-old star plays a stripper called Big Dick Richie in upcoming film Magic Mike

Manganiello, who stars in upcoming movie Magic Mike alongside Channing Tatum and Matthew McConaughey, clearly takes a lot of pride in his appearance, and must have been perfect for his latest role.

The comedy is based on Tatum's rela-life experiences as a stripper in Florida, and revolves around his character Magic Mike who teaches a novice about the occupation while seeking a lifestyle outside the world of stripping with the help of his protégé's sister.

The film, which only had a budget of £5million, is set to be released on June 29.
