"There are cultural differences between North  and South America," Manganiello admitted of his Colombian bride-to-be."There's a prevailing sense of machismo and an overall pity Latin American women feel for male strippers."

"Watching me go through this process, [Sofia's] eyes opened up the comedy of this world," Manganiello said. "She had no idea how funny it was, and that there really is a camaraderie between the guys... a brotherhood, if you will."
