Matthew Mcconaughey 'proud of exceptional thong in Magic Mike'

Washington, June 23 (ANI): Matthew McConaughey, who plays the role of a male stripper in 'magic Mike', has revealed that he is proud of the "exceptional thong" he wears in the flick.

The 42-year-old actor plays a "'lunatic guy'" in the film, and promises fans will get to see him bare plenty of his flesh for the role.

He was asked if he takes his shirt off in the film.

"'I had to. I couldn't do this film and not do that. This was different, though, man. This was more than taking off my shirt. You'll see, man. I've got an exceptional thong," Contactmusic quoted him as saying.

He stars alongside Channing Tatum, who plays lead character Mike, in the movie, and said he had to make his character, strip club owner Dallas, crazy to make up for the fact he wasn't as good at dancing as his younger co-star.

"Channing's such a damn good hip-hop dancer, I knew I wasn't going to challenge him at dancing," he told Shortlist magazine.

"'It's raw, man, I get to play this lunatic guy, who's a bit of a Jim Morrison, Malcolm McDowell in 'Clockwork Orange' kind of guy. He's ready to revolutionise the male [stripping] world. In his mind, he's an absolute deity," he added. (ANI)
