Joe Manganiello for GQ Magazine

Posted on Jun 21, 2011 in Fashion

Joe Manganiello is featured in the July Issue of GQ Magazine, in a racy spread photographed by Carter Smith. We are filing this post under “Fashion” but that’s only because when we discussed the design of the new site, we decided “MAN MEAT” as a blog category was a bit déclassé. But like the articles in Playboy (and the girls in a GQ editorial), the fashion is there to be discussed, if you want to, even though you have to struggle to pay attention to it. Enjoy your meaty lunch, kittens.

He looks like he’s wearing his girlfriend’s clothes in some of these shots, which totally ruins it for me.

  which girlfriend? apparently he has two.

  Now that I’ve read that of course I can’t un-see it. And I’m loling, but feeling confused because he still looks hot to me after recognizing he’s halfway in drag. Oh darn it…

HOLY……….

no words. thank you, TLo. THANK YOU.

What will always perplex me about these editorials featuring the new Hot Young Thing (male version) is how utterly uninterested the guy is by the nearly or fully naked women surrounding them. He seems to be looking at them almost like a museum exhibit rather than two gorgeous women cavorting around him.
Other note: dang, those clothes are tight. Congratulations, girls. It seems we’ve achieved equal objectification.

  wan’t it high time we’ve achieved that? I say hooray!
  
  Let the girls drool and some poor fellows feel terrible about the sape they’re in…

    And yet, the second thing I thought after looking at these photos was “damn I wish I looked like that in a bikini.”

Man meat may have been a more appropriate title.

Could there be LESS chemistry between the boy & the girls in this shoot? Don’t see how.

I have to wonder: Is this what Charlie Sheen *thinks,* inside his twisted little head, that his life looks like?

WOWZER!!! He is one of my dream dates, free passes, ect. I must say, I am a little disappointed he has gone smooth in the manscaping department. A man with chest/torso hair is so much more appealing to some of us.

  I agree! Men should be hairy, dammit.

Ugh, this is just not right. NOT RIGHT. He’s like staring into the sun. Except I don’t sneeze when I look at him.

So BORING. Yes, he’s cut. Yes, the girls are skinny and beautiful. But there’s nothing interesting happening here–no story, other than “Hot guy bangs hot girls in summertime.” I like my man-meat a little smarter. (Or at least shot/styled to look smarter.) He just looks like he front-loads protein and lives in the gym.

  Except, I don’t even get the impression any of them are interested in having sex
  with each other. It’s more, “hot guy & hot girls pose in summertime while
  wondering if the shoot will be over in enough time to call in and reschedule
  their waxing & spray tan appointment.”

  When you said “he’s cut”, I misunderstood you for a sec and thought you were talking about a certain body part…
  - Carolyn Warfield
    
    To be honest, I didn’t look that closely. I get so irked by spreads which scream “look at my body! look at my body!” that I tend to not look very closely.

This is one of the more successful crosses between fashion editorial and porn. I wish there was more of this in the world.

Werewolves should be hairy. Great face, but I need hair on my men.
- http://visceralresponse.com Dina dV
  
  But he has that beautiful head of glossy, curly hair. Isn’t that enough? Manganiello was unfairly blessed genetically and picking a favorite feature seems ridiculous, but I’m always struck by what amazing hair he has.
  - http://pulse.yahoo.com/_RK5MAF2VNT32ULNYFIXDANTEC4 Terence
    
    Well, I think the issue here is that he IS naturally hirsuit. I think he’s been manscaped within an inch of his life.

    Although I havent’ been following HBO’s True Blood very much, I do think casting Joe as Alcide was truly inspired.

Why is the naked woman taking a picture of him? Shouldn’t it be the other way around? Oh, and by the way, this is kind of trashy.
- Anonymous
  
  My thoughts exactly. He is a great-looking guy and he wears what little clothing there is in this spread well, but this editorial seems designed to objectify every person in it.

  It looks a little like she has taken her clothes off and is taking a picture of him wearing them.

I’ve always said that GQ 90% of the time is like porn for women, this simply is evidence of my point. Then the other 10% they do things like the Glee spread…

Oh, yummm…

Sort of reminds me of that 80′s film, “Summer Lovers.” Only Joe is much hotter than that actor… what’s his name…

  Was it Steve Guttenberg? Uh, yeah, definitely hotter!
  - Shawn Hill
    
    It was Peter Gallagher, whom he is not hotter than (at the same age).

I kind of implied this on twitter, but he doesn’t look nearly as big here as he does on the cover of that fitness magazine you posted a few days ago. Either he’s bulked up quickly or there is some serious photoshopping going on.
- Glen Coleson
  
  Is it Men’s Health? They’re notorious for ‘shopping celeb’s to make them bulkier. Look up Andy Roddick’s mens health cover for a great example.
  - http://twitter.com/Goldielox73 Goldie
    
    It was Muscle and Fitness. TLo posted it on their FB page yesterday.

    Yes! I remember Roddick released a statement that they must have shopped him because they erased one of his tattoos, haha.

Lordy, lord. Damn. He needs wear as little as possible in the new season of True Blood as well.

Oh my god, this is right out of Summer Lovers, a horrible, horrible 80s movie starring Peter Gallagher, Daryl Hannah, and … some other chick. They did NOT need to bring that back, no. Noooooo!

He looks constipated in most of the shots. Clothes are the typical Macy’s variety. UGH

800 dollars for a shirt? How the f*** do people get away with charging that kind of money. A tailored suit being expensive i can understand, but a single shirt that could pay my rent for nearly two months is downright vulgar.

Great looking guys abound. Yes, they’re fun eye candy but smart and funny with a modicum of looks and maintenance does it for me. Jon Stewart is MY hall pass, not this guy.

  Oh, hells yeah! Smart and funny will always be way more sexy to me than oiled up muscles.

I love how you can’t even see the $195 sweater in the first photo! Also, they totally went porno with this “fashion” photo shoot. He’s staring into the crotch of a naked woman while his shorts are unbuttoned – that’ll sell clothes! (although I do admit the hoodie he’s wearing is cute).
Anonymous

I’m not sure I care for the women in these shots…that is, the styling and use of them. Why is it always a 3-some scenario and one chick is always naked with a prop in a strategic spot? Men’s magazines…

That said, my is he hot! I would have preferred him in clothes that fit him rather than sized for 15 year old girl, but I would have really preferred all the shots of him in shorts and no shirt.

  It’s all from the movie: short-haired brunette, long-haired blonde, lots of nude sunbathing for everyone.

    Oh, yes. The sequel to 2 long-haired blondes lying nude on a mattress.

Holy crap. Bravo for all of the man-meat you’ve been posting lately!

My only criticism – he really needs to get that half-beard off his face. It works in the long shots, but not close up.

Kind of ruins it a little with skinny mostly naked women interfering with the view / fantasy

Ok, I just have to ask. Was this actually shot in Santorini? He was here? In my country? When? Why wasn’t I informed? Heads will roll people!

The people don’t do much for me — he looks bored out of his skull and the women are barely living mannequins — but the locations are stunning! I wish they’d just shot the scenery and left the people out of it; it would be a lot more interesting, IMO.

seriously, doesn’t that too small $60 Perry Ellis sweater make him look a little silly? Like Shinobi said, completely ruins the editorial for hotness. It’s like he should save up his money and pay the extra $735 for the blue Zegna.

It’s nice to know GQ hasn’t changed at all in the 20 years since I last looked at pictures from the magazine. As for Mr. Manganiello, he has a nice body but his face leaves a lot to be desired. I do like the v-neck sweater.

He looks AMAZINGLY hot. also, nice to see a female model done up all sexy who was super short hair. so much more interesting than a flowing blonde wig.

None of the clothes themselves are in any way interesting enough or special enough to warrant a spread, so why not take all the focus off the clothes and put it on the hot bods in the pics instead?

Yeah, not a fan so much. These look more like ads then an editorial to me. I do love me some Alcide though.

That minty green sweater and the shirt paired with it are about three sizes too small. And who wears a sweater to the beach anyway? Greece is not exactly a cold place.

Nope not looking at the “fashion” at all. Thanks GQ!
