Matthew McConaughey has no problem showing it all in his upcoming film, Magic Mike.

 McConaughey plays a male stripper in the movie and recently told The Advocate:

"It wasn't in the script, but [director Steven Soderbergh] said in the beginning that if it felt right, I could strip at the end of the movie. I said, 'I gotta dance, man.' I would regret it for the rest of my life if I was in a male stripper movie and didn't get up there and strip myself."

"The thong's your armor, man. It's your sword. Well, I guess it's really the sheath for the sword."

The actor admits it was "scary as hell" to film his first striptease, "but then it became like a drug, and I couldn't wait to do it again. Look, I love to dance, but I've never been a stripper. Channing's one of the best hip-hop street dancers I've ever seen, and I didn’t want to challenge his style, so I worked on my own strengths. I also knew that my dance had to be the dirtiest. It had to be wonderfully filthy."

Shall we now use the phrase "wonderfully filthy"?!!

Magic Mike also stars Channing Tatum and Alex Pettyfer. The film opens at theaters nationwide on June 29.
