(NEW YORK) — Joe Manganiello has been named People’s Hottest Bachelor of 2014. The True Blood star credits his hotness to his heritage.
“I am part Sicilian,” he explained. “I am passionate. I am a hot-blooded person. If you don’t like spicy, then maybe I’m not for you.”
Although he hasn’t found the right one, Manganiello knows what it’s like to be in love. “I’m at my best when I have someone to wake up next to,” he told the magazine.
Still, he admits that he may need advice when it comes to picking the right one to meet at the altar. Manganiello told People he got some sound advice from comedian, Chris Rock, when it came to true love and marriage.
The actor recalls Rock telling him, “Listen, there’s love, and you can feel love the first night, but that’s not what it is. It’s, ‘I like you and I need you.”
So what turns Manganiello on when dating a woman? “I’m big into smell,” he explained. “It’s funny I got cast as a werewolf. There’s something about the smell on that part of a woman’s neck where it meets the jaw, ahhhh! It’s heaven.”
