Lionsgate, the company distributing Steven Soderbergh’s highly anticipated male stripper movie in the United Kingdom, has released its trailer for Magic Mike overseas… And, it’s definitely more risqué than the trailer Warner Bros. released in the States.

So how did Rodriquez prepare for his oh-so-revealing role?

“Plenty of dieting and exercise with 60 to 90 minutes of cardio a day — sometimes two. An hour of weight training and a whole lot of dance rehearsals,” said Rodriguez. “We have a few group numbers in the movie that we worked really hard on. We definitely went balls out.”

The 36-year-old Puerto Rican & Cuban American actor—best known for his role as Eric Delko on CSI: Miami—will appear in Steven Soderbergh’s male stripper movie Magic Mike.

And now there’s finally proof of his appearance in the film—co-starring some of Hollywood’s hunkiest actors, including Channing Tatum, Matthew McConaughey, Joe Manganiello, Alex Pettyfer and Matt Bomer—in this exclusive film still from Entertainment Weekly.

Set in the world of male strippers, Magic Mike is inspired by Tatum’s real-life experience working as a stripper in Tampa, Florida. The film follows Mike (Tatum) as he takes a young dancer called The Kid (Pettyfer) under his wing and schools him in the fine arts of partying, picking up women, and making easy money.

“When Channing talked to me about this, I thought it was one of the best ideas I’d ever heard for a movie. I said I wanted in immediately,” says director Soderbergh. “It’s sexy, funny and shocking. We’re using Saturday Night Fever as our model, so hopefully we’re on the right track.”

Magic Mike will hit theaters June 29, 2012.
