The 36 Year old Pittsburgh native revealed that he struggled to pay his rent and actually was evicted.  All this occurred after his role in the blockbuster Spiderman.  Manganiello explained that after Spiderman wrapped, after only 6 months he did not have enough money to pay his rent.

About 6 months after the shoot ended (for Spiderman), I got thrown out of my apartment for not paying rent,’

Lost my car. Lost all my clothes. Furniture. The sheriff gave me 5 minutes to collect my things in a duffle bag and leave the apartment.’

As he prepares for his new movie “Sabotage” with Arnold Schwarzenegger he explains his gym philosophy in 3 easy steps:

Lift heavy, hang out, get back under it

However don’t be fooled, he works out twice a day, six days a week.
