Manganiello, who currently hosts NBC’s reality show,Deal or No Deal Island, sat down with the magazine for One Last Thing:

Last time I sang out loudI sing all the time. People have to stop me in grocery stores, restaurants—I guess it’s the theater guy in me. If you’re not causing a ruckus in public, then you’re not doing it right. Just this morning, I posted a music video of Dr. Will [fromDeal or No Deal Island] singing Rick Astley’s “Never Gonna Give You Up” on my Instagram and I’ve been singing it all day. I’ve actually got band practice with Goldfinger next week. I’m singing a song with them on stage at their next show.

Last tattoo I gotThe last one was the Orthodox Armenian word for luck, which also means fate, on my right arm. The script is the way my great-grandmother who escaped the genocide would’ve read it.

Last DIY projectI’m purging and getting rid of a lot of stuff, so I put together all these clothes racks to move them out. I’m handy, but it’s not like the old days where you could pop the hood of your car and understand what’s in there. You need a computer engineer to fix it now.
