If Billy Reilich, better known as Nick the Gardener, becomes a movie star he has a lot of people to thank, notably Ellen DeGeneres. The talk show host helped secure the often-shirtless young man, who’s no stranger to dropping trou, a small role in Magic Mike XXL, so he repaid her generosity by offering an exclusive behind the scenes peek at the making of the upcoming stripper epic. Stars Channing Tatum and Joe Manganiello show up with words of encouragement. It’s all in a day’s work.

Nick is cute, but when he’s cute next to Joe and Chan, that’s meeting a high bar!

Yeah no kidding. If he can act he’s a tripple that to Tatum. I thought he was actually hotter. Joe looked like he wanted to jump him right there.

Stop posting about magic mike. what does it do for gay men? nothing. They just try to get gay mens money and ignore them as an audience in the film.

Porn carreer? Mwahaha

I guess the question of whether or not he can act is irrelevant.

Ironically all this coverage of Nick the Gardner on gay sites when Twitch seems to be the break out star. Neither one is gay so I can’t fathom why Twitch is so ignored when both come from Ellen’s show and both are hot.
@VampDC: You expect us not to watch a movie objectifying males because they’re not specifically gay characters? It’s really not that serious… I enjoyed the first movie with my sister, I’ll probably watch the new one with her too. I don’t care that they aren’t gay.
