Joe Manganiello has revealed that Arnold Schwarzenegger is a hero of his and to work with him on their new movie was 'awesome.'
Manganiello and Schwarzenegger team up for the first time on Ten, a film which sees David Ayer return to the director's chair.
And Manganiello has revealed it was a thrill to work with a man that he has admired for years.
Speaking to Men's Health the actor said: "Arnie was a hero to me. He's the reason why every guy of our generation started going to the gym.
"To film with him for four months was awesome. And he still trains every morning."
Mireille Enos, Sam Worthington, Terrence Howard and Josh Holloway join both Manganiello and Schwarzenegger on an all star cast list.
This will be the first movie for Manganiello since he starred in Magic Mike last summer.
Manganiello is currently filming sports drama Draft Day with Kevin Costner, Frank Langella and Jennifer Garner.
