" \n I have to admit, I was kind of was nervous to meet Ian Ziering in person. Remember what a dill weed Steve Saunders from 90210 was?   The great news is that acting is just pretend and in real life, Ian Ziering is darling. The tall, blond hunk stopped by Cosmo to talk about his new gig as the guest host at Chippendales in Las Vegas. As I needled him to open up about his ripped body, stripping style and duck-face, he mostly wanted to talk about his wife and kids. Cute Ian, but I&amp;#039;m here to report on the important stuff: Do you take off your pants in the show or what? Below, I use every trick in the book to get this smokin&amp;#039; hawt family man to give me the dirty details.   Cosmo: How did you feel when you got an offer from Chippendales?   Ian: I thought it was a joke when my agent called me! I didn&amp;#039;t even know these opportunities existed. The first thing I did was ask my wife, &amp;quot;Are you okay with this? There&amp;#039;s gonna be screaming women and bachelorette parties and sexy dancing.&amp;quot; She just said, &amp;quot;Go for it, Magic Ian.&amp;quot; She&amp;#039;s the best.   Cosmo: She sounds rad. Were you nervous about performing with the most famous male erotic dance show in the world?   Ian: I wasn&amp;#039;t self-conscious about any of the moves I would have to do but I was definitely worried about standing on stage with these guys who are 6&amp;#039;5 and 240 pounds of sculpted marble. It&amp;#039;s pretty daunting to take your shirt off next to these Adonises. That really sent me back to the gym and back to my diet.   Cosmo: What guilty pleasure food do you miss most right now?   Ian: Easy! Movie popcorn. I can walk past a movie theater and smell it from a mile away and literally my mouth will water. I&amp;#039;ve been so strict with my diet that I will actually go into a movie theater, buy popcorn and just smell it. I will chew gum and smell the popcorn so I feel like I&amp;#039;m eating it. It satiates my desire because you can taste it through your nose.   Cosmo: You&amp;#039;re joking.   Ian: It&amp;#039;s so stupid and ridiculous but it works.   Cosmo: That sh*t cray. Did you invent that?   Ian: I don&amp;#039;t know anyone else who would admit to that, so I guess I did invent that.   Cosmo: Wow. Can you drink beer or wine on your diet?   Ian: Nope. Listen, I like beer and pizza and all that stuff but I&amp;#039;m gonna do whatever it takes to achieve my goal. I wake up every morning and look in the mirror and I&amp;#039;m starting to see the six pack show up. There&amp;#039;s actually an eight-pack there! Some people are alright with a four pack or a six pack, but you know...   Cosmo: You will smell popcorn until you see that eight pack!   Ian: I&amp;#039;m going to the mountain.   Cosmo: Do you ever practice your moves at home in the mirror?   Ian: Oh, definitely.   Cosmo: Do you do duck-face?   Ian: No way!   Cosmo: You don&amp;#039;t make sexy-face when you dance?   Ian: Nah, I don&amp;#039;t take myself too seriously with all this hunk stuff. It&amp;#039;s flattering but I&amp;#039;m just trying to have a good time.   Cosmo: How much clothing do you and the dancers take off? Is everyone in tighty whities by the end?   Ian: Some of the men get there. There&amp;#039;s one particular scene where the guys are just wearing underwear and socks like in Risky Business. But as far as getting down to my tighty whities, you&amp;#039;re just going to have to come to the show and see for yourself.   Cosmo: Go to Vegas to watch hot men take off their clothes to pop music? Fiiiiiiiine.  Ian Ziering&amp;#039;s limited engagement at the Rio All-Suite Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas runs from June 6-30th. Want more musings from Rose? Follow her on Twitter.
