"When I first heard that Joe Manganiello was returning to play Brad again on How I Met Your Mother, I imagined lots of Magic Mike stripper jokes and, of course, gratuitous shots of him shirtless and ab-tastic. Because when you have Joe Manganiello on set, that&amp;#x27;s what you do right? That&amp;#x27;s what you should do.But the first pics of the Nov. 19 episode are in, and it seems HIMYM has decided to add a few pounds and a scraggly beard. SEE: You know, I still think he looks kind of hot--gut and all--but THANK GOD it&amp;#x27;s fake. Shew. It kind of reminds me of the times movies try to make beautiful actresses ugly for roles--i.e. Charlize Theron in Monster--and somehow you just can&amp;#x27;t hide how attractive they are. Regardless, I can&amp;#x27;t wait to see the episode. I always wondered what happened after Brad and Marshall&amp;#x27;s bromance went awry. What do you guys think? Will you watch the episode on Monday?
