On Thursday’s episode of ELLEN, “Nick the Gardener” was hooked up with a “meet and greet” for a role in the upcoming MAGIC MIKE XXL.

On Friday, viewers got to see how the (shirtless) meeting went with Warner Brothers exec Greg Silverman. Things are looking good for Nick! Fingers crossed 🙂

Oh, and it’s “Laundry Day” at the ELLEN show, so of course she needs him to give him his shirt.  No unnecessary naked action going on here.
