We've been oohing and ahhing for weeks over the HBO-official trailer for the soon-to-be-released fourth season of "True Blood"—but with just a few days left to wait, GQ magazine has thrown us a bonus preview of coming attractions, in the form of Joe Manganiello's glorious, rippling, sun-bronzed abs. (What can we say? GQ: they know what we like!)

The series' resident werewolf hottie hooked up with a high-fashion photog and took a trip to the Greek island of Santorini, where he put his hard-earned physique on full display. Not that he's vain about it; the choice quote from his brief interview has him insisting that all that musclebound hotness is strictly business, and that "if Alcide was described as weighing 300 pounds with a comb-over and missing his front teeth, that's what I would look like."
Yeah, sure, that's nice, Joe...but he's not, so let's move on. And keep those abs out there where we can see 'em.
Are you salivating over Joe's imminent return to the small screen this Sunday? Tell us in the comments and on Twitter!
