True Blood: Joe Manganiello PSA (HBO)

[jenn071000]

I. Want. You. 

[xxVampireLovexXx]

Perfect man.

[ShrinkingCat11]

goes to show you...if you're a bully in school the kids you bully will grow up to be super smokin cable tv stars who people want to rip the clothes off of...........and you'll just be stuck watching them in your mom's basement

[Finiras]

do go get "help" from that site if you want to be locked up for a few weeks, abused, and have to pay a 10k bill for it afterwards.

[TheCallysan]

Very important message. Thanks to Joe and all the other True Blood's actors who participated. ♥

[MadNaduk]

What a great guy. I dont know if he just has amazing press agents or what, but not only is he undeniably drop dead gorgeous, but he comes across as a really cute, funny, adorable, vulnerable, sweet guy. I sincerely hope his message helps a few folks.

[clarizio]

Oh my god, I just wanna hug him <3

[mcoordinator]

OK!So now im just all in love with his kind spirit and his willingness to tell his story.I was teased mercilessly&it was not fun.It took me yrs after school 2 realize how adversely it can affect u.Being a kid isnt an excuse 2 be mean.IMO,no one is born mean so i hate 2 hear ppl say "oh, they're just being kids...".I was TAUGHT 2 be kind and humble and 2 not hurt ppl feelings 4 sport &It made me a better person.Kids r dying left n right bc parents r oblivious or uncaring of the imapct of bullying

[InVisiBLeQT]

I bet the people that bullied him were jealous guys because he stole all the attention of the girls.

[febesalad]

What a sweetheart.

[sheynoo]

AWEHHH! thats awesome way to go joe!

[UTubeuzername84]

hes hot!

[proud2bpagan]

Joe's living proof that you better watch whose ass you try to kick today,it may be the one you're kissing tommorrow.Tysvm,Joe! It does get better!

[Gracecharm100]

aww what a cutie! hes so sweet and honest!!! I love Joe as much as Alcide

[supakawaiikitti]

Oh he's so incredible! A gentle giant! I admit I had a little giggle at Froey-Joey but this is great that all the actors from the show are doing this :)

[Ittybittypurple]

How could anyone bully this beautuful man i wanna met his classmates but their problylik idhoulda got him when i hadthe chqnce

[trueblood411]

gorgeous. What was he talking about?

[RaTeDRKOdwyer94]

froey-joey, thats classic..

[nbrosens]

this is quite funny, my experience is exactly the same as his, i was always the biggest one so i didn't use my physical advantage against other kids, and so on... only difference: during high school i had a small group of friends and we kept to ourselves..

[bonjovilover06]

Joe should play "Jack Reacher" in a movie made from Lee Child's series of book. I hear it is being played by Tom Cruise...he is NO jack reacher!!



[SashkaBlack]

He should have been Wolverine

[DoobyMastah]

After he said he was beaten up, got his books dumped and made fun of, I paused the video, looked at him for a few minutes, screamed out "REALLY?" in my mind, and eventually resumed.

I'm not saying he should've retaliated or fought back or anything like that; it's just disgusting to know how cruel people can be.

[amazingdany]

Looking back at my primary and high school years, I wasn't bullied like the personalities pledging on these videos.

I dodged some serious 50 cal. bullets here. (knock on wood).

[91crystalrose]

sookie needs to be with you joe!

[4780732]

@91crystalrose  sii yes :)

[Anthonycastlemanf]

[proyectotodomejora]

"No te aisles..No creas que eres el UNICO.Asegúrate de hablar con un amigo..habla con ALGUIEN!Cuentale lo que esta pasando...No te lo guardes para ti ...NO ESTAS SOLO..y yo estoy aquí para decirte que TODO MEJORA!" :)

[4780732]

@proyectotodomejora  asi es no al silencio :)

[blustarent]

Look @ you now joey. fine as hell and a great actor! those bullies are probably not doing shit with their lives wishing they were you

[FrostMan92]

I thought hot people are supposed to be famous in school.?

[KVLaudzevics]

@FrostMan92 you'll probably find more often than not that a lot of famous people were bullied in their childhood...

[obliviouschaos]

His nose is crooked but my gawd, he is hot!

[lnsordo91]

@obliviouschaos he used to box so he prolly broke it lol

[armrio1]

Someone said here this story smells like bulshit, I agree.I saw a interview with him that used to be on youtube (i can't find it anymore) where he said he was a jock in high school and actors were the kind of people he used to make fun off...

[BlueLilyCat]

OMG!! Am I the only to drool?

[Pumpkinpetals]

Gahhhh....he is sooo gorgeous.



[carollott1]

haha now he's like a super famous hot guy what do those people think of him now

[tashamishka]

RAAAAWWWRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR­RRRRRR<3

[Katherinekae]

i love his muscles :P yumm

those bully's r probably beating themselves at home cus he is so hot :D

[KissMyFreckle]

Yum. This is the man that should end up with Sookie. He's so delicious.

[adg135]

well you certainly grew into your ears, bet all the girls (if any) that made fun of you are kicking themselves in their face lol

[Blush802]

I think he is a hunk..he could shape shift and save me anytime..

[kenshinjd]

man he's so real :] and just as cool as his character counter part

[mj097]

He is SO HOT!!! So manly and big lol love his voice too -3 oh yeah and great message :)

[bleedingblue60]

I always stand up for people being bullied-whether because they look different, have different customs or speak a different language. Even if I know the fight may turn to me I do what I feel is right. no one deserves to be humiliated for being "different". I hang out with every kind of person..its how you act that makes you-you. In case you're wondering I was considered one of the popular pretty girls..bullying is wrong at any time.

*side comment- I love my husbands big ears!!! =)

[beneathsurface489]

Is there any video talking about "verbal bullying"?I experienced that, and I sometimes wish I was beaten, because then things could have been done to prevent that.but words are air, and noone can prove that u have said something or not.....it made me hate school, hesitant to any friendships, and personal life was always non-school related...React people, be brave. If you witness verbal bullying, report it, no matter who it comes from!

[aleksalynn]

You gotta wonder what those bullies are thinking of him now....

[ThatMellon]

@aleksalynn Probably quite confused... sexualy :P

[koddinn]

My name is Joe Manganiello and I'm both a good person AND gorgeous... oh shut up Froey Joey! (I'm not jealous)

[Babylove6675]

No way in hell if I was THAT big I was gonna let them bully me. Id beat them down with my ears AND my fro forget that mess lol

[rytrospyk1]

Thanks Froey Joey

[therainingmovie]

And as for @ ilovesimsqq her name is brit Morgan and she has more views because she's actually talking to others about an emotional and tough part of her life and telling a REAL story to help others. Just because she doesn't have six pack abs doesn't give you the right to suggest that her message is worth any less than Joe's. You display the same nasty pettiness as the bullies all these people are talking about.

[OrchidDada]

Wow! He's certainly is pretty!

[Monica82198]

I was picked on in school too, my fear is my kids will be too, I just hope they know they can always come to me and as you said It Gets Better

[ashestoashes597]

Who would bully him??

[LINDOUILLLE]

GOSH. I love him!

[proyectotodomejora]

Sincere...Gorgeous...We are melting inside :) Greetings from Lima,Peru!!

[househeadericmd]

sincere.... :)

[Faira95]

awww.

[marinamkd]

aw, the ears :)

[IrethN]

I love his big heart! I'd like you to protect me anytime! Cos I'm really tiny =/

Tiny asian :(

[xcupcakes24x]

@IrethN hahaha im an asian too!!

[FatJan]

I was disappointed when they didn't cast him as Superman. He would've been awesome. I hope he'll be given the opportunity to portray a superhero in the very near future.

[princeoftygers]

I like how his mouth goes to the side....

[FFLDcountyGAMING]

ATTENTION GAY COMMUNITY. I AM A VIDEO GAME UPLOADER AND RECENTLY ADDED A VIDEO CALLED "COD BLACK OPS-GAY PRIDE" I WITNESSED GAY PLAYERS BEING ATTACKED ONLINE FOR NO REASON SIMPLY BECAUSE THEY WERE GAY. I AM NOT GAY BUT SUPPORT GAYS IN THERE RIGHTS TO LIVE FREELY. I ASK THAT YOU PLEASE STOP BY AND CHECK IT OUT,LEAVE A COMMENT. THIS IS SICKENING AND NEEDS TO STOP. PLEASE HELP ME GET THIS MESSAGE ACROSS. IT IS 2011 N PEOPLE STILL WRONGLY ATTACK GAY PEOPLE WHO TRY TO DO NOTHING BUT LIVE THEIR LIVES.

[lostgothreward]

I hope it keeps you smiling that women all over the world would volunteer to "Scratch your belly" for ya.lol.

[mscubana]

I am melting on the inside.

[steerpike66]

So handsome. So, so incredibly handsome. It's like Keanu Reeves but six inches taller and shrink-wrapped in muscle. Same lovely, low-key attitude.

[douglasokc]

who knows if there is a god/ but this bit i do know: THIS IS --- A MAN. and a fine one at that..........

[ytemily08]

Lots of respect for you, Joe. From one who was bullied as a child, thanks for standing up for us. I bet those who bullied you are eating up the dust under your feet.

[Shinibo]

He's such a sweetie. Couldn't find a better role for Alcide. I feel bad for him that he had to go through all that in his school days. I think the kids were just jealous of his height and looks!

[CLEVELTECH]

Thank you.

[Bpers2001]

Oh, he is such a handsome, wonderful person.

In my fantasies, I'm his "better half." LOL

[MrsAimeeOliver]

When he took off his clothes to help sookie search for eric, Ho-ly-SHit. I couldnt keep my eyes off !

[AnonymousPrettySP]

I'm in love

[matiildaengstrom]

god, i love him

[tsodimk]

i find him hot tbh

[lemontree357]

isn't he the cutest!?

[fieryredruby]

Meow..you sexy thang and is so genuine!

[Simoneiscooler]

"were taking back broadway"!

[loveuallso]

First Eric, now Alcide? Things just get absolutely better!

[HannaB20]

Beautiful message from a beautiful man.

[mymindkillsme]

i dont think hes attractive at all. eww.. but he does seem like a nice guy.

[LoneyLove13]

@dreadlife Just because they are actors doesn't mean they didn't have a normal life. Most actors/actress were made fun of cause of their dream or being differnt. Im bullied because I wanna work in the film industry

[Tehyawn1]

awesome!

[SugeeMcLeLe]

He is so sweet! and HOT!!!!!!

[dreadlife]

yea right..i doubt this guy was picked on in school..alot of these actors are faking all this PSA stuff just to look cool and in....Joe is an actor so ofcourse he is lying and acting like care about his past boring life...yawn!!!

[carmindyy]

I LOVE YOU

[Meena1587]

haha you could totally use your size against me I wouldn't mind :P

[Nightlylioness]

Your so cute Joe:) i KNOW that anybody who messed with you back then probably really regrets it now.

[selenya]

I had a friend like him in high school gym class. I would be bullied and he would always stand up for me. Thanks for being one of those guys, Joe, and it does get better. So much so. <3

[BrokenTHGurl08]

I love your ears Joe! :)

[fineaaliyah72]

why would any one want to hurt him he is so sexy and beautiful i love him so much

[DeniseFlutschi]

of course he was bigger <3 he's gorgeous

[emilylovestvd]

bet they regret bullying him!!!!

hate to tell them but he's probably more succesful and hotter than anyone of his old school..

[leeben04]

And did anyone catch themselves with a goofy grin on their face when Joe looked in the camera.Wow.

[leeben04]

Hmm. I'd like to see those fro-ee Joey pictures

[samaralynn09]

Joe, did you really did picked on? I would've never guesses!!! You're one sexy wolf now!!! ;)

[Rebeccietjuh456]

haa, those bully's can eat their hearts out! he's gorgeous!

[Morrgore]

Why didn't they cast him as the new Superman?...can you imagine!?

[angelblu27834]

@Morrgore TMZ asked him that question too. He said his schedule was too busy.

[Morrgore]

@angelblu27834 Damn shame, all he needs is a shave and he's all set. All the other supermen were thin and they had to workout like crazy. He's like this naturally.

[iRMalCubo]

@Morrgore Henry Cavill is ridiculously hot.... I wish he were in True Blood...

[pkmn7777777]

@Morrgore a nationwide collective orgasm...

[lindseybfmvfan]

@Morrgore The Superman shooting schedule clashed too much with his True Blood shooting schedule. The Director of Superman really wanted Joe in the running but he just couldn't change the schedule enough to make it work so that's why Joe had to drop out! :( It's a massive shame because he would have been AWESOME as Superman lol but True Blood had to come first

[Aussiegirl265]

@Morrgore YES!! that's a brilliant idea

[blustarent]

@Morrgore OMFGGGGGGGGG THANK GOD I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE !! XD

[hanmats]

@Morrgore Joe was most definitely going to become the new Superman. They had already taken his suit measurements and everything, but his Superman schedule clashed with his True Blood schedule, so he ultimately had to drop the Superman role because True Blood, I guess, is a bigger commitment because he had already signed the contract for the next year.

[MatchesMalone242]

@Morrgore I think he said in an interview that he couldn't because of his contract for True Blood. He wasn't able to audition for it :(

[leekepwn]

@Morrgore Because Joe dropped out by himself from the auditions. He would've needed to step down from True Blood during at least one season.

[Deadmansparty2002]

It's always hard going through stuff like that, speaking from experience.

[katlongoria]

He is just perfect isn't he? gorgeous and wonderfully kind and good hearted. Ugh, LOVE!

[zehredness]

I hope I'm wrong but this story smells like BS to me.

[Alyshamyre20]

@zehredness all of them do.

[mrsprincesslily]

@zehredness Why?

I think all of the PSA stories, including the one here, are all true. Its hard even as an adult, for the the bullied to retell the stories. It does get better though.
