Donald Glover (Childish Gambino) Poses Shirtless, Flaunts Abs As 'Magic Mike XXL' Stripper [PHOTO]

Back in February, it was confirmed that Donald Glover (a.k.a Childish Gambino) would be playing a male stripper in the upcoming movie Magic Mike XXL. Now a shirtless photo of him in costume has surfaced, and our boy is rocking some abs underneath his shiny black suit and fedora.

The film's official Twitter shared Glover's first photo today in poster form. The name of his character has yet to be revealed.

Glover recently spoke to Collider about the role, saying he'll be "showing himself" in the upcoming sequel.

"I definitely show myself a little bit," he said. "It's a funny thing. I just never really - that energy is, I don't know, getting into it is cool, to just dive into something like that. I've never been in that world. It's very few people who have ever been a convention center filled with 900 women screaming. That's a feeling that I feel like very few people know. It was crazy. I met so many people. There was a girl there, I was having a scene with her, just talking, and everybody was just so interesting, but supportive. It's hard to be that supportive when you're in that room for that long, screaming."

He also recently told The Daily Beast that he is gaining more confidence from the role.

[My lap dance game has] gotten way better," he told them. "It's gotten way better. It's all confidence."

Magic Mike XXL hits theaters everywhere July 1.
