“Yeah Magic Mike!” Ben exclaimed, adding that it was the only show they could find tickets to.

“And I kind of like threw it out to the table as a joke and was like ‘I mean there’s ‘Magic Mike Live’ and Allison and Kristen were like ‘we’re going’. So we got tickets,” he said. “All I can say is that it was very satisfying.”

He went on to say that it was “probably Allison” who enjoyed the show the most.

“She was very quiet about it because we’re all masked so it’s hard to really like gage what people are feeling about all the naked men but we all had a really good time. I think it was a nice kind of a let loose moment,” he added.

He also noted that the Magic Mike performers didn’t have to wear masks.

“No masks anywhere”, the actor quipped. “Just little G-strings and that’s it.”

Earlier this year, Ben revealed that he went to prom with a famous actress. Find out who!
