In an interview in 2010 with Vulture Magazine, when asked about having body hair or shaving it, he replied, “I don’t have to, thank God. I’m Sicilian and Armenian and I play a werewolf, and I’m hairless. I think it was probably the only time in history you’re going to see that combination.
Manganiello mentions his Armenian identity in the movie ‘Magic Mike’: Yeah, man. I’m Sicilian and Armenian, okay? You gotta do something.
Joe is married to Actress Sofia Vergara since November 2015. One thing that proves he has Armenian blood is him proudly asking his Mother’s approval: Joe Manganiello’s mother Susan gave her seal of approval to his fiancee. “It’s not always easy winning the approval of your future mother-in-law.”dailymail of UK.

On April 24, 2018, Joe Posted this photo on Instagram with the following caption:
“This is my great grandmother. She was shot and left for dead right after witnessing the murder of her husband and seven of her children in her home in Kharput, Armenia in 1915. Her eighth child would later die during her escape. This is her three years later with my infant grandmother in Constantinople right before she got onto the boat to come to America. This happened. We can never forget that it did lest we become accomplices to future genocides. I am indebted to the strength and fortitude of my great grandmother and to all of the Armenians that survived this hellish time. Without them, I wouldn’t exist. #neverforget #armeniangenocide”
