Matt Marshall
Favorite cocktail? Patrón and pineapple juice.
Being a good person means? Putting people before yourself.
Action or scary movies? Scary movies.
Favorite exercise? Basketball, all day every day.
Words to live by? Live. Love. Laugh.
Three things, physical and nonphysical, that attract you to another? Humor. Family values. Empathy. Eyes. Butt. Can I say butt again?
Favorite cereal? Cinnamon Toast Crunch.
Wildest thing you’ve ever done? Since I’m super shy, I guess my first Chippendales show.
Being a Chippendale means? Doing what I love.
One thing you want people to know about you? I am not what I look like.
Favorite ice cream flavor? Ben & Jerry’s Phish Food.
Clothes: Nike Pro Hypercool cropped leggings ($75), available at Macy’s Downtown Summerlin
Jon Howes
Favorite band? Pink Floyd.
Favorite home-cooked meal? Lasagna.
Best piece of advice you’ve ever been given? “Don’t take anything too seriously.”
Favorite Las Vegas hangout? Carson Kitchen.
Favorite city to vacation? Playa del Carmen.
Favorite part of your job? Hanging out with the guys; we’re like brothers. Not a lot of people get to go to work with a whole group of people they really get along with.
Best childhood memory? Vacationing in Maine. Every year in the summer, my family would pack up and go to Ogunquit, Maine.
What advice would you give to a future Chippendale? Don’t take anything too seriously. We’re a fun job. You can’t think you’re applying to be an accountant.
What would the perfect date consist of? A great dinner, good drinks and good conversation. Conversation is really key. Either the chemistry is there or it’s not. You have to have that magnetic spark.
One thing I really want people to know about me is? I’m kind-hearted.
Clothes: TOPMAN extreme racer tank top ($20), skinny jogger ($60), available at Fashion Show
Mikey Perez
Your first job? Delivery guy for Mary’s Pizza Shack in Vacaville, Calif., where I grew up.
Guilty pleasures? Sour gummy worms and Mountain Dew.
Being a Chippendale means? You’re an entertainer. But you’re something more special. It means showing a woman every side of a man and finding out what they enjoy and like and feeding off of that.
Have you ever broken any bones? First one was my foot, when I was a kid. Two bones behind my toes skateboarding. I broke my wrist and all of my fingers, some of them twice, in junior high playing football. My left clavicle, two ribs—and I’ve broken my nose multiple times.
Three things that attract you to another? Sense of humor is huge. All-around kindness and good manners. Manners are huge to me. A lot of people don’t have manners.
When you’re onstage and looking into the crowd, you’re thinking? Did I leave the coffee pot on?
Clothes: TOPMAN joggers ($75), available at Fashion Show
James Davis
Favorite TV show right now? Stranger Things.
Three non-physical traits that attract you to another? Musical taste. Taste in movies. And taste in literature.
Favorite childhood cartoon? Beavis and Butt-Head.
If a genie granted you three wishes, what would they be? Bring back The Doors. Now, this sounds so hippy-dippy, but, bring peace and love to this earth. And I wish I could sing opera.
Best dish you can make? Steak and potatoes.
If I’m home alone I’m? Nerding out on comic books.
Favorite cereal? Lucky Charms.
Favorite dance move? Hip thrust/body roll. It’s a move we do in our show every 25 seconds (laughs).
The perfect date is? Unplanned and spontaneous. Sometimes the best plan is no plan.
Favorite musical genre? Metal. I was in a metal band for 12 years; I did vocals.
If you were on a deserted island, what three things would you want to bring? All my CDs I collected throughout the ’90s. My French bulldog, England. And I’d bring Bear Grylls.
