Recent in the news, Joe Manganiello has been rocking a blue mohawk for several weeks, and wife Sofia Vergara had yet to weigh in on the new 'do…until now! Joe Manganiello joked about his wife Sofia Vergara's reaction to his new hairdo - a blue Mohawk he dyed on a whim during a break between movie roles. 'You know, she married an actor, so she had to think the weirdness would come out at some point,' said the Pittsburgh native, 43. Manganiello, who celebrated his fifth anniversary with the Modern Family beauty last month, explained to the outlet that the blue Mohawk comes during a time when he doesn't require a certain hairdo for a role. Manganiello stars in the upcoming film Archenemy as Max Fist, a man who claims he's a superhero in a different dimension who has lost his powers. "Everything generally that I do looks-wise has to do with some sort of role," he told the outlet. "This was one of the rare times when I had a couple of weeks to do something with my hair that I wanted to do." He debuted the blue mohawk (and showed off his massive biceps) in an Instagram gym selfie last month with the caption, "Time to go to work..."
