Michael Strahan's 'Magic Mike' Audition on RACHEL RAY Season Premiere Pays Off

On RACHAEL RAY's season premiere earlier this month, Michael Strahan showed Rachel his best "Magic Mike" audition - and today on Live With Kelly & Michael, he confirmed that he will have a cameo in the upcoming film, "Magic Mike XXL."

Michael brought the moves as part of a challenge to help Rachael kick off her season-long #9MillionMeals campaign, to donate nine million meals to food banks and pantries across America. His dance raised $500 for the cause - he's danced on Live before, as well, and now he'll get the chance to show his off his moves in the movie, too!

"Magic Mike" stars Channing Tatum, Matt Bomer, Joe Manganiello, Kevin Nash, Adam Rodriguez and Gabriel Iglesias are reuniting for the hotly anticipated sequel "Magic Mike XXL," beginning production on September 29th, for director Gregory Jacobs. The announcement was made today by Greg Silverman, President of Creative Development and Worldwide Production, and Sue Kroll, President of Worldwide Marketing and International Distribution, Warner Bros. Pictures.

Joining the returning cast, in brand new roles, will be Elizabeth Banks ("The Hunger Games" franchise), Donald Glover ("Community"), Amber Heard ("The Rum Diary"), Andie MacDowell ("Footloose"), Jada Pinkett Smith ("Gotham") and Michael Strahan ("Live with Kelly and Michael").

"Magic Mike XXL" is set for release on Wednesday, July 1, 2015.
