When asked which of his co-stars was the most entertaining to work with, Pettyfer said, "I guess Channing because he's lived this before. The rest of the guys were nervous, but we all banded together like brothers and got our strip on."

He then revealed that Matthew McConaughey was "gung-ho" from day one. "He had on these little Spandex thongs and a yellow top."

Alex, who is reportedly engaged to his onscreen love interest, Elvis' granddaughter Riley Keough, spoke of their relationship on set. "You know what, with any talented actress or someone that is very approachable, it makes everything easy. Riley is an amazing person to get along with... I've been very lucky in those situations."
