While we're still a little bummed that Matthew McConaughey didn't make a cameo in Magic Mike XXL, we're not above totally worshipping his moves as Dallas in the original. (Of course, there are still plenty of talented dancers in the sequel.) McConaughey turns 46 this week, meaning it's a time of celebration! We're using his special day as an excuse to trot out Dallas's 11 best moments in Magic Mike. Enjoy, ladies of Tampa and beyond.
