He made women swoon in boyband 98 Degrees, and now Jeff Timmons is hoping to do it all again - but this time in a new strip show.
The 41-year-old, who was part of the popular Nineties group with Nick and Drew Lachey and Justin Jeffe, split in 2000 to pursue their own individual projects, one of which being Timmons' adult male revue called Men of the Strip.
Timmons displays his impressive, all-American physique below as well as his days as a Chippendale dancer in Vegas, cheekily posing on the red carpet, to a more polished style as creator, host and performer in the new show.
We pledge allegiance: Jeff Timmons is a co-creator, host, and performer of new adult male review tour 'Men of the Strip'
It's not the first time he has flexed his muscle on stage - he performed with the Chippendales in 2011 at the Rio Hotel in Las Vegas.
But he promises this show will raise the temperature even higher with his new act, describing it as 'more modern and more hip'.
He told Us Weekly: '[Men of the Strip] is still edgy, sexy and girls can let loose, but it's more about the production.
Upon the group disbanding in 2000, the members pursued various projects and have had success, but re-united in 2013 upon completing a new album and joining New Kids on the Block and Boyz II Men 2.0. on tour.
After suffering a failed solo career and marriage, Nick Lachey found happiness with current wife, 33 year-old Melissa (Vanessa) Mannillo, with whom he shares a son, 18-month-old Camden.
Younger brother and former band member, Drew Lachey, competed and won on the second season of the hit show, Dancing With the Stars, has since married and has two children, and Justin Jeffre went into politics running for major of Ciccinati in 2005 and has continued pursuing an active political career.
'It's a real show with lighting design and great music that we've put together. We're trying to make it a Broadway-esque production -- sound, lights, and amazing choreography!'
He said his former band mates are supportive of his stripping career, telling the publication: 'I'm always the guy that does sort of the edgy things of the group, and they're familiar with all that. They're very supportive but I don't know that they quite understand it!'
Glenn Douglas Packard, an Emmy-nominated choreographer who has worked with the likes of Michael Jackson, Destiny's Child and Pink, is hoping to bring Cirque Du Soleil-like acrobatics and Broadway theatrics to the show.
According to The Wrap, the eight men joining Timmons include a former college football star, a Latin soap star, wrestler in training, and a former porn star.
Timmons is also hoping the show will launch him back into the spotlight and has plans to turn the act into a reality show, according to The Wrap.
The U.S. tour began November 1 and will continue running through December 20, 2013 in Charlotte, North Carolina.
