"Magic Mike XXL" stars Channing Tatum and Matt Bomer brought the heat up as they danced on their movie-themed float at the LA Gay Pride parade on Sunday.

Tatum and Bomer surprised fans and pride attendees when they made an appearance at the parade. The two were joined by another "Magic Mike XXL", Adam Rodriguez, according to People.

The float was escorted by police on motorcycles as Tatum, Bomer, and Rodriguez together with shirtless men dressed as strippers danced their way through the parade.

Tatum sported a white shirt and cargo shorts with a baseball cap worn backwards. He accessorized his ensemble with matching bandana and sweat cuffs in a rainbow color scheme, the symbol of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) pride.

 

Hordes of rabid fans screamed as the trio and their backup dancers moved to Ginuwine's 1996 R&B hit "Pony," according to E! Online. At some point during the dance, Tatum, 35, twerked on the float as it passed by squealing spectators. Meanwhile, Bomer, 37, only danced for a bit at the sides.

It seems that Tatum and the marketing team of "Magic Mike XXL" are getting creative with their promotional tours.

Not long ago, Tatum disguised himself as Scott Hasley, "the most terrifying marketing exec ever." According to USA Today, the actor went to great lengths to go undercover to pull a prank on some fans during the "Magic Mike XXL" screening. Dressed as Hasley, his pitch was to get feedback from unsuspecting fans regarding the first movie for "market research."

Fans uncovered the truth when Tatum revealed himself and danced during the "3-D experience" at the movie screening.

It turns out that the prank was intended for a charity. Tatum made a deal with Omaze, a charity fundraising platform, to offer one lucky winner plus a friend to attend the red carpet of the premiere and VIP after-party of "Magic Mike XXL." The lucky fans will also be flown to Los Angeles and stay in a 4-star hotel, get a luxury spa day and a tux or gown fitting for the party.

To enter, you can make any donations starting at $10. Donations sent through Omaze will benefit the Runa Foundation, a non-profit that protects tropical forests and an organization that Tatum personally supports.

"Magic Mike XXL" will be showing on theaters on July 1.
