Time for another '90s teen heartthrob ready to take it all off? That's right, former "Beverly Hills, 90210" star Ian Ziering has just inked a deal with the Las Vegas Chippendales to strip down onstage during the month of June, according to TMZ.

The 49-year-old actor -- who is expecting his second child with wife Erin Ludwig in May -- follows in the footsteps of former "Blossom" star Joey Lawrence and 98 Degrees musician Jeff Timmons, all of whom joined the revue show as celebrity guest members.

Ziering is hardly the first celebrity in Hollywood to flex his pecs onstage, of course. Check out these other stars who have admitted to stripping in the past in our gallery below.

Male Celebrities Who Used To Be Strippers

If we didn't already know, all of the brouhaha over Steven Soderbergh's flick "Magic Mike" certainly would never let us forget it: Tatum worked as a stripper at a local nightclub in Florida before hitting it big in 2006's "Step Up." The best part? Us Weekly found a video of it (NSFW). (credit:Getty)
Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino(02 of08)

Before he gained a bigger audience with "Jersey Shore," Sorrentino showed a strip club what "the situation" was all about -- by serving drinks shirtless. But he copped to actually stripping down once, telling Jay Leno on "The Tonight Show": "I really didn't like the costume ... My birthday is on the Fourth of July so they had some like, I don't know if I was Uncle Sam, but it was some sort of Uncle Sam with a thong and I wasn't really feeling it." (credit:Getty)

Shortly after 98 Degrees singer Jeff Timmons, "Bachelor" star Pavelka followed suit. Well, sort of: The former pilot-turned-reality-show-star tried his hand at hosting the notorious male revue in early 2012. (credit:Getty)

The Spanish hunk proved he was more than just a beefcake (hello, "Jamon, Jamon") when he took a chilling turn in the Coen brothers' 2007 flick, "No Country For Old Men" (and won an Oscar for it too). But at around age 20, Bardem was strapped for cash so he turned to stripping one weekend, then did what any guy would do: invite his mother. "I danced one night in a place, there was a club. And they asked for a guy to kind of make a striptease and I did it... It was for ten minutes. I needed money ... My mother was there in the audience. She was so proud," the actor has said.
