Up Close with 'Mamma Mia''s Hunk!

Get to know Dominic Cooper!

Hold on to your ABBA CDs, ladies, because Brit hunk Dominic Cooper is burning up the big screen in the new movie version of 'Mamma Mia!, in theaters on July 18. We're sitting down with the 30-year-old stage star to find out about those steamy beachside scenes with co-star Amanda Seyfried, and his secret love for the super-group's irresistible pop tunes!

"The sad thing is you can't really admit that, growing up as a man in London," he says of his fondness for ABBA.

The tall, dark and handsome actor won raves on stage for his part as Dakin on Broadway in the prep-school drama, The History Boys. He jokes that he wasn't prepared for the singing audition for 'Mamma Mia!, saying, "I sound like some kind of strangulated wildebeest that's in serious trouble."

He makes up for it by playing most of the sun-kissed movie as dreamy "Sky," wearing little more than a bathing suit. 

"I learned to like him because he was funny," says co-star Amanda, "and then we had to make out!"
