Dancer and actor Tatum was accosted by fans eager to get his autograph, while Joe flew under the radar, slinking through the airport almost unnoticed.

Tatum, 35, eschewed a casual vibe in a charcoal denims, a white T-shirt and a khaki jacket, and added some hipster flare with a brown felt hat, a pair of aviators and a brown workman boots.

Closely guarded by his security, the affable  21 Jump Street star made time for his devoted fan-base, scrawling his signature across a multitude of paraphernalia and posing for selfies.

Meanwhile, Manganiello, 38, attracted less attention striding through the Sydney terminal in a pair of skinny jeans and a white T-shirt, which he wore under a checked shirt and a black jacket.  

The handsome fiance of actress Sofia Vergara looked deep in thought as he kept his eyes down, cutting a rugged figure with his chunky spectacles in place.

With a holdall slung over his right shoulder and wearing a pair of Nike high tops, the stripping sensation looked far more demure than his oiled up on screen character.

The American actor arrived in Sydney on Sunday ahead of Monday night's premiere and is no doubt eager to return to his Colombian girlfriend, 42.
