Wowza, Jon Secada Talks About His Chippendales Alter-Ego (at 47!)

But that would require few lessons from his fellow shirtless fellows. "I would need some training to do what they do," says Secada. "Just a little of the bump and grind, just to do it the right way."

The Cuban-America singer, who has been holding down the Simon Cowell spot on 'Latin American Idol' for the last four years, has evolved into a hardcore workout machine since his time in the American spotlight.

"It's been baby steps for the past couple of years," he says. He runs five miles a day, works out with weights three times a week and does an estimated 500 ab crunches a day. "I know it works because I hate it every time I do it," he says of the crunches.

Secada also has hardcore "eating ethics," which means balanced meals, no pasta or bread at night and sugar-free desserts when he has to have a treat.

"Between the workout and the eating, I have made it my lifestyle."

Secada's transformation has been so phenomenal that a Spanish-speaking Miami radio station featured his picture on its website and took a poll -- and some 69 percent of voters thought the picture was of Secada's head on someone else's body.

Secada, who stopped by the Miami station in person to show off his bod, insists it's all him. And the stripping/singing career could heat up.

"It could happen," he muses. "Either way, I love that I am in my late 40s and I still stay in shape."
