James Marsden is sexy. So sexy that (at least) one other straight male star has taken notice.

The “Westworld” leading man, 43, receives a lot of attention for his — let’s just call it what it is — perfect face. But, he told AOL Entertainment, he’s come to realize that when men say, “My wife has a crush on you,” it’s sometimes a bit of a cover.

“Sometimes guys have a problem expressing their admiration for another guy. ‘Oh, my wife likes you,'” he told AOL Entertainment as he prepared to face off against Joel McHale in Doritos’ Bold or Boom Challenge. “What they’re trying to tell you is that they have a man-crush. Which, not to put too fine a point on it, might be the dynamic today.”

In the midst of the huge crowds, action-packed panels and entertainment installations at San Diego Comic-Con, James Marsden and Joel McHale waged a “war” over an “age-old” debate: whether Nacho Cheese or Cool Ranch Doritos are better.

Why? Because they were celebrity team captains for a Doritos fan event called the “Bold or Boom Challenge,” for which two teams of fans were assembled to compete in an athletic challenge for McHale’s Team Cool Ranch and Marsden’s Team Nacho Cheese. PEOPLE caught up with the two TV stars before the event to find out how they got themselves involved in the contest and whether or not they actually eat Doritos. Unexpectedly, the conversation veered into hilarious places. Here’s an excerpt from their quippy back-and-forth:

James Marsden: We are coaching two volunteer teams assembled. Joel’s team is Cool Ranch. My team is Nacho Cheese, we’re basically doing the Lord’s work today.

Nacho Cheese Superfan James Marsden Guides Team to Victory over Joel McHale’s Cool Ranch Team in Doritos’ “Bold or Boom Challenge” at MTV Fandom Fest

With the world’s largest entertainment conference as a backdrop, Doritos hosted the “Bold or Boom Challenge” – an obstacle-course of epic proportions pitting celebrities and fans in an arena in which only the boldest prevailed. Headlining the festivities were celebrity captains including Team Nacho Cheese’s James Marsden and Team Cool Ranch leader Joel McHale.

It was Team Nacho Cheese that prevailed, a boon for Doritos Nacho Cheese fans nationwide who witnessed the challenge on Doritos’ social media channels. For one week at least, the debate was settled between fans of Doritos Nacho Cheese and fans of Doritos Cool Ranch. The challenge was open to fans who wanted to test their endurance and skill to see who could stay standing as rotating “boom” arms attempted to knock them off course. Only the boldest participants remained.

James Marsden, despite his prolific oeuvre, starts with a clean slate in HBO’s Westworld – quite literally. In the first scene with co-star Anthony Hopkins, he stripped down to his birthday suit.

“First scene ever with Sir Anthony and I was naked as the day I was born,” Marsden quips and quickly shrugs it off with a megawatt smile as we sit down for the interview in Geneva.

“But I embraced it. I love those bizarre situations I found myself in Westworld,” he adds.
