Transformers Josh Duhamel put his pole to good use.

A stripping pole, that is, that he gave to wife Fergie whom he married in January.

"I've played on the pole more than she has," the hunky thesp revealed.

"If you know my wife, she's a perfectionist and won't get on it until she's good, so she wants to take a class first."

"So the pole is really just decorative at this point."

Among other things.
