The 57-year-old heartthrob officially became a U.S. citizen earlier this week, and just like the rest of America, he thinks there's no better way to spend a Sunday afternoon than being glued in front of the television to watch some good ole' football.

And of course, Fabio has a team that he's incredibly devoted to –- and it'll definitely surprise you.

"I've been a fan of the Seattle Seahawks since I was 19-years-old," the celeb told AOL in an exclusive interview.

While Russell Wilson and Richard Sherman definitely top his list of favorite Seattle players, there's one jersey he's most proud of wearing.

"I love Marshawn Lynch," he gushed.

And Fabio, who many know best as the muscular hunk who lit up dozens of romance novels in the '80s and '90s, clearly isn't kidding around when it comes to his Seahawks loyalty -- he even bought 500 acres of land in a rural area east of Seattle.

With all that land, we're sure he could build a massive stadium and start an NFL franchise of his own!
