About Fabio Lanzoni

Fabio Lanzoni, known mononymously as Fabio, is an Italian-American actor, fashion model, and spokesman. Lanzoni is known for his wide-ranging career including work as a romance novel cover model throughout the late 1980s into the 1990s, roles in film and television including multiple cameo appearances as himself, and music and books. He has been a spokesman for I Can't Believe It's Not Butter! and the American Cancer Society. During the first five years of Lanzoni's life, he was raised primarily by his grandmother, whom he has called "the most influential woman" in his life. Lanzoni first came to the United States at the age of 13; he intended to stay, but his parents forbade him due to his age. He claims he first became aware of his magnetism in kindergarten, then first rode a motorbike at age eight and developed a lifelong fascination with motorcycles and dirt bikes. His modelling career began when he was discovered by a photographer while working out.
