Joe Manganiello

Manganiello is synonymous with the Steelers and other sports teams like the Penguins. He has voiced over his hometown team’s hype videos and other various things like documentaries. He is the most outspoken Pittsburgh fanboy out of the Hollywood celebrities and it’s not even close. No matter what he is doing this is home to him. Manganiello finds all kinds of ways to get back to cheer on the black and gold in person or on TV. He refuses to miss games and constantly wears Steelers gear. His wife Sofia Vergara even spoke about the incident on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, saying he wears it like it’s a name brand.

His upbringing in Pittsburgh and graduation from Carnegie Mellon brought him from his nerdy upbringing to stardom in Hollywood. He would go on to play roles in things like True Blood, Magic Mike, Spider-Man, Scrubs, and Justice League. He was even rumored to play a role in a scrapped Batman film. Manganiello is the craziest Steelers fan that has made it big as he constantly brings his severe black and gold addiction to the forefront. No matter what he is doing, the Steelers will always be a huge portion of his heart. His family still lives in the area and his visits always try to include a trip to Heinz Field.

Many celebrities wear the black and gold on Sundays but those listed above are the biggest. Some of them are local but the fandom of the Steelers are world-wide.
