Fabio Lanzoni

Fabio Lanzoni (; born March 15, 1959), known mononymously as Fabio, is an Italian-American actor, fashion model, and spokesman. Lanzoni is known for his wide-ranging career including appearing as a romance novel cover model throughout the 1990s, his acting and television roles including multiple cameo appearances as himself, and his music and books. He has been a spokesman for I Can't Believe It's Not Butter! and the American Cancer Society. Early life Lanzoni was born 15 March 1959 in Milan, Italy, to Flora Carnicelli Lanzoni and Sauro Lanzoni, a mechanical engineer and owner of a conveyor-belt factory and/or company. Lanzoni has an older brother, Walter (who The Spokesman-Review described as short and bald), and younger sister, Cristina. Lanzoni's father wanted Lanzoni to become an engineer and take over the family business. When he was 3 years old, Lanzoni sampled liquors that were left on the kitchen counter, leading to him being hospitalized. Lanzoni claims this unpleasant experience "left a lasting bad impression" and caused his lifelong aversion to alcohol.
