Actor Manganiello: ‘I was friends with Antonio Brown … He turned villain’

You probably know Joe Manganiello from Magic Mike, True Blood or just for being Sofia Vergara's husband.

In addition to his lengthy resume in Hollywood, however, the Mt. Lebanon, Pa., native Manganiello bleeds black and gold. He's a self-described "huge Pirates fan" and he's been spotted at Penguins and Steelers games aplenty. Growing up 15 minutes from the stadiums will do that.

However, when you combine such star-power with a passion for the team, unique doors open. Manganiello has shared the field with the Steelers in warm-ups, and he's even become friends with some of the players.
