North Dakota's Josh Duhamel is a HUGE Minnesota Vikings fan.

The Minot, North Dakota native, like most of us in North Dakota, grew up cheering for the purple and gold.

Josh has continued his love for the Minnesota Vikings as he's grown older and is often a fixture on the sidelines at Minnesota home games and even following Vikes around the country cheering for his favorite team at road games.

Football has always been a big part of Josh Duhamel's life growing up in North Dakota.

According to Wikipedia, he was the backup quarterback for Minot State Beavers. He also played football at Minot High. He had planned on becoming a dentist but ended up following a girlfriend out to California where he was first discovered as a model.

Duhamel's big break may have come when he starred in a couple of music videos for Donna Summer and Christina Aguilera.  Remember the song "Genie in a Bottle?"

Here's that video that I bet you didn't know Duhamel had a brief cameo. Don't blink, he's featured at the 2:11 mark.

Those videos just may have opened the doors for his acting career, which has seen him with major movie roles in the Transformers series, Safe Haven, When in Rome, and so many more.

Duhamel also appeared on the small screen on the soap opera "All My Children" and the TV Series "Las Vegas".

Getting back to Josh Duhamel's love for the Minnesota Vikings.

He was recently spotted in a suite doing a little dance and celebrating a big win over the Green Bay Packers in Minneapolis this past week. Check out these moves!

I think it's a pretty good bet you will find Josh Duhamel in Detroit this Sunday night as the Vikings try to sew up the #1 seed in the NFL.
