While he’s immortalized as a romance novel cover model throughout the ’80s and ’90s, Fabio has quite the sense of humor.
Fabio, otherwise known as Fabio Lanzoni, joined PEOPLE in the ’90s, a podcast on Audacy, for an hour-long conversation.
The Milan-born hunk shared a story that will make you giggle like a gaggle of geese on the pod, explaining the story behind a scary situation that involved a goose.
In 1999, the star was asked by Busch Gardens in Williamsburg, Virginia, to ride their new Apollo’s Chariot rollercoaster in the Festa Italia section of the amusement park. When he was about to ride the rollercoaster, he was all smiles.
However, when the ride stopped, the beautiful man’s face was all covered in blood.
“It was a miracle. That was a miracle,” Fabio said.
“So the rollercoaster goes down at 80 miles an hour, 80, 85 miles an hour, over a pond and back up, and then upside down. So when it came down and went over the pond at like 80, 85 miles an hour. So what happened is, over the pond there was a bunch of geese there. I’m talking about hundreds. And one got sucked in. I saw this very up close. The geese hit the video camera. What happened, the goose hit the video camera. The video camera shattered. At 85 miles per hour,” he shared.

Fabio then said that the bridge of his nose was cut and “because then it was all the rest of the ride after I was cut upside down, of course, the blood rushes to your head,” he said.
He noted the injury wasn’t that bad.
“They thought, ‘Oh my God, it was like a broken nose and this and that,’” he said. “My nose wasn’t broken. You know how big was the cut? One stitch.”
