WHAT YOU DON'T KNOW ABOUT ME

Josh Duhamel owns the fact that he can be a little competitive. Especially every summer when he gets together with a tight-knit group of guy friends and they play their favorite childhood games. "There's a core group of us, some from kindergarten," he explains. "This year we played pickleball, Wiffle ball, and we throw one game in there that's just ridiculous. If you didn't know we were best friends, you'd think we're worst enemies the way we talk to each other." The actor, 50, and dad to son Axl Jack, 10, with ex-wife Fergie, is now bringing that biggame energy to his new CBS reality show Buddy Games, on which teams of friends compete against each other in absurd outdoor challenges. Having just returned from this summer's get-together, Duhamel, now married to model Audra Mari, 29, and expecting their first child together, chatted with People about even more things that get his motor running.
