"Finally did it!" he wrote on Instagram Tuesday. "I’ve been in this country on and off for 40 years now. First as a student then as a fighter and an actor. America has given me some wonderful opportunities and an amazing life. I’m proud to become a US citizen and officially make this my home."
Lundgren, 66, shared a photo of himself holding his papers and an American flag after the Monday ceremony.

Lundgren was born in Sweden, and Krokdal is originally from Norway.
The two met at a gym in Los Angeles in 2019 where he was a member, and she worked as a personal trainer. They married in a small ceremony at their villa in Mykonos, Greece, last summer.

Lundgren told Graham Bensinger last year that Krokdal, who is nearly 40 years his junior, is "very mature for her age, for sure. She's had an interesting life. She came over here from a small town in Norway. She was married here, and she went through a difficult divorce and went through a lot of stuff that most young people her age don't have to deal with."
"So she's quite mature and at the same time, I think I'm quite youthful," he added.
