Here are five things that you may not know about New Jersey's governor, Chris Christie.

1. His uncle's brother was involved with the Genovese crime family, where he was "twice convicted of racketeering, sentenced to 25 years in federal prison, and linked by investigators to several grisly murders, including one in which a victim was strangled with piano wire."

2. He loves the Dallas Cowboys, the arch nemesis of the New York Giants, who strangely enough play in New Jersey, and the Philadelphia Eagles, who play on the border of Pennsylvania and New Jersey.

3. One of his favorite musicians is New Jersey's beloved son, Bruce Springsteen. Springsteen does not take kindly to Christie however. He snubbed the governor's inaugural ball in 2009.

4. He loves donuts.

5. He has lost over 100 lbs. thanks to a gastric bypass surgery.
