North Dakota’s Josh Duhamel is calling the state one of the nation’s best-kept secrets.
The Minot native appeared on NBC’s “Today Show” Thursday morning to promote North Dakota Tourism’s new 2016 campaign that features Duhamel.
Duhamel, who’s also starring in an upcoming move with Al Pacino and Anthony Hopkins, told the “Today Show” hosts, “I grew up there, and when I moved away, nobody knew anything about it.
“It’s beautiful,” he said.
Duhamel’s appearance also included clips from TV spots produced last summer over eight days of shooting in the state, including one with the actor pushing a hay bale.

The actor is also featured on promotional materials distributed by North Dakota Tourism, including the cover of its 2016 Travel Guide and the Hunting and Fishing guide.
