“Rocky” star Dolph Lundgren and his new wife Emma Krokdal got their U.S. citizenship this week. The actor explained that his naturalization ceremony came 40 years after he moved to the country. 

“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.

Krokdal, 27, also shared a photo of herself holding the flag along with her citizenship papers. 

Lundgren’s first starring role in a movie was as Ivan Drago in 1985’s “Rocky IV.”

He’s also in “The Expendables” franchise and was in “Aquaman and the Last Kingdom” last year.
