1. How did you get into modeling?
It was during Covid, and I had a couple of different friends who suggested it. I had thought about it when I was young, even though then acting was really my passion, so I figured I needed to try it out!
2. What are you doing if you are not modeling?
I have a full time job doing business development, and otherwise I of course keep in shape at the gym.
3. The most spontaneous/difficult/strange thing you’ve ever done?
I love doing new things – constantly challenging myself and the norms (who starts modelling at the age of 54 in the middle of a global shutdown?). For instance: at one time I moved across the Atlantic, to the US, to start the US operations for my company from scratch.
4. What’s your life motto?
It’s never too late
5. Describe your personal style – Favorite Brands/Fragrance/or?
Classic modern. I like to feel “dressed” at all times – also at home, or traveling. There are many Swedish brands I like, but my favorite is J Lindeberg. And I of couse also use the Swedish perfumes from Byredo. I’m a patriot
6. What genre of music best describes you?
Current POP – I love to sing along!
7. Where are your roots – The best thing about/to do in your hometown?
I’m from the west coast of Sweden, from a town with a water fall and amazing locks which is very nict to visit in the summer. However the better part is at the coast, where I spent my summers growing up. Nothing beats the barren islands and the salty water there.
8. Do you have one celebrity you would like to get busy with!
Haha I’m not super fascinated by celebrities… Maybe also because I know that will never happen. I prefer to fantasize about things that are more likely to happen… and winning the Lottery of course!
9. Do you have any special talents?
Acting is really where I hope to go next (it’s never to late!) – where my true passion lies. And I hope it is not only me who thinks I have a talent there
10. What do you think is the most interesting engaging thing online at the moment?
I know it’s very hyped, and everyone claims to be involved in this at the moment, but AI is still something that will have a huge influence in our lives. I remember the time when there was no Internet, and the change this brought. We are looking at a change of at least the same magnitude, but probably at an even faster pace. Exciting!!!
