I was a very focused kid. I always had this crazy lifestyle... billions of jobs, two hours of gymnastics every day, handball, anything with a ball, really. I must have had ADHD or something. I was very energetic, and very small. I didn't start growing until the last year of high school.
Mads MikkelsenI was a gymnast for many years before I was a dancer, so it comes in pretty handy when I do stunts.
Mads MikkelsenI come from a culture where you don't divide it up to what you can do on TV and what you can do on film.
Mads MikkelsenI tend not to have any references to anything. I just jump into the script in front of me. If you reference too much, you have no idea if the performances are right.
Mads MikkelsenI would have turned any offer down, if it had turned into a thriller. I would have seen no point in a thriller here. I don't need to entertain people, on top of what we were doing. It's not a question of whether he did it or not. I would have thought that was banal and uninteresting, and I wouldn't care. And it could have also turned into a shoot-out because there were a lot of guns in the film.
