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 think 40 years ago, it would have been a little bit different because people had a tendency to think the actor was their part. I do find people who, all of a sudden, realize who is sitting in the restaurant and the first thing they react on is not necessarily, "There's that actor," but it's, "There's that killer guy."
Mads MikkelsenI ask a million questions, and I insist on having answers. I think that is what we have to do. I have to know what the director wants. Some are very much in their head, and I need to force it out of them. I just can't play around for eight hours and see if something happens.
Mads MikkelsenI guess they have to label someone the sexiest person in the world, and it is always someone who is on telly even if itโs the weatherman. For a couple of years it was me and then it was someone else. Itโs nicer being the sexiest man than the most ugly man. I live with it, and I donโt mind it, but I donโt go around with a big smile on my face everyday.
