I think 40 years ago, it would have been a little bit different because people had a tendency to think the actor was their part.

Mads MikkelsenI'm not the kind of actor who runs around and insists on being called Stravinsky by everybody, and my family has to call me Igor. I'm not that kind of actor. I think that's pretentious.
Mads MikkelsenYeah, I do all the stuff I can. Letโs be frank, if you are in an action film, you are not in it for the characters, you are in it for the action โ the stunts. If they take that away from you, itโs a sad story. Ha ha! I have damaged everything: knees, elbows, ribs. But Iโm an old gymnast. I know how to survive.
