The criteria [to take or refuse the role] is that I would love to have some kind of dialogue or communication with the director. I need to understand that we can communicate and that we like communication. That's something I have to have a strong feeling about. Secondly, I have to find the script intriguing or interesting. I don't have to understand the whole script, but I do have to find it intriguing. If those two things are present, that would probably be a yes.
Mads MikkelsenI do read some of the scripts from America and, even though the themes or subject of the film is very interesting, and some of the scenes are very interesting, there is a tendency that they have to explain everything. There will be no dilemma. This guy was evil, and this girl was very sweet. And in the end, we'd have to see eight endings because we'd also have to know what happened to the uncle. It's like, "Are you kidding me?!"
Mads MikkelsenI dont wear cologne. I do occasionally, but anytime I take a shower, I just put on deodorant. Thats basically what I smell like.
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.
