I mean how can you not love Mads Mikkelsen. He
- met his wife while playing a drag queen
- spent the whole “Clash of the Titans” clusterfuck trolling Sam Worthington
- gives zero fucks about society’s expectation of what famous actors should behave like
- can wear the shit out of a suit, but prefers sportswear
- knows he is made of cheekbones. accepts it. uses it to his advantage
- went into dancing to score with dancers, stayed with it, went into acting after; two zero-guarantee careers right here and he made them work
- is always, always nice to fans.
- ships hannigram harder than Bryan Fuller.
- is so fucking talented. seriously. SO fucking talented. he’s a fucking national treasure in Denmark.
- threw serious shade at Lars Von Trier, and it was amazing.
also, he
- has never seen a Star Wars movie and didn’t even realize how big being in one would be.
- also probably had no idea how big a Marvel movie would be.
- still went with doing both because he
got really well paidgot to do air kung-fu and shit.- joined one of the most highly anticipated video games ever without understanding anything about the plot and/or video games.
- went salsa dancing with his Hannibal co-stars, director, and showrunner, despite saying he doesn’t dance in public anymore.
- did a Con and got drunk with a bunch of furries.
- also got onstage with a screamo band (during the same Con?) and shot toilet paper at the pit.
- wears every flower crown he’s ever been given. it’s like a thing. sometimes wears two at the same time.
- once wore a pink “rosé over bitches” sweatshirt while completely smashed and it was great.
- proudly played the ‘Bitch’ in Rihanna’s Bitch Better Have My Money video and didn’t get why it was such a big deal.
- avoided major injury in a crash where he was sent flying from his motorcycle but managed to flip in midair and land perfectly on his feet.
Mads Mikkelsen is a centuries old immortal that doesn’t quite grasp the modern concept of celebrity, in this essay I will
