-Yes, you are crazy! It was insanely good!
Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, better known as the villain Jamie Lannister from “Game of Thrones”, straightens up. Fires head a notch up and move your body needs. Right at the edge of the chair. The reason for this reaction is the question whether he “Headhunters” would like to go back to Jo Nesbø universe, such as the role of the protagonist goes police detective Harry Hole.
-A fantastic role. But I think it’s 3000 second actors in line for Harry Hole. But, he says, smiling broadly. – Where do I deliver your application?
It is early spring in Copenhagen and the Danish last star on the international film Heaven has made the journey from suburban Kongens Lyngby city center. Surrounded by a stylist and a few pr-workers, he will meet the press today. And they meet women and in force. For the 42-year-old actress is hotter than ever. Last week was the premiere of success thriller “Mama”, this weekend Coster-Waldau can be seen in the Tom Cruise sci-fi epic “Oblivion”. This fall he hit that husband of Juliette Binoche in Erik Poppe’s new film “A Thousand Times Goodnight”, and last but definitely most, his participation in the giant television series “Game of Thrones”, which has just begun in round 3 of the pay channels C More and HBO Nordic in Norway – and as of this moment are illegally downloaded on countless PCs worldwide. If he seems completely unmoved by all the incense, it is because he has long training. Thanks thriller “Night Watch” (1994), Coster-Waldau was an overnight sensation – in the country.
-I came straight from drama school to “Night Watch”, and after that it went just like that, he says, clapping his hands together.
-To be recognized on the street came very fast. In the U.S. curve relatively lenient until about five years ago when it started to get steeper upward. There has been a more organic – and better – career path, he says.
“Oblivion”, he has not yet seen, and so can not say much more about it than that to work with Tom Cruise was an exceptionally pleasant experience. Horror movie “Mama” However, he has a definite opinion about.
-Oh, I’m really bad at watching horror movie. I like simply looking at them.
-You are afraid?
Coster-Waldau nods slowly.
-Fortunately, it is not as anxiety-inducing to make horror like looking at them.
-So the recording of “Mama” was no unpleasant experience?
No, no! I do not mind playing in scary movies. It is seeing them afterwards I did not l ike.
Fortunately for the filmmakers of “Mama”, it is obvious that many are tougher than Coster-Waldau. The film was one of winter’s great public successes in the United States.
“The things I do for love” , says the handsome knight and pushes an innocent child out of the window high up in a tower. To introduce Jamie Lannister in the first episode of “Game of Thrones”, undoubtedly one of the most interesting – and so far most hated figures tv series. Of course Coster-Waldau love him.
-There are many good roles in the series, but it was Jamie I always wanted to play. The opening is extreme. He tries to kill a child while he fucks with his twin sister. It’s so dark, so twisted, as it can be. But I know how it ends, I know the books. And I can say that he is changing.
-Our perception of him change as well?
-Yes. The beauty of having a tv series that extends over such a long tim e is that we have time to get all the way around, if you know. Everyone thinks he is a man without honor, an unreliable guy and a royal assassin. But Jamie’s own view is the opposite.
-Norwegian Kristofer Hivju also plays in season three. Have you had any scenes with him?
-Absolutely not. I doubt that we’re going to have it, says Coster-Waldau, adding that the production is so great, and recorded in such different places as Morocco, Iceland, Ireland, Malta and Croatia, there are several actors He barely greeted.
-In conjunction with the premiere of the third season we were all flown out to Los Angeles. The night before we had dinner at the hotel and it was the first time I shook hands with several of the actors. And now we are finished with the third season! It’s crazy, it’s so big it here.
-We like watching a kind of idea that you all know each other? …?
He laughs.
That’s right whatsoever.
-If you have n ever lived in an English speaking country, how did you become so proficient at speaking English completely free accent?
-Exercise. It’s one of the things I underestimated. How long it took. And I still work with it. It’s not just a matter of muscle and technique, it is also about emotions. It is interesting how deep accent and language remain in us.
You’re still living in Copenhagen. How long is it until you need to move to Los Angeles?
Coster-Waldau stroking through her hair.
-My wife is from Greenland, and we could perhaps lived there for a time. I can also well imagine staying in the U.S., but do not know where. I never work in Los Angeles. So here my family there and stare? No, it is better to be living here.
Nukâka called the wife of Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, and she can boast of having been named Miss Greenland before she moved to Denmark and trained as an actor. The couple has two daughters, nine and twelve.
-Having a baby has of course changed me. It’s about all things existential. The meaning of life and all that. Focus moves and you love someone else more than you. It makes sense to many things in life. Also my job. It’s incredibly satisfying to be able to support his family, he says.
Even grew Nikolaj Coster-Waldau into Tybjerg, which he himself describes as a “tiny little village” on South Zealand.
Forty-residents and three houses, and I grew up in one of them, he says, laughing.
Her mother was a librarian, and his father worked abroad, mainly in Greenland. Coster-Waldau has been open about her father’s drinking problem, but has also been careful to make that he was more than “just an alcoholic.” Despite the problems it created, he describes his childhood as “Skøn and dejlig.” But it is far from a tiny village in a corner of Denmark, London, New York and Hollywood, places young Nikolaj dreamed about. So already the age of 17 he moved to Copenhagen.
-When I finished high school.
-Even when you were 17?
Yeah, I started very early in the school. When I was five.
-Prodigy?
-Not at all! I think my mom was just tired of having me at home, he says and smiles.
The large Norwegian public – not yet become hooked on “Game of Thrones “- Nikolaj Coster is-Waldau perhaps best known as Aksel Hennie nemesis in” Headhunters “.
-Fantastic! exclaims the actor spontaneously when the movie is mentioned. -? There was a skide good manuscript, Aksel Hennie is a fantastic actor and Morten Tyldum is an amazing director.
- “Headhunters” recently won the British Empire award for best thriller and has obtained director Tyldum job in Hollywood. Are you surprised that the film has done so well internationally?
-One could well believe that it would be a success in Norway, perhaps in Scandinavia, but the Empire Award winner, is completely insane. Absolutely fantastic. And that’s a big compliment to Morten Tyldum, it is first and foremost his profits.
You’re too soon in the Erik Poppe’s “A Thousand Times Goodnight”.
Yes, it was a great experience working with Erik. An incredibly talented and very brave director. I rarely get the urge to use the word artist, but in this case it is appropriate.
-You have also worked with Nils Lynx in “Misery Harbour” and “Kautokeino Rebellion”. Is there a common feature that distinguishes Norwegian directors from others?
-The three could just as well come from three different countries. What they have in common is that they all are very personal and very passionate. It was all very good experiences. I will certainly return. When talking about the difference between American and European productions, it is primarily the size that separates them.
Terms of size is hardly something that transcends “Game of Thrones “. If everything goes according to plan going series, which is probably the most expensive made for TV so far, to roll and go for at least four years. Nikolaj Coster-Waldau have enough find-I see it as a problem to be recognized, but sometimes it happens I’m a little jealous of Lena Heady and Emilia Clark who use the wig in the series, and therefore not as easy to recognize private , he said and added that the enormous success of “Game of Thrones” came as a surprise to him as it did to all the contributors.
-In Denmark, the first season barely been shown on television, so when I went to Comic Con in the U.S. after the premiere and met a hall with six thousand fans went completely crazy, it felt overwhelming. And strangely. It’s just a TV show, he says, stroking himself-but sometimes I wish I could cut myself, Jamie Lannister very similar to me. Sadly.
