level 14
– Yes, except when I lost my driving licence, haha. I really don't know why it is this way. But I don't say yes to everything, even though I get lots of requests. I would never be on "Wipeout" for example. That seems pretty crazy fun and I'd like to try it but not on tv.
Ha
s it happened that you neglected to do something because you're famous?
– Yes, I was so shy at the beginning, and not used to this celebrity world. Now I'm quite comfortable in that role and feel like I can be myself. But maybe I would not take the subway on a Saturday night. I actually haven't been underground for a long time.
Are you a party guy?
– I like to go out more when I am abroad. I think it has to do with heat. But of course, I go out when I am at home too.
What do you spend the most money on?
– Travel and food. I love Italian food and when I'm out I eat a lot. My favorite restaurants are Italiano and Papà in Stockholm.
What makes you cry?
– Sometimes it can come out of nowhere and you have no idea why you're are crying. I can cry over movies.
You wrote a song for the Crown Princess Victoria and Prince Daniel's wedding.
– Yes, I actually got a letter from Victoria and Daniel after the wedding. I met them for the first time in the backstage at Beyonce's concert and it was really nice. Just before I had met Beyoncé and became completely starstruck! She is special and I just stood and smiled and she said to me "You're cute". And I replied: "Thanks, you too!". Haha, I did not know what to say.
What does the future look like?
– I don't know, and it's so nice to have this job. I don't like to know what it will happen, but I like to be spontaneous. I remember when my mother travelled to Kurdistan and I drived her to the airport. There was one place left on the plane so there I decided on the spot that I would go with her. That's me!
