River Phoenix at the auditions for "A River Runs Through It" (1992) dir. Robert Redford

— Shadow Casting: The Making Of "A River Runs Through It"

(River auditioned for the role of Paul Maclean but he was not selected and the role went to Brad Pitt)

[...] Every day of my life since I've finished My Own Private Idaho, at some point in the day, I find the conversation somehow goes back to that film because it was such a great experience. I just start getting all joyous about it and start blabbing about it, so... but if you can believe it, there's a project out there that I feel just as strongly about, even though there's a good chance I might not be involved." He's talking about the Robert Redford project A River Runs Through It. "It's a great script. Just the best script that I've read that's come out of Hollywood in a long time. I auditioned - me and about a thousand other guys. It was a nice audition and I haven't auditioned in a while. I thought I'd be nervous...you guys don't smoke do you?"

The Redford project has River in a lather. His eyes sweep the room for smoke, someone to bum a cigarette from. Eventually, he relents and buys a pack, smoking one with guilty little puffs aimed up at the place where the name of his favorite TV journalist has yet to materialize."I had a really good talk, good meeting with Redford but I think he's gonna find the guy. The guy who just is that image-that Montana mountain boy, fly fisherman image. That's what I think he should do. I believe so strongly in it, I just want the best guy for it. If I get it, great. If I don't, I wasn't right for it."

— Movieline Magazine (1991)

🔥 Campfire talks, canceled plans & Viking battles 🔥

This convo drifts between:

⏳ learning to say no & making space for yourself

📱 phone addiction, late-night emails & notifications that kill sleep

🌲 campfire therapy, canoe trips with dad & the art of unplugging

🎭 career pressure, growing up too fast & living in hotel rooms

⚔️ behind the scenes of Vikings (51 episodes, 400 extras & 20kg costumes!)

🎶 parallels with musical theater: from opening night panic to effortless routine

A dialogue that slides between raw honesty and epic backstage stories. Stay tuned — it’s funnier (and more real) than you’d think.

Guess Who's Back? Danish Podcast Translations Are Returning!

Hey everyone! 👋

I'm so excited to announce that I'm going to start translating Alex Høgh Andersen's Danish podcast appearances again! I know it's been a while, but I've missed sharing these with you all.

To kick things off, I'd love for you to help me choose which one to translate next. I'm putting it to a vote between his three most recent guest appearances.

Which podcast should I translate first?

Det, vi elsker - Alex Høgh and Magnus Haugaard on Kald mid far (Call me dad), how they got the idea, how they met and all about their long-standing friendship, which has gradually almost developed into... a marriage.

1000 Regrets - Alex and his biggest regret: eating a sandwich from a street vendor at the Distortion festival and, well, poop happened.

Bålsnak - From Ivar the boneless to life, challenges, screen addiction and how to deal with followers.

Let me know your pick in the comments or reblog with your vote!

Coming back from a long break, I see the girlfriend isn't appreciated at all. I'm glad I'm skipping all the lovey-dovey tbh. Do we expect any big announcement soon? What do you guys think?

P.s. how's the show? Is anybody watching? If so, where?

Helloo and welcome back! 😃 Haha yes... unfortunately, there hasn't been anything too interesting going on, so I don't think you missed much. As for big announcements, Alex hinted at a proposal some time ago, but so far... nothing happened. We had guessed maybe on her birthday, so let's see what happens (if anything).

About the show, I admit that I started watching it, but never got to finish it. 🙈🤭 It has finally been released on Viaplay, so if it's available in your country, that's an option. If not, it's also on SBS, which is an Australian platform, but you can still watch it for free with a VPN (I used this option).

Hi, could you show me what Alex thinks about fans/fandom? I'm kind of new here, and I haven't seen any of his opinions on the subject! Thank you

Hello & welcome, anon! 😊 Thank you for your question!

Although most of these interviews are not recent and I did not have any of them saved, I did my best to retrieve some statements.

So, to start there's this interview from BT.dk (posted January 8th 2023), where the following can be read:

There's also this headline, posted on Femina.dk (April 4th 2023), which reads:

Then, in another interview from Connery.dk (posted April 28th 2022), we can read Alex's opinion on his approach to social media, as well as the differences between his international & Danish fanbase:

Last but not least, there's also this excerpt from Heartbeats.dk (January 29th 2021), in which Alex expresses his frustration with social media, but also recognizes the benefits granted by a big following:

Note that the links refer to the English versions of the interviews (translated by Google), for accessibility purposes. Plus, the presented screenshots are examples of statements said by Alex during said interviews, but as we know, headlines tend to be sensationalist, so I can only recommend to read the whole interviews, to better understand them in context. 😊 I'd like to finish by also recommending @happypeachwhispers, who has translated a variety of interviews/podcasts, which provide some more insight into Alex's point of view (this post of them also summarizes it pretty well). And as always, if anyone would like to share some more interviews in which Alex speaks about this subject, you're more than welcome to do so!

I hope this was helpful. 😊💖

First of all, it's been a while since I've came across a page where fans can vent about our favorite viking so thank you for that.

I read some of the asks you received and I noticed most of them are about a certain lack of personal touch in what he shares with his audience and I think I can add my two cents about that, since I translated many hours of his interviews and I have an insight of his way of thinking. You know, I think he feels in a safer environment when it comes to Danish press so he shared more. Of course it's my opinion but I can definitely say he just doesn't care about an international career, never hoped to make it big overseas and never wanted for it. He spoke an awful lot about his anxiety and i think that plays a big role when it comes to personal and professional choices. I went over hundreds of pages about how he's very much aware and reads complaints about how he's distant and strictly professional. He specifically said "for some reason people care about me but I don't really give them anything to care for". And he's ok with that. He also spoke a lot about his ( toxic dare I say? ) relationship with fame and how at what was supposed to be the height of his career he felt very very close to jumping off his penthouse balcony. It's heartbreaking, and the complexity of what's going on in his mind will never meet fans' expectations I'm afraid.

Thank you so much! And thank you for your translations, they've been an amazing contribution to the fandom! 😊

I remember reading the interview you mentioned at the end of your ask. It truly was heartbreaking. And as much as we all love Alex as an actor and wish the best for his career, we have to respect his choices. Like that saying, "if something costs your mental health, then the price is too high".

Thank you for sharing your thoughts on this! 💖

Spring Rolls with Shrimp and Vegetables

Spring rolls with shrimp and vegetables! So fresh and easy. Make for a snack, appetizer, or light meal. Unlike Chinese-style deep fried spring rolls, these Vietnamese spring rolls are very light and fresh.
