We probably all have our favourite actor. Probably several ones. Some of them are appreciated for their expressive range, like Jim Carrey, others for their chameleon-like ability to change into a role, like Daniel Dey - Lewis, and others for their almost stone-faced expression - I think the Danish actor Mads Mikkelsen can be placed in this category.
Mads has not acted in films since his early youth. On the contrary, he has a completely different profession - gymnast and dancer. He not only qualified as a dancer at the Gothenburg Ballet School, but worked as one for almost 10 years! If that wasn't impressive enough - he learned during this time to speak Swedish language fluently. Then he gave up ballet for theatre in Aarhus Theatre, where he could enter in acting career.
I think, that his rich curriculum vitae and interesting education not only gives his acting grace and charm, but also makes him much more authentic.
He successfully plays the roles of street thugs, social outcasts as in the film 'Pusher', he perfectly plays comedic roles, especially the grotesque ones like 'Adam's Apples', dramatic roles - he was amazing in 'The Hunt', or sophisticated, calculated characters as in the series 'Hannibal'.
Today I have a 'double' portrait of Mads for you.
A portrait in the mirror.
My warmest greetings to you,

I love mirror art works. I see them as a two in one kind of art work. It takes extra care for an artist to get the two pieces to look alike or different in some cases and I must say, you did justice to this piece.
I am very glad you can see the effort! Thank you very much!
It's always a pleasure dear ✨

Nice portrait and the info about the actor.
His life is inspiring in that struggle leads to success in life.
I got it through @dreemport .
I feel his life it is a good example self-made success not by chance, but by hard work, and I think he deserve admiration at least for that:)
Yeah, hard work must be admired.
I like the way you describe all his struggles and success.
This is the lesson for us that success is not on next step for everyone but people try to get it☺️☺️.
Hard work pays off! I hope that this is not just an old, worn-out phrase, but that people will start to notice again that hard work really is ennobling. Especially work on oneself!
I learned some information about Mads in your post! Thank you for sharing his dancing. I did watch Hannibal and that's where I learned to like his acting. Nice renders.
I think the dancer is in him still - I recommend film 'Another Round' with him.
He is dancing there a bit, but worth to watch, really!
Okay, this looks great bro....🔥✨
@omokhafue @artist-freepae, come see quick
Thanks!
It's so prettttttty
Thank you very much!
