Question: |
I'm 18 and I know I'm one of your younger fans but I just wanted
to say that I still enjoy your movies and they were a part of why I made the decision to become involved in acting when I was in high school. My question to you is, with all of your success in acting and bodybuilding do you ever still wonder how different your life would have been if you had chosen a career based on your studies of Chemical Engineering. Also, would you ever consider trying your hand at somewhat combining the two and making a movie about a character loosely based on what you imagine your life would have been like? |
|
DL: |
Hi Julie, Of course that thought strikes me once in a while. What life would have been like if I had a career based on my studies? It sure would have been different. But my thought hasnt got that far as even considering doing a movie on that subject! But now you got me thinking& All the best, Dolph |

Question: |
Dear Dolph Lundgren, My name is Michella and I come from The Netherlands. My age is 15 and I am a big fan from you. I like your movies very much. The first movie what I have see from you was Rocky4, it is a great movie and your a their so wonderful :-) So my question is: How did you come to be an actor and how many languages do you speak big kiss and a big hug, MichellaName:Aimee |
|
DL: |
Hi Michella, I did´t plan to become an actor. Things just happened in that direction. I was with my then girlfriend Grace Jones who starred in the bond film A View To A Kill, and the director offered me a small, really small, part. And one thing led to an other, and now twenty years later Im still in the business. Well I speak Swedish and English of course, then German, French, Spanish, Some Italian and Japanese. There you have it! Best Regards, Dolph |

Question: |
Hi Dolph! I've been a fan of yours ever since Rocky IV even though I had a big crush on Carl Weathers, whose character you killed in the film. But you looked so good, I had to forgive you! Anyway, I have two quick questions. First of all, I can tell from all your schooling that you're well-educated. But is it true that you have a genius-level IQ? It seems too good to be true for one man to be so very intelligent, talented, athletic, AND fine as hell! All this leads to my second question. Are you available? If not, do you have a brother who is? If so, feel free to visit me in Nashville, TN USA for some real southern hospitality! Just kidding (well, no not necessarily (smile)). Anyway, good luck with "The Defender". I'm sure you're an excellent director as you seem to be great at everything you put your mind to! I hope you will stop by some of the US talk shows to promote it! Love ya, Aimee |
|
DL: |
Hi Aimee, No I have a genius level IQ. Whats that? No just kidding& Thank you for forgiving me killing Carl Weathers. Thats very grand of you! Im happily married to my wife Anette and I have to great daughters so I guess you have to pin your hopes on my younger brother Johan. Maybe hed appreciate some southern hospitality.. Thanks for the good luck greeting on The Defender- project its been really hard work, but ultimately rewarding. Sure Ill be in the states promoting it and I might see you! A ll the best, Dolph |

Question: |
Dolph, I have followed your career closely and from the first time I saw: DARK ANGEL, I knew you were going to be something special. This being my favorite film, I also cant go past the dynamic Ivan Drago you played in Rocky 4 to the brilliant Hidden Agenda. You have inspired me to lift weights and achieve a lot of goals I never thought I could achieve. I just hope you never stop making films as you are the most underrated actor of your genre. I also have spoken to Cameron Quinn from your Kyokushin karate days and he can only speak highly of you. Dolph, you rock mate! |
|
DL: |
Well Mike, I can just say thank you for your inspiring email. If you se Cameron Quinn again say I said Hi, and say osu, hell know what I mean. Take care, Dolph |

Hello, I personally think your two best movies were Universal Soldier and Masters of the Universe. I work at Wal-Mart in O'fallon IL and was thrilled when Masters came in stock. They play it on the big screen in Electronics for the time being. That movie was part of my childhood Mr. Lundgren so keep up the good work. Oh yeah, what is your opinion on the new punisher movie? Ricky |

DL: |
Hi Ricky, Glad you like Universal Soldier and Masters of the Universe. They both where lots of fun making. I actually havent seen the new Punisher movie, but will do in the near future! Best regards, Dolph |

: Hej Dolph det var sannerligen inte igår. Som gammal
skolkamrat från Nyland, blir man lite nostalgisk ibland och går in på nätet och tittar om man hittar någon bekant och här var du. Såg att du har två döttrar vilket gladde mig. Själv har jag en 15årig dotter som heter Camilla och vi bor i Sollentuna. Försökte hitta dig för några år sedan (väldigt många år sen nu då) när vi skulle ha "klassfest", men lyckades inte, tyvärr. Nu vet jag var jag kan nå dig om detta skulle inträffa igen. Hoppas att allt är bra med dig och din familj och hör gärna av dig om du har tid och möjlighet. Hälsningar Anki OName:Taryn |

Hej Anki, Det var kul att höra från dig. Synd att jag missade klassfesten, det hade varit kul att återse att återse alla kompisar. Hoppas det blir av en annan gång. Jag var just i Sverige ett par dagar. Har inte varit hemma sen jul innan dess. Det blir alltför sällan. Kul att höra att du har en dotter! Själv har jag två, Ida, 8 år, och Greta 3år. Kram, Dolph |

With a reported IQ of 160, the chance to attend MIT, and the ability to speak 5 languages, why acting? I have enjoyed several of your films, but do you ever feel you could have done more with your mental gifts than with your physical ones? Thank you for the chance to ask. |

Well, acting just happened. It wasnt something a planned. But
it happened and I sure enjoyed the business. My mental gifts

Dear Dolph! Recently I saw some video clips from your fighting competition in October 1992 and it was funny when you had to break eight stony blocks... with each hand four.I once learned how to do this on a solid plate of wood, but with stones... oh. ;-) How long did it take to be able to smash stony blocks?! I noticed that concentration was really necessary... |
|
DL: |
Hi Sebastian, Oh, I dont remember. But I sure remember that it took a long time, lots of practice and as you say: required a lot of concentration. So be focused and practice hard, and youll get there& Good luck, Dolph |

Hej Dolph! Tänkte bara skriva och tacka för att du var med i Rocky 4..träningssekvenserna i den filmen rullar ofta när jag har motivationsproblem med styrketräningen...så fort man hör temat gå igång och sly börjar lubba och du (eller Drago snarare) tränar så får man en sån djädra kick...perfekt att starta ett styrkepass med....ser fram mot fitness boken...alltid intressant att läsa om andras träningserfarenheter. Lycka till med framtida filmer :) Hälsningar /Sven |

Question: |
Hejsan Hasse! :) Well, im from Sweden and I really like you movies. And I do not just admire you for your martial arts-skills and great movies I also think you have turned out to be one of the best actors among the action stars over the years. And I just wonder what you have done to improve your acting. Have you taken a lot of acting-class? Have you worked with theater? Who is, in your opinion, the best actor you've worked with (In my opinion it would be Louis Gosset JR)? And finally, what is your favorite movie among the ones you've made... Mine is Men of War(Spring era jävlar!) |
|

Hej Daniel, I agree. Louis Gosset Jr was great to work with. But Ive been fortunate enough to work with a lot of talented actors. Sure Ive done some work shops in New York, and I constantly read with other actors to improve my acting. Glad you noticed it! Hälsningar, Dolph |
