“I grew up with all kinds of splatter/horror things. I watched double features ... like a Hong Kong kung fu film and then a horror film. So I’ve seem them all, so I don’t get scared that easily, but I can get the tension of something that is interesting,” he said.
If the Cannes prize and the upcoming TV series aren’t enough, audiences will soon be able to see Mikkelsen in the lush, Oscar-nominated period drama “A Royal Affair,” opening Friday in select cities.
Set in 18th century Denmark, the film tells the real-life story of an insane king (Mikkel F?lsgaard) and the German doctor (Mikkelsen) who has an affair with his queen (Alicia Vikander) while pushing for social change.
