Interview with Hanne Jacobsen
An enormous thank you to the anonymous person who translated THIS amazing interview with Hanne for all of us!
Interviewer: A lot has happened since they met each other for the first time on the dance floor 25 years ago. Actor Mads Mikkelsen has become a star; he recently won the Golden Palm in Cannes. He has changed his hair and costume a lot of times for all the different roles he has played, but he wife Hanne with whom he has 2 children with has fortunately never been changed (replaced). Welcome Hanne Jacobsen.
I: You were with Mads in Cannes when Vinterberg (the director) showed the movie “Jagten” (the hunt) but you weren’t there when it was announced a couple of days ago that he won the Golden Palm. Where were you then?
H: I was at home, in the kitchen, looking at the screen with everyone else and was dying with anxiety. I didn’t think he’d get it so that’s why I didn’t come. I thought: Oh, there’s the travel and then there’s the kids and Viola has her exams right now, so I decided: No, I’ll stay home. But when I hear Mads’ name getting called out and I see how scared he is all I’m thinking is: Nooo, this is not good, I should have been there, I should have been there.
I: Well, it was amazing that he won. If we turn back time 25 years… I said earlier that you met each other on the dance floor, but how did you really meet; how did it all happen?
H: Well, in 1987 we were both dancers. I had been dancing for many years at that point. I meet Mads at an audition for (name of theatre play) at Aarhus Theatre. And we both – we’re both in a relationship so things were complicated – but we both fall deeply in love with each other and I just looked at him and thought: That right there; that’s the man in my life.
