His Nordic score should've gone up when he said "don't be so Nordic". That's such a Nordic thing to say.

To be honest, one of the reasons I loved Swedish people that much when I visited Stockholm is that people would randomly start talking to me. They would ask how I was doing, where I was from, how I liked Stockholm etc., it was just, like, keeping each other company while we were waiting for the metro, the boat etc. It was the nicest thing ever!

I am an American living in Sweden and as soon as he said he would talk to people at the bus stop, my immediate thought was how unswedish of him! The last person that talked to me at the bus stop, I screamed because it was so unexpected :). But I agree with him, socialize more!

Joel is one of my celeb crushes ever since he was so good in The Killing (plot issues but great performances, eh?) One of my fav anecdotes from my sad, not-famous life is the time I tried to chat up my seatmate on a flight to sweden. The guy literally acted as if I had not spoken. Ran into him at a bar a wk later, where he apologized, explained that for swedes, chatting up a stranger is crazy person stuff, and then proceeded to hit on me aggressively the rest of the evening. Alas we could not go home together since we were both staying with friends who wouldn't allow it. Sad!

Altered Carbon was so damn good, and visually delicious. I want more.

Smelting is an english word, but it means something different from melting. Smelting is heating up an object above its melting point in order to liquify it (like you're smelting iron in a furnace), whereas melting means the process during which an object turns from solid to liquid due to reaching its melting point (like snow melting in the sun). It's easy to mix up since Swedish uses the same word for both things

Aww man... I so agree with you Joel about talking to other people and vise versa. All of my life I've been keeping things inside, not sociable what so ever. About 4 years ago, started giving it my all to start up conversations with strangers and OH MY.... Does that ever freak people out! Sadly, from my experiences only about 1 out of 100 or so people will smile and or converse with me. By the way, I looove your acting! You did a wonderful job in Altered Carbon. You look so different from in The Killing that I had to go search to see if it was really you lol. Hope to see a lot more of you in the near futur! Take care.

his voice ughhh 😍

I adore sitting next to people on the bus or train when there is plenty of room. I can feel the discomfort and it makes me happy.

I’m watching The Killing right now. I love watching you in that show.

fair percentage, he is half American so it levels out.

I love how his American qualities do the most damage to his Nordic score 🙃

as a fellow nordic person there a couble of tiny issues, biggest one is the puplic transport thing, in denmark or most of the north it is expected that when you are above the teenage age you stop talking loud, you kinda lets everyone have their private space, and then if a convo do start its mostly about smalltalk and not an actual talk (more about passing silent time than about talking at this point) we have alot of this in the nordic country. beside that when it comes to the looking in the eye's of the ones you talk to is consideret a sign of respect and understanding and a commen frase in denmark is look me in the eye's when iam talking to you (a parent telling a kid to behave)

This man is fricken beautiful.

This actor as cool as hell,

He was really great in The Killing.

I moved to Finland this year. At first I found it pretty weird that people would prefer to stand than sit next to someone in trains and buses but now i think it's just a Nordic thing haha

Like his voice.

Love him!!!

The empty seat part got me.. When I first arrived Germany, I realized people wouldn't seat beside me, rather they would find an empty seat.. I initially thought it was racism because in Nigeria, ideally one finds the spot he or she likes and sits there. And that spot could be beside a stranger..

I used to try to chat with people at the bus stop in Norway, why not? If they were uncomfortable, that was their signal to loosen up.

Oh he is so damn beautiful

Scandinavian languages sound like someone rewinding an audio recording.

Swedes are rather friendly and chatty! In fairness though, when I meet any here (Ireland) they’re usually full of beer and not being chatty isn’t really an option! 😄

To answer the question "who does that"... me, I do that.

This dude is super nordic

That is completely awesome Difficulty talking with people sometimes so I’m surprise that you’re able to do it
