Genfærd 452 Posted December 8, 2020 Haha, I guess we had very low standards in the 50s and 60s. I think that the nickname is more based on his filmography rather than his looks even though he back then could have been slightly compareable. Also, it was in the article. I had no idea people compared him but thought I'd add it to my post to get some tension. Worked like a charm. 1 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Got him in the top 3 of my list. According to Jorgen, Niels had cerebral lymphoma and still isn't out of the wordwork albeit being cancer-free. Still in rehab. Jorgen also suffered from corona back in December. https://nyheder24.dk/nyheder/haardt-ramt-nu-taler-joergen-olsen-ud Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

To me the difference is like paying £250 for a designer coat or opting for the £20 ripoff from a backstreet Chinese market, which you may have to deflea when you get home. The Danes can pipe down Only just seen this. Anyone claiming to be the answer to James Dean is surely terminally fucking their cause by living to be 85. 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not sure - QOs are becoming a lottery. Alvin Seeco Patterson, who guided Bob Marley back into music, was the percussionist on some of the Wailers' biggest UK hits and was there as Marley drew his last breath still hasn't a QO at all. But Hilmar Koppar has, as does some dame who was a US college advocate for human rights. I think Hogh's relative youth and cancer are a sub-editor's cream dream.
