Extra! Extra! Read All About It!

Freya started her acting career today. It sounds grandiose, but she was a mere extra. That said, it was for a well-known Swedish channel, SVT, and it does star a reasonably famous Swedish actor, Gustav Hammersten. It took me a while to realise who he was: he’s much thinner than I thought he was.

Freya had the pleasure of appearing – pre-edit – in a few scenes. Today’s filming was shot in a nursery school, so Freya got to play with Lego, pretend to sleep and play some kind of naming game. And she gets a wallet-bulging 200 crowns for it, which she quite enjoys. I haven’t told her that I got 400 crowns just for being there, but I don’t suppose she’ll mind.

The main thing was that she liked doing it and wishes to ‘perform’ again.
