the Result has been the series ’Back to 9. A’, which is set to premiere on TV2 11. august.

- along the Way, we have both laughed and cried, but we have not painted anything. Life offers both tears and laughter. Is how it is. But don't be afraid of it. Try to take your own life. It is here and now, and it is to be lived, he says,

– I was not one of the cool, but my years in elementary school were good, comfortable and fun. I remember it as if I had easily at all. But then I came to high school and felt that I had a hard time of it all ...
