Helena Lindblad: Ghita Nørby goes berserk in a refreshing way

Danish (social) media can't release the epic awkward interview, ”Hele Danmarks Ghita”, with Ghita Nørby, which aired on Radio24syv in march. Iben Maria Zeuthen became reviled after only a few minutes at the home of Denmark's biggest star. The reporter was called both ”superficial”, ”crazy”, ”self-absorbed” and ”sentimental”. The 84-year-old actress also reacted on that, she thought Zeuthen was pushy with his big microphone.

a pyramidal lyssnarsuccé. It generated a storm on twitter, and was quickly radiosatir but #ghitagate has also led to quite distasteful debate about Ghita Nørby become demented. In retrospect, Nørby defended himself with the fact that she was insecure and that it ”felt like rape”.

As a cultural journalist will, of course, a little cold sweat of the radio interview. But beyond the invektiven is something very interesting. A refreshing response from an actor who refuses to play the cute old woman, who did not experience a genuine interest for their art and who holds out against her personal life turned into a underhållningsdetalj. Go Ghita!
