Dolph Lundgren, Ivan Drago in Rocky IV - Good Morning America in Sweden 18 May 1988

Good Morning America in Sweden
För bara drygt två år sedan spelade Dolph Lundgren den sovjetiske boxaren Ivan Drago i världssuccen Rocky IV, den mest framgångsrika filmen i Rockyserien.
Förutom skådespelarkarriären är Dolph såväl svensk mästare som Europamästare i karate, civilingenjör på KTH Stockholm och påbörjat doktorandstudier vid MIT i USA.
En påtagligt förtjust Joan Lunden intervjuar Dolph.
I svensk media framställdes Dolph under 80- och 90-talet som en dum, ointelligent norrlänning och som efter något år i USA glömt bort svenskan och som något man inte tar i ens med tång. Ungefär på samma sätt som media behandlade ABBA med andra ord.
Anledningen till den suddiga bilden är att sändningen på den här tiden var helt analog och har gått två gånger via satellit fram och tillbaka över atlanten, omvandlats från amerikansk TV-system till svenskt, spelats in på SVT, redigerats och kopierats samt återutsänts via marksändarna i Sverige och inspelad på VHS-kassett.
På sätt och vis är det förunderligt att bilderna är hyfsat sebara.

What a gorgeous Swedish hunk!!!

[@benfisher1376]

Just a perfect looking man. Probably the best ever on screen.

[@leahjohnson9854]

Dolph was down-to-earth, intelligent, humble, genuinely friendly, polite, and had a sense of humor. How could you not like him? And on top of that, he was (and still is) stunningly handsome.

[@markfarkas3703]

Never seen this before. One of the best interview from him. Always down to the Earth.

[@stephenotoole408]

Sounds american

[@fothermucker7764]

So drago really talk

[@anthonylove821]

I figured he would have been more serious. He seems so down to earth and easy going. It’s ironic though that they showed him doing roids in Rocky 4 and the gym I used to work out back in the 80s knew the dealer that dealt roids to both Stallone and dolph for the Rocky 4 film.

[@benbrutta8967]

Dolph tends to go back and forth on that particular topic. In one interview he was honest and said he stopped doing roids in the 80's because they made him screwy mentally but in other interviews I've seen him deny it completely. Of course he does roids, like everyone else. He's still in shape and is almost 65 or something like that. That doesn't happen naturally.

[@MlmlBruh]

He speaks in the same way PewDiePie does in interviews

[@kay8698]

So he is not really Russian

[@stephenotoole408]

Neither is Bridget Nielsen lol😅😅

[@EyeForKnowledge.]

Met him once. I was a hotel manager and he was staying at the hotel I worked at. He’s much shorter than I thought. He’s maybe 6’. Nice enough though.

[@anthonylove821]

I thought he was 6’4. I read in a magazine that in Rocky 4 that they had to give Stallone something to stand on in the ring when they were eye to eye just because Stallone was so short.

[@EyeForKnowledge.]

@@anthonylove821 Well I’m 5’11” and he wasn’t much taller than me. Certainly 6’4

[@anthonylove821]

@@EyeForKnowledge. youre so lucky you got to meet him...ever since ive seen him rocky 4 hes been one of my favorites ..did you get him to sign anything for u or get a pic with him?
