I wish he hadn't left Altered Carbon! He is such a good actor!

[@gaigzean]

NazSafavi Nobody wanted that, and he didn’t “leave”, that’s how the story is in the books, Kovacs changes his sleeve, it’s sad but yeah Joel was better

[@Naz-fb4dd]

@@gaigzean yeah I know how changing sleeves work but I just wanted to see more of him lol

[@lullaby508]

@@Naz-fb4dd watch his film The Informer to see more of him

[@annaheart5656]

Me too.. Stopped watching the show

[@potatolife_]

@@annaheart5656 Give season 2 a chance! I was bummed about not having Joel as Kovacs, but I think Anthony Mackie did a pretty great job continuing the character.

Altered carbon is sooo underrated!

[@jessicacolterman6835]

Soooo good!

[@Omi791]

Sooo good , the best..😁

Altered Carbon was great X only watched it for Joel Kinnaman gonna pass on season 2 X

[@Cheetara101]

I love the series

[@carlosvazquez2984]

He's not gonna be in season two, i believe.

[@IWillHarvestYourToes]

So he wants to do more shirtless scenes? People, we must help this man realize his dream!!!

[@DarkR0ze]

Jay the next Magic Mike?

[@medhakarn8366]

Yes, very important. We should help him achieve it.

[@Thepomafame]

I highly encourage him to do it

[@dylpicklethebugslayer]

I agree with u

[@Powerful_7910]

Ellen could've asked him to take it off

[@karmaoutlaw]

Its now 2024 and only now am I catching up with the amazing work of Joel Kinnaman. What he was able to do in The Killing blew me away…

[@FaReS44ps3]

To have this type of condition and talk about it so freely this means he went through a lot of rebuilding his self confidence, good for him for sharing hopefully it will motivate and impact those whose in need ..

[@jdcv17]

Who would've thought that he had pectus excavatum. He really looks good and like Ellen mentioned Joel really takes care of himself. By sharing what he went thru he's brought some awareness for the said condition. His surgeons did a really nice job.

i also want joel kinnaman to do more shirtless scenes. we have so much in common. 😍

[@MrHiggz-lo2gi]

Everybody is talking about his role in Altered Carbon which was awsome, but you should've seen him in The Killing, it was something else! If there's Oscar for TV shows then he should've got one. Fantastic!

[@jaimebreen1165]

They do have Oscar's for TV...they are called Emmys. Unfortunately he wasn't nominated ever...even though he should've been. But the actress that played Linden was nominated twice.

His English is great but as a Scandinavian I can definitely hear some of his Swedish peeping through on some words. I'm confused though, Joel isn't exactly a Swedish name...

[@miiah1930]

His father is american

[@inxatube1568]

Yes Joel is very common in Sweden and Finland, you pronounce it yoel I guess in English.

huh? joel ia just as common as anja or more so i would say..in sweden

[@cosmogang]

I have pectus excavatum rated as an 8. I have considered doing the surgery if medical concerns arise, but at the moment the doctors say my chest morphology is adequate to keep my heart safe. 99% of the time, I am completely oblivious to the abnormality of my chest compared to others. I'm only ever reminded when someone sees my chest for the first time and they can't help but comment (I don't mind it at this point). It's part of me, and I would only ever change it if I had to. I do understand that some people are very conscious of their pectus, and I 100% respect their choice to elect surgery. I'd never be as gorgeous as this guy, even with a million dollars of additional surgery, so I think I'm good for now 😂

[@eskayh7734]

I dunno what Ellen's talking about, his accent isn't thick but it's definitely still there. Same with Sebastian Stan.

[@sobecb7131]

Eskay H I hear zero Swedish accent

[@eskayh7734]

@@sobecb7131 watch an interview where he's speaking Swedish the whole time, and then compare.

[@dragoninthewest1]

@@sobecb7131 that's probably because the Midwest accent is derived from the accent of Scandinavian immigrants.

[@milvache]

Joel Kinnaman looks good when he is shirtless

[@dragoninthewest1]

He does have an accent but it sounds more Midwest and less Stockholm. That's probably because Scandinavian mainly Norwegians and swedes settled the Midwest

[@markrodriguez9442]

My chest is the same way as your,Joel. Tried chest exercises, didn't help. Didn't know about the surgery.
