“Kjell Wilhelmsen on the way back after breast cancer”
“He became very popular through the television series ”30 degrees in February”. He then got, as one of the very few men, and breast cancer.”
“– I call it cancerbaksmällan, when the treatment is over. Every time you get a little pain in a knee or a toe, you think immediately that it is cancer. I have worse condition now. Otherwise I feel well +++, if we are talking Aftonbladet-scale, ” he says.”
“Kjell Wilhelmsen think that there are two tabuämnen of the swedes.”
“– It is loneliness and death. People never talk about it, we turn a blind eye to it.”
“– It would have been easy to make him into a swine. But Beata Gårdeler (the director) and I talked a lot about that does not make him someone you despise, without any one suffering with. We improvised a lot. Saw that Glenn had a big heart.”
“– It was my Janne ”Loffe” Carlsson-role. Kjell ”Glenn” Wilhelmsen. Not me. I am proud of the role. And it gave me food on the table for quite a while (laughter).”
“moving to Thailand”
“Death, the second tabuämnet, he is not afraid to talk about. It has been in his proximity for a long time. A couple of years before the tv series, he lost and then his wife a child.”
“– Two weeks before he was born so he died in the stomach. You will never be closer to death than that. And people in the vicinity didn’t even want to touch the subject.”
“– We had a child before, Saga, it was that saved us, can you say, that you had something to hang on. She was going to school, have food, and so on.”
“the Whole family moved to Thailand when the filming of the tv series started. Kjells wife of 43 years, they dared not hope for more children. But after just a couple of weeks, noted a thai doctor that they were expecting a child again.”
“When they came home from Thailand, was born a daughter, Mira.”
“– the Whole trip was like a big revenge for the family, said Kjell then.”
“Had the wig in the ”Springfloden””
“three years ago suffered Kjell, which is one of the very few men, of breast cancer.”
“– that year, There were 27 men, almost all over the age of 70, I think. It is not at all common. The only thing I knew was ”Wille” Löfqvist.”
“(He died of breast cancer 2016, 69 years old. He was ice hockey goaltender in the iihf hall of fame and the national team Tre Kronor).”
” I went through 15 chemotherapy and 25 radiation. All the hair disappeared. When I recorded ”Springfloden”, I had the wig and false beards. Now have all the hair come back.”
“– It has you constantly if you have got cancer. You will be fully recovered after five years, I have two years left to it, but it’s something you have to live with all of life.”
” I got the jättedödsångest and krökade in two, three weeks. Then I said to myself, ”this is no fun, either’. Now I have not drank in three years. Cancerbaksmällan… you immediately think that everything, pain in a knee or a toe, is cancer.”
“Kjell and his wife went separate ways this time,” he says, no had with the disease to make. It had happened anyway.”
“Now he is an ambassador for the cancer society. Talks and informs.”
“– My mission is to get men to talk about it. To not go there with the pain in the scrotum instead of going to the doctor.”
“He thus gives in the score to himself, even if he gets tired faster and has gone up in the weight of the hormonmedicinen.”
” Now I operate on the neck, has got some vertebrae that are pressing on nerves and to free them. Five hours of surgery the next week. And then go with a collar for six weeks.”
“Kjell has just completed a few days of the recording of a tv-series after Jonas Hassen Khemiris novel ”Everything I don’t remember”. This is done together with Eric Ericson in the ”On track”, despite the fact that Kjell moved to it properly at the destination, Shanghai.”
” I thought of the movie ”Bangkok dangerous” with Nicolas Cage, but why I mentioned a movie in Hong kong that do not even exist, I don’t know where I got it from.”
