9. January will be known as an important day in the vikingekalenderen. It was the day when the australian actor Travis Fimmel alias vikingekongen Regnar Lodbrog in the HBO series ‘Vikings’ laid down his first and to date only picture out on instagram. Travis Fimmel has previously said that he could never dream of coming on the social media, which he calls ‘shit’. He told the media Today back in 2014.

‘I am not doing all that computer stuff. I’m not on Instagram and Facebook. I don’t care about all the ‘shit’. I am a quiet and calm person. There are just some people who want to be seen all the time. My life is not interesting enough to get on the internet’, explained Travis Simmel at the time.

But now he has changed his tune apparently got a different sound. Vikingekongen jumped like on Instagram two days ago. And what a debut. He took only a single picture of themselves, which him with black marker in the pan has written: ‘Hello insta. It is me.’

the Picture has in only a few days scored 195.000 likes. And in two days has Travis Fimmel been around 710.000 followers. A staggering success.

Several of Travis Fimmels skuespilkolleger from the tv series ‘Vikings’ are surprised by Travis Fimmels sudden arrival on the social media, where they have met to welcome him, both with amusement and ironic comments.

The Danish actor Alex Høgh Andersen, who plays vikingekongen Regnar Lodbrogs son in the extremely popular tv series, laid the f.ex. a lookup in a story on Instagram, where he wrote the following:

‘Father has finally come on the insta. I never thought that it would happen. Follow him and spam his beautiful backside in the smithereens’

The australian actress Alyssa Sutherland, who plays the role of queen Laura, Regnar Lodbrogs wife in the tv series ‘Vikings’, also noted the big event with a fun feature on her Instagram profile, She wrote the following to his colleague and friend:

‘There are few things that have been certainly here in life. The force of gravity, that the sun rises in the east, and that I can never stop with just a few Dorritos chips – and that Travis Fimmel is not on the social media…

Wait a little. What the fuck. @travisfimmel.

I think that I will start to believe that the earth is flat.’

The canadian actor Alexander Ludwig, who in the tv series ‘Vikings’ plays the role of Regnar Lodbrogs first son, Bjorn Ironside, wrote personally in the comments to the Travis Fimmels new and only picture on Instagram the following:

‘Ow owwwwwww You sexy beast me so hornyyy'(Which can be translated as follows: Wow. Your sexy animal. I get so horny)

Travis Fimmel has not even been out in public and explain why he has now jumped on the instagram. Whether it is a bet or a joke, or whether in the future he intends to be active on instagram is therefore still an open question.

Travis Fimmels many fans are ecstatic with vikingekongens debut and have together written more than 15,000 comments to the image. And the vast majority of the comments praising Travis Fimmel to the skies.

Regnar Lodbrog died, incidentally, in the fourth season of the tv series ‘Vikings’. Just now is the fifth season of the television series current at HBO Nordic, where you can also see all the previous sections.
