Sigmund Trondheim was known throughout the land, when he participated in the last season of ‘X Factor’ with the whole of Denmark rockmama, Sanne Salomonsen, as a mentor.
Here he was especially known for his sharp dance moves, his flamboyant personality and his honesty about it to be gay.
But in a new documentary series on DR3, that has been given the name ‘Comes He in hell?’, the danes can get even closer to the 23-year-old Sigmund. Here he talks honestly about that to come from a christian family in a small town in Jutland, denmark and his sexuality, which, according to Sigmund Trondheim has created many problems for him through life.
– We were never about that I was homosexual at home. To this day, I am still afraid, if I end up in hell. I have tried to take it up with my parents. Why we spoke not about it earlier? Why did we not svesken on the disk, reads the initial from Sigmund Trondheim and in the documentary series.

Here he says also, that he, ever since he was little, knew that he was andereldes.
– There have been some things in my childhood, which I have been grappling with. I have never played football, I have never played computer games. I have always danced and been totally feminine. But it was never something we talked about or then did us to. I was just Sigmund. Enough is it hard and complicated to be gay in the sweet, small Jutland, but if you also grew up in a christian family, so you can go and feel really, really different and feel that you are living a sinful life. A life of shame, tells Sigmund Trondheim.

For Extra Magazine tells the ‘X-Factor’-the participant that it has been a great pleasure for him to be in the documentary.
– I was very much sold when I found out that DR3 had an idea that the documentary had to be about my love life, which has not always been easy for me. It has been very difficult for me to grow up and be gay, because I have some religious parents, but not themselves believers, he says, and continues:
