Quotes

“I walked in to a Westwood movie theater [at the Rocky IV premiere] as Grace Jones' boyfriend and walked out ninety minutes later as the movie star Dolph Lundgren. I was shell-shocked for years from the mind-boggling and daunting experience of being a student-athlete from tiny Sweden suddenly having to live up a new action-star persona. […] Karate and physical fitness have kept me reasonably sane in a very tough and sometimes insane business.”
“If you heal yourself you can heal others.”
“I’ve been vegan for a month, I’m trying it. […] A friend of mine, Arnold Schwarzenegger, produced this documentary called The Game Changers, about plant-based diet and athletes, so I checked it out and then I figured I would try it out. […] I like it. The most effect I’ve noticed is that your blood sugar is more constant, so you don’t get tired as easily and you feel lighter.”

Hans "Dolph" Lundgren (/ˈlʌndɡrən/, Swedish: [ˈdɔlːf ˈlɵ̌nːdɡreːn] ; born 3 November 1957) is a Swedish actor, filmmaker, and martial artist. He gained recognition for portraying the Soviet boxer Ivan Drago in his breakthrough role in Rocky IV (1985), a role he reprised in Creed II (2018).

Lundgren went on to play lead roles in over 80 action-oriented films including Masters of the Universe (1987), Red Scorpion (1988), The Punisher (1989), I Come in Peace (1990), Showdown in Little Tokyo (1991), Joshua Tree (1993), Men of War (1994), Silent Trigger (1996), and Blackjack (1998). He continued playing villainous roles, most notably as Sergeant Andrew Scott in three Universal Soldier films (1992–2012), co-starring Jean-Claude Van Damme. Moving into the 2000s, Lundgren mostly appeared in direct-to-video films. During this time, Lundgren started directing and starring in his own films; these are The Defender (2004), The Mechanik (2005), Missionary Man (2007), and Command Performance (2009).
