Three years prior, the president of the whole Friendship Association all around the world had started asking him if he knew anybody who could be interested in investing in North Korea.

and that was why he thought about me because when that had happened first he tried to look at actors but it's a little difficult that if the North Korean looked him up that one day he's an investor the next day he's an IMBD yeah and then he tried to find businessmen but you couldn't find any businessmen in the right mind who want to do that task and that was why he thought I could be up for the task

Yeah.

Yeah, I mean, I just think that I just used the things I've been through life that I think that got me through it.

And I must say I had fun with it.

It was exciting.

You have to think about it started out slow because in the beginning it was, I would not say 100% safe, but it was safer.

Yeah.

We were starting up in Oslo.

Norway is basically our neighbor country in Denmark.

So you're back only in your own backyard.

In the beginning, we didn't know what he was looking for money to.

It could have been everything.

It was first that when he rolls out and say, oh, we can help you make weapons.

And by the way, we can sort out making methamphetamine.

It was just like...

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

And then you kind of also get obsessed with it because in the end, it's just like, I mean, if this plays out, you're actually doing something nobody else have done before.

And that's actually like the drive for me, making me do, taking some higher risk later in the film.

We were there for five days and we knew we should only be there for five days.
