Exklusiv intervju: Brüno

How do you feel about Swedish fashion?

– Ze last time zere vere well dressed people in Scandinavia was 65 years ago – but unfortunately mein grandfather und his batallion were chased back to Austria und Germany. Zere’s obviously still a Viking streak in you – you go around ze vorld und plunder all ze vorst styles any country has to offer. 

Several Swedish jeans labels – Acne, Nudie, Cheap Monday – have been very successful recently. Why is that, do you think?

– Ich cannot explain it. Ich have not vorn zese labels, vhich is ze usual reason for something catching on. You know vhen people hook zeir sunglasses into ze top of zeir shirt? Ich started zat. If you don’t believe me, check my Facebook page, zere’s a picture of me doing it 2005! Incidentally, jeans labels doing vell ist nothing to be proud of – Brüno vould rather have cancer on his skin zan denim.

Do you have any Swedish friends?

– Ich mainly know Swedish guys from films – I don’t know zeir names, zey’ve pretty much alvays got zeir mouths full. If ze fussballer Freddie Ljungberg is reading zis, ich vould want him to send me an action figure of himself. But only if it’s good quality – ze head kept coming off my David Beckham one und ich eventually lost it up zere for nearly 3 weeks.

What do you think about Prince Carl Philip?

– He is very hot, but ich prefer ze English Princes Harry. The Austrians und Prince Harry are ze only two groups left in Europe who vear ze swastika. Ich also have a lot in common mit his mother, Diana; ve’re both caring, sensitive und bulimic. Und ve’ve both slept mit a lot of rugby players.

Did you sleep with many people to get your job?

– Ich do not sleep around, ich am faithful to my boyfriend. Apart, obviously, from plowjobs.
