Vikings: Valhalla’s Frida Gustavsson on Quitting Modeling for Acting
Pursuing any career within the entertainment industry is a hugely risky and intimidating endeavor. But not only did Frida Gustavsson tackle that challenge head-on and manage to build a successful career as a model, but then she dared to leave it behind to go after her biggest dream, becoming an actor.
Gustavsson is currently celebrating the premiere of the Vikings sequel series, Vikings: Valhalla. The show is set about one hundred years after the events of the original series, during a time of sky-high tension between the Vikings and English royals. When Gustavsson’s Freydis Eriksdotter embarks on a harrowing journey from Greenland to Kattegat in an effort to track down a personal enemy, she and her brother Leif Eriksson (Sam Corlett) reluctantly become heavily involved in the Viking revenge mission against the English.
With Season 1 of Vikings: Valhalla now available to stream on Netflix, Gustavsson took the time to join us for an episode of Collider Ladies Night to offer some insight into how exactly she successfully made the pivot from modeling to acting.
