Spreading rumors that the shooter is dead – NRK Kultur og underholdning

“I can confirm that the rumors of my death were significantly exaggerated,” Mordal told NRK on Saturday night.

The video with various images of the shooter had been shared more than 2000 times on the site as of Friday.

Mordal said he had received many messages from concerned family and friends.

He reassured her that he wasn’t dead – and neither was he suffering from a serious illness as claimed in the online video.

– Feeling really good

“I’m very kind, so I should probably wish everyone a Merry Christmas I know and anyone who has spread such a reputation,” said Mordal.

He has been a permanent member of the National Theater since 1997. Previously he was a member of the National Stage in Bergen.

In 2010, he received the Hedda Award for his role as Doctor Stockman in Ibsen’s play Ein folkefiende.

But he became best known to most people when he played the role of Marvin in the children’s TV series “Linus i Svingen” in 2004 and at least in the very popular Christmas calendar series “Jul i Svingen” in 2006.

– Recognize

When NRK interviewed him in 2013, he loved playing the role of Linus’ father in the series.

– Both children and adults find Marvin a fun character, and many dads recognize themselves in him. He’s a very pediatrician, so other dads also think they’re a bit of a pediatrician, says Mordal.

A few years later, he really enjoyed watching “Jul i Svingen” as a regular viewer.

– There are so many good stories, very well written. I got carried away, Mordal said in 2013.

NRK has not stopped contacting the TikTok users who created and spread the fake videos.

The user claims that he knows the shooter’s family and that is something he refers to in the comments section of the video.

Ida Margreta Halvorsen, head of communications at the National Theatre, was not aware of the rumours.

“Fortunately, our fantastic shooter lives on in the best of times,” said Halvorsen.
