Early life

Born in Copenhagen, Kold played around 150 football matches as a goalkeeper in the lower leagues until he suffered from an injury at the age of 27. He was sent to the gym for rehabilitation training, where he took up an interest in bodybuilding.[1]

Career

Bodybuilding

Kold started competing in 1997.[2] He won the Danish National Bodybuilding Championship in 2006.

Acting

Kold was persuaded by his friend, film director Mads Matthiesen, to play the title role in Matthiesen's short film Dennis (2007). The film was not promoted, but soon became popular and made Kold a name as an actor. He reprised the role of Dennis when Matthiesen made Teddy Bear (2012), a feature-length adaptation of Dennis.[3] He appeared in Fast & Furious 6 (2013), as well as Polish short film Smok (2015), based on the legend of Wawel Dragon. In 2016 he appeared the film Star Trek Beyond as well as the film 6 Underground in 2019.

Other ventures

Kold worked as a locksmith in Denmark for several years during his bodybuilding career. He owns his own security business in Puerto Banús.

gollark: Also not a crossbow. Although I did fire a non-cross bow at some point.

gollark: No. Like I said, it never came up, this being the united kingdom™, which does not like guns™.

gollark: Also running `optipng` over some image files I had, which can mildly reduce their size.

gollark: Neither, unless you count "running imagemagick" as A.

gollark: Video compression is very cool, though. It's basically how we have DVDs and streaming services and YouTube.
