Direct to Dolph

The American Dream. An immigrant’s greatest hope – leave their home country to relocate to the United States of America, seeking financial success and the comforts that America offers. In today’s news cycle, we mainly see politicized features on immigrants from war-tattered and poor South American countries, but there are others searching for that white picket fence. Dolph Lundgren shared this dream as a child -- his Father told him at a young age that if he wanted to make something special with his life, he had to go to America. Now an internationally famous icon, it’s safe to say that Dolph has successfully attained his American dream -- he currently lives a wonderful life in Los Angeles as to he continues to thrive as an in demand artist.

Well known for his tall stature and high level of fitness, Dolph belongs to a generation of film actors who epitomise the movie action hero stereotype including Sylvester Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Wesley Snipes, and Jean-Claude Van Damme, many of whom he has worked with in his career.

For thousands of years, many have tried to calculate a formula for success. Yes, hard work seems to be the common denominator, but it’s also very evident that those who achieve great accomplishments in their life have some sort of hidden “it” factor. Dolph’s story is no different. We examine how a once insecure kid from Sweden was able to put it all on the line for a chance to transform himself into one of the most badass action stars of all time.
