47-year-old Per Gessle is one of Sweden’s most successful pop musicians.

How would he describe his personality?
My personality? Oh my gosh... oh, it’s hard to do... It’s always hard to describe yourself, isn’t it? But I’m kind of ambitious, I guess. I’m a family man, I don’t go out that much nowadays. I stay at home a lot. And I like my work.

Who is his personal hero?
My big hero in life is my wife because she stands out. She copes with me, that takes some person.

What’s his biggest temptation?
I started thinking about things that I haven’t really done before. I’ve always been a lousy sportsman, but it’s nothing really to do with a big temptation. It’s something I would love to be able to do much more, but I’m worthless.

What’s his life philosophy?
I don’t really have a philosophy, but I think it’s good to realize that you live now and to enjoy that. So many people I know live for tomorrow and I think it’s good to live for today.

What’s his dream?
One of my dreams, which I hope comes true, is that my family gets a good life and my son – I have a 9-year-old son. And he is very dear to me, of course, so I think about him a lot.

What drives him crazy?
Silly politicians. We have a lot of those in Sweden and I guess everywhere and it just makes you sort of... you know, people who are using their positions. I think that’s terrible.

What’s his perfect day?
I think a perfect day is a day in the summer in our summer house in Sweden, families, friends, nice lunch, long lunch, lots of wine, jump in the ocean, dancing all night long.

Nice interview... although he doesn’t look too good on that picture :p

Thanks for sharing.

hm. did per make this interview now? his haircut seems to indicate SOAP-era...

Could just be a stock photo...

yepp, the pic is from SOAP times, but the interview itself is great, I think. He got really open in it :) Thx!

yeah, i also thought they’ve put an old photo, but if you zoom it you can see it has the DW-TV logo at the right...
So...it seems to be an old interview they only revealed it now...TO MY GUESS.

Awwwwwwww nice interview!

I saw it

@Ferdan: if you saw it, please tell us if it was recorded now or “back then” in the SOAP golden times..hehe

Yes, it is from SOAP time, Per has a CD of SOAP. you can watch the program by DW-TV as video on demand. To watch the videos you need RealPlayer (minimum version 8).
