There is a moment in Per’s live video “Har kommer alla kanslorna - Live at Skansen”, when he looks really funny. Just look here: http://crucial-info.narod.ru
The previous frame was even better but my Media Player Classic can capture key frames only. Anyways, have phun :-)
Edit: it’s around 1:16

@on_a_mission: Ha ha!! Great description. I thought “constipated” should be in there somewhere, too... (-:

Wow!! I looked through a number of his other videos and I’m sure that it’s his outstanding habit: his left eye often meets his nose when his right one stays where it was. It’s so funny when he looks cross-eyed :-))))))))
P.S. Wait for some updates on the page, I’ll place some captions later. They’re all authentic, you can see it by downloading a video from roxbytes yourself and playing to the moment I designate.

when I saw roxette in concert (a good few years back) I did notice he moves his eyes oddly. Its as if he circles them, its comical really. I thought it was a concentration thing initially, but its probably a daft habit.
And yes, constipated is a befitting description.

The page is updated! Goto http://crucial-info.narod.ru
Moreover, looking thoroughly through his videos in slow-mo, I found that his eyes are out of proper sync with each other! Per, you’re an alien ;-)

I always thought “Wooooah! Heavy drugs!” ;) ...sorry, Per :D

out of sync?
Wait, that could be an eyesight issue. He’s meant to be as blind as a bat, isn’t he?
Heavy drug abuse is somehow the more interesting option though.
You would assume his contacts would sort that out though. Yea, drugs. Kidding.

As no-one has done this for a whole five minutes:
’Flower is Gessle. Discuss’
No essays please.

Is it possible his contact lenses to be the cause of “desynchronized” eyes? (my wife has also contact lenses and she lived at least 10 embarassing moments because one of them doesn’t stay at the right place)
Anyways, thinking of Per’s “case”, I think his whole face is a little bit more mobile than usual faces are...He always make strange grimaces when performing and when he makes some sudden moves, his eyes are not following the same path anymore: one of them is “looking” at the microphone and the other one is still “looking” at the audience; I noticed this detail since Joyride times. However, it’s something you can see only for 1 or 2 sec., and then he looks right again...Until next time when...etc., etc. (hehe)
If you have ever met Per and talked to him, did you notice the direction of his eyes? It seems that he doesn’t really look straight to the person he talks with...Am I right?

I have noticed his crossed-eyedness as well! I never knew he had bad eyes but let me tell you from my experience of being almost blind. When you go for an eye check-up, the doctor moves his pen around and you have to follow. Usually when you have high prescription, your eye muscles get weak and that causes the eyes not being able to follow actions rapidly.

I’m wearing contact lenses as well and I’m also a little bit cross eyed, especially when I’m tired or drunk ( ;-) ) and there’s no problem with it...
Yeah, Per is an interesting guy - I love his ability to pull strange faces...
And everything else about him to - of course!

he looks somewhere between shocked and concussed. Very funny.
