Prepare your ears humans. Happy Sad Confused begins now.

Today on Happy Sad Confused, Mads Mikkelsen mixing up Hollywood Blockbusters and acclaimed

Danish cinema like his latest performance in another round.

Hey guys I'm Josh Harrowitz, welcome to another edition of Happy, Sad, Confused.

I've been wanting to have Mr. Mademicklson on for some time and finally we've made it happen.

You know him of course from stellar work like Hannibal,

cutting edge network television,

like hasn't been done in many years if at all.

And big, big movies like Dr Strange and Rogue One,

he's starring in the new fantastic Beast's movie, but really if you know Mads Mikkelson's work you know him probably first from his Danish work.

He has a close collaboration over the years

with filmmakers like Suzanne Beer

and Nicholas Winding Refin.

And he's really been able to kind of mix it all up in a fascinating career and

fascinating is the word for Mads Mikkelson.

I feel like his face, his voice, his very persona.

He's just an arresting kind of magnetic presence and I think that's why people are so attracted to him and why people are borderline obsessed with him, including myself.

So I'm thrilled that this finally happened.

I got a chance to meet Mads over Zoom and have a long in-depth

conversation about his life and career. He is currently starring in a really, really great film and an amazing performance.

It's a collaboration with another director, he's worked with a couple times now,

Thomas Winterberg.
