Frida Gustavsson gave up her modeling career to pursue acting
Pursuing a career in the entertainment business is a challenging game. Not only did Gustavsson face that issue head-on and develop a successful career as a model, but she also dared to leave it behind to fulfill her ultimate childhood goal of becoming an actress.
The model decided to drop her modeling career to pursue acting. Gustavsson is now enjoying the launch of Vikings: Valhalla, the sequel series to Vikings. The series takes place around a hundred years after the events that took place in the original Vikings series, during a period of heightened tension between Vikings and English royals.

In an Interview with Collider, the model-turned-actress said, “I’ve always loved performing and being in front of people. So when I was little, I was acting. I was in theater classes, and then pre-puberty, I went from being this little small child to being incredibly tall, like a stick figure, and I kind of had a hard time with that. I didn’t feel comfortable in my own body.”
“So I kind of lost my confidence to go up in front of people and be like, ‘Look at me!’ And by some kind of divine intervention, someone had a plan for me to deal with all of that, so I was scouted eating meatballs at Ikea.”
“The most Swedish thing ever! When they first came up to me they were like, ‘Oh, do you want to be a model?’ I was choking on my meatball going, ‘What?’ I spoke to my dad who was there with me and we said it might be a good thing for me to try to break out of my shell a little bit and get more comfortable with myself,” she explained how she got into modeling.
