He lived three years in Seoul in South Korea before moving with his parents and his two siblings to their parents' home country, Norway, and to Borgen in Asker. Axel got tumor under the eye at the age of nine, and everybody thought for a very long that this was the end. He fought hard for two weeks in a hospital with many operations, but managed to overcome the tumor, which has given him a stronger will to continue pursuing the dream of being an actor in Hollywood.
Axel has recorded six seasons of the norwegian comedy series "side om side" and is now in the middle of the recording of a new season. He says he is treated well at NRK, but is open for new challenges. Alongside the acting career, Axel plays football for Asker and is at their A team at the age of 15. He has just become single after a long-lasting relationship with Sofie, which he strongly influences in everyday life.
