Aksel Hennie Facts

  1. Aksel, in his late teenage years, was arrested for graffitiing – writing, painting, or drawing art on a wall, usually without permission and within public view. Graffiti can range from simple written words to elaborate wall paintings and is considered defacement and vandalism in most countries when done without permission.
  2. He confessed to the police upon his arrest and became an outcast in the local graffiti community after this incident. Aksel used to sign his graffiti by writing ‘Ceel’ and ‘Mikro’ and his graffiti can still be seen in and around Oslo, the capital and most populous city of Norway, even though most of it has been crossed out due to his confession.
  3. He was convicted upon his confession and this was one of the first such cases recorded in Norway. This entire episode contributed a lot to the background of Uno, a 2004 Norwegian drama film directed by Aksel – he also played the leading role in it. The film was critically acclaimed and he won multiple awards at numerous European film festivals for both his acting and direction.
  4. In 2004, he was also named one of Europe’s ‘Shooting Stars’ by the EFP (European Film Promotion), an international promotion organization that is a unique network of 38 national film promotion institutes from across Europe that represent films and talent from their respective territories. EFP promotes the diversity and the spirit of European cinema and talent at major international film festivals and markets.
  5. In 2016, Elle (a widely-read global women’s magazine of French origin) named Aksel ‘Norway’s Most Sexy Man’.
