Christoffer Strandberg and Janne’s spouse are thinking about the next direction in their lives-“We need space and time for other things”

– If there is such a place and life is not fully lived, is this the right place to be in the future? We don’t know.

The warm breeze blows on the terrace of Christoffer Strandberg. The actor-presenter sits on a garden chair, drinks Vichy and ponders the direction of his life.

Going on is the fifth summer of her and Tendon-The spouse’s joint Siuntion home. An idyllic home is a couple’s joint project, both of which have their own responsibilities. Christoffer takes care of the home garden, Janne is responsible for construction.

Strandberg is happy to talk about his home and especially his garden. There are also details in the Prame residential area that Strandberg is enthusiastic about showing after the interview with the journalist and the photographer.

Strandberg’s voice includes enthusiasm, positivity and satisfaction. Strandberg describes things as well in their lives.

Still, he and his wife Janne are not sure if they intend to spend the rest of their lives in the same home.

– Here you would easily see yourself how life revolves around the yard, career goes on this path and here it is screaming. But I feel like both are needed for space and time for other things, ”says Strandberg.

35-year-old Strandberg has made life an insight. Because life is short and unique, it must be used wisely. For example, traveling together is linked to this idea, which the couple has found in recent years.

Sometimes the interview is interrupted. Strandberg’s Janne spouse and the couple’s joint Viivi dog are spinning on the terrace. In addition to Siuntio’s home, Viivi is another thing to take a brisk slice of the couple’s free time.

However, in the midst of all the time to socialize with friends and meet new people.

– There is a lot of space here to organize parties. Well, how many celebrations we have in a year, maybe one in this yard, Strandberg says.

Relationship

Siuntio’s home is only one part of the Strandberg cohabitation, which began on May 2012. So now has been 13 years.

– So long that you no longer remember, Strandberg laughs.

Long relationships are often asked what their secret is. Strandberg was also prepared to answer the question before the interview.

He has no general answer to the question, but for him and Janne, the answer is clear.

“There is a deep friendship and respect for another,” says Strandberg.

Crises have not been avoided over 13 years. They describe them as places of growth.

– There are places in a relationship where you will notice that you have gone in different directions. Because of my work too, I’m so much away from home. The distances and not spend time together to eat a relationship, Strandberg says.

According to Strandberg, cope with crises has increased deep friendship. The key to everything has been to say things.

“I have learned that you can never assume that even your best friend and spouse knows what’s going on unless you say it out loud,” Strandberg says.

The salt of the Strandberg cohabitation is a functional everyday life. The couple takes into account each other in everyday life with small things. These may include, for example, making coffee or thanking the basics for another.

“It is not always that” a year married, Jes, “but that it is continuous,” says Strandberg.

Strandberg’s cracks

Although the next step in life causes reflection, Strandberg says he is happy with his life. Everyday life does not shaken even about the situation in the world, which of course worries Strandberg.

In May, Strandberg wrote a neat but praised Instagram post, where he called for a change to male culture. On the same themes, Strandberg is now writing a book. He has noticed that he does not describe himself primarily as a man, but primarily through others, such as career and place of residence.

“The bemaric driver has even come to my mind, which is by no means flattering,” Strandberg laughs and says that he no longer has that title to himself.

However, a man is a word Strandberg did not want to use for himself. From this point of view, Strandberg’s reflection on what he thinks about men began to break down. Through a book project, Strandberg wants to challenge men to reflect on what the narrow catalog of masculine does for self -portrait.

Even when talking about heavy things, Strandberg’s voice has a positive tone. The reactions received by the Instagram post in May show that Strandberg’s publicity image has apparently been kept. According to his own words, he receives “surprisingly little” hate messages, most of the criticism is constructive.

Strandberg admits that sometimes a positive public image feels like a prison. Only a narrow part of Strandberg’s personality is visible to the public.

“It’s wonderful to be liked, but I also hope that I can be a versatile person with cracks,” says Strandberg.

Cartridges in Strandberg include temperament and difficulty asking for help.

– I’m a perfectionist. It’s not always a good thing. I can’t ease. If I have an idea or a headache, it is difficult for me to let go of it, Strandberg says.

Directed by Sweden?

One of the cracks in Strandberg is one that he does not see as a purely negative thing. It is absolute. The half is visible in Strandberg, for example, in values.

Although Strandberg has an absolute side, many doors are open in his life. For example, the question of how long you enjoy in the Siuntion home.

As far as Strandberg’s own dream dreams are concerned, one clear area comes up in his speeches: Sweden. Strandberg would like to try working there in his career.

– I have a constant need to expose myself to new audiences and the larger arena. It’s some engine that is in me and it hasn’t gone off yet, Strandberg says.

Is it ambition?

– That’s it. I realize I am extremely ambitious, but I do not have certain things that I have to achieve or prove that I can get there. In a way, it is a goal -free force, Strandberg says.
