Nieminen tells HS that it is about the need to gain a new perspective. He says that he had an absolutely negative attitude towards politics when he was young, but with the corona pandemic he has become a strong defender of society’s institutions.
– There would be so many things in the world that I could use my body and mind for. Does it correspond to what I want in the long run? Nieminen says to HS.
Nieminen also says in the interview that he thought that he was paid too much for his work as an actor.
– I approach work as earning money with a really loose wrist. I come from modest circumstances, so this way of earning seems too easy, says Nieminen in an interview.
