Actor Riku Nieminen35, says In an interview with Helsingin Sanomat that he wants to change his field. According to HS, Nieminen applied to study at the University of Helsinki in the politics and communication education program in the spring, but did not get a place.

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.
