Compelling Details About Adam Pålsson
1. Pålsson is from Ostehanninge, Sweden
Adam Pålsson was born Adam Gustav Justus Pålsson on March 25, 1988, in Osterhanninge, Stockholm, Sweden. His parents are Kurt Pålsson and Elisabet Pålsson.
The 36-year-old is discreet when it comes to revealing details about his early life, and family background. As a result, it is difficult to tell whether he is the only child of his parents, or, whether there are others.
Moving forward, he enrolled at the Stockholm Academy of Dramatic Arts (SADA) in 2008, and graduated in 2011. The school has produced a number of Swedish a-list actors, including Mads Korsgarrd, Peter Stormare, Pernilla August, and Lena Olin.
2. A Close Look at His Professional Acting Career
Although the details regarding when the Osterhanninge native began acting are sketchy, the year 2012 stood out for two reasons. Firstly, it is the year after his graduation from SADA. Secondly, he put into practice what he learned from the Stockholm-based institution.
He first wrote his own play, Frida är gravid! (Frida is pregnant!) and had it put up at Teater Galeasen, in Stockholm. In addition, he reenacted William Shakespeare’s 16th or 17th-century play, Hamlet in 2010.
Away from the theater, Pålsson earned some big TV roles that gained him acclamation in Sweden. He played the role of Rasmus in the 2012 Swedish TV drama Don’t Ever Wipe Tears Without Gloves. Moreover, he portrayed Ted Gärdestad in Ted: För kärlekens skull (2018), and Emil in 3rd season of The Bridge (2011).
The actor became internationally inclined when he started earning roles out of Sweden. The first of those came when he appeared as Mads in Armando Iannucci and HBO’s sitcom Avenue 5 (2020). Similarly, he depicted Kurt Wallander in Netflix/Yellow Bird TV series, Young Wallander (2020), and Christian in Before We Die (2017-2019).

3. What to Know About The Young Wallander Actor as a Musician
Pålsson dabbles in music besides acting. He was the lead singer for the indie rock group, AR&DAR.
The rock group was founded in 2007, but it took some years before they started releasing songs. This caught the attention of record labels, but the band prefers to make music that touches the soul than get caught up in the industry’s game.
Later on, the group took a break, while the Swedish actor is more dedicated to his acting career at the moment.
4. He is Not Married But is Engaged to Swedish Actress Celie Sparre
Adam Pålsson is not married, but he is in a relationship with 37-year-old Swedish actress, Celie Sparre. The two met while on the set for the 2012 short movie, Prinsen, and started dating almost immediately.
In 2014, Pålsson proposed to Sparre at the Elle Gala. At the time of this writing, there is no news of a possible wedding date.
Additionally, he is a year younger than Sparre. He is currently 36 years old, while Sparre; born on July 3, 1987, is 37 years old.
The relationship has produced two kids; daughters named Daylan Pålsson (9) who was born in 2015 and Demi Pålsson, 6, born in 2018.
5. The Osterhanninge Native Was The Only Swedish Actor In Young Wallander
Despite Young Wallander being a Swedish series, Pålsson was the only Swedish actor to appear in it. He was initially worried about the language barrier, even though he speaks English. At the end of the day, he put it aside and focused on what was before him.
Besides him, Richard Dillane, Leane Best, Ellise Chappell, Charles Mnene, Jacob Collins-Levy, Alan Emrys, Kiza Deen, and Joanna Preston are from the UK.
6. He Is Not The First Actor To Portray Kurt Wallander on Screen
The Swedish actor is not the first to play Kurt Wallander, a fictional character created by Swedish crime writer, Henning Mankell. Also, it was portrayed by 3 other Swedish actors; Rolf Lassagard, Krister Henriksson, and Sir Kenneth Branagh.
7. Adam Pålsson Is 6 Feet 2 Inches (183cm/1.83m) Tall
Pålsson stands at a height of 6 feet 2 inches (183cm/1.83m) tall.
He is quite tall compared to the average height of men in the world who are 5 feet 7 inches (173cm/1.73m) tall. Additionally, he is taller than an average Sweden male who is 5 feet 9 inches (180cm/1.80m) tall.
The 6 feet 2 inches (183cm/1.83m) tall actor has been acting for 12 years for now. Despite that, he has only appeared in a few projects out of Sweden, and his roles are major ones. Would his appearances on Avenue 5, and Young Wallander earn him more international roles? Only time would tell.
