Born Hans Lundgren, Swedish actor and martial artist Dolph Lundgren rose to fame in 1985 when he starred opposite Sylvester Stallone in Rocky IV as Soviet-Russian boxer Ivan Drago. He reprised his role in the 2018 film Creed II, now as the trainer to his character's son Viktor. But the 6-foot-5-inch action star didn't originally plan on entering show business. He was supposed to take a Fulbright scholarship to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology for chemical engineering in 1983.
But Grace Jones, his girlfriend at that time, "changed it big time." In 1982, Lundgren got a job as a bouncer for the Slave to the Rhythm singer. A night of partying together led to a four-year romance that heavily influenced the 26-year-old's career path. In 1983, he did take the scholarship but quit after a few weeks. Since then, his fate would change drastically, not just in terms of stardom but romantic life as well.
In 1994, Lundgren married fashion stylist and jewelry designer, Anette Qviberg. They divorced in 2011. But during their marriage, they lived a luxurious life in Marbella, Spain, away from the Hollywood chaos. They wanted to give their two daughters a normal childhood. Ironically, these days, their grown-up children have been getting lots of attention on social media. Here's what we know about Dolph Lundgren's daughters.
Who Is Ida Sigrid Lundgren?
Ida Sigrid Lundgren, 25, is the eldest child of Dolph Lundgren and Anette Qviberg. She was born in Stockholm, Sweden on April 29, 1996. Ida is also an actress. As an actor turned filmmaker, her dad was able to give her starting roles in small films like Command Performance and Castle Falls. In 2010, she also made an appearance in a TV series called Gumball 3000 med Erik och Mackan.
The 5-foot-11-inch stunner has been focused on modeling lately. The Instagram star has 192,000 followers on Instagram where she endorses several products as well. She's represented by several modeling agencies like TREND, MIKAS, and Wilhelmina, the prestigious agency that has represented the likes of Christy Turlington and Janice Dickinson, who had a fling with her father back in the 80s. Dickinson admitted to having a threesome with Lundgren and Jones.
Despite her dad's many connections in the industry, Ida carries her own when it comes to her modeling career. She's built a pretty good social media presence without making headlines for something scandalous like most celebrity children. Just like her dad, the blonde beauty is also serious when it comes to staying in shape. On her Instagram, you'll see photos of her boxing with her dad and working out with her friends.
Who Is Greta Eveline Lundgren?
Greta Eveline Lundgren, 19, is the youngest child of Dolph Lundgren and Anette Qviberg. She was born in Stockholm, Sweden on November 30, 2001. She's on her way to following the footsteps of her sister as an actress and professional model. With over 61,000 followers on Instagram, she already has a pretty big fan base, too. But these days, Greta has been spending most of her time with her parents and sister.
Dolph Lundgren and Anette Qviberg have maintained a good relationship following their split. They still celebrate their daughters' birthdays and other holidays together. Greta even posts throwback pictures of her parents as a couple. Like her sister, Greta is also private when it comes to her dating life. She has a photo of a rumored boyfriend on her Instagram but she hasn't really shared anything else about it. These kids were surely raised to avoid celebrity drama. Kudos to their parents.
Dolph Lundgren's Fiance Is Younger Than Ida
Ida and Greta have managed to stay under the radar until recently when their dad announced his engagement with Emma Krokdal, a 24-year-old fitness trainer. Yes, she is younger than Ida. Fans were quick to troll the couple, saying something like, "Congrats to your daughter and partner." Well, Krokdal definitely looks like one of Dolph's daughters in the picture below. It is kind of weird, no doubt. But The Punisher star isn't the only actor seeing a much younger woman these days.
There's Dennis Quaid, 66, who recently married Laura Savoie, 27. Then there's Lundgren's The Expendables co-star, Arnold Schwarzenegger, 73, with Heather Milligan, 46. To be fair, some fans argue that Lundgren looks pretty good for his age anyway and that these days, any young woman would still easily fall for his stature, physique, and looks. Well, that's sort of true. But come on, that doesn't change the fact that the Aquaman actor's fiance eerily looks like her daughters. It's hard not to question what's really going on there...
