Thea Sofie Loch Næss: – I had the lead role without being auditioned. Now Norwegian Thea, 22, thanks Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga

Monday has updated the oldest and largest online movie database, IMDb, its own list of the world's most popular actors. Or "starmeter" as we also call it.

The names on the prestigious list often attract a lot of attention. This time, Norway's Thea Sofie Loch Næss (22) is among the first.

In the tenth place, in front of actors such as Johnny Depp (55), Scarlett Johansson (34), Bradley Cooper (43) and Lady Gaga (32), the name of the player is 22 years old.

For Norwegians, she is perhaps the most famous of the movie "Night to 17", but in recent years, she also enjoyed great international success with the television series "Last Kingdom", in which she plays the character of Damage.

When Dagbladet spoke with Loch Næss on Tuesday, she is still in shock at the location of the list.

"What was fun was that I was told yesterday, the day of my birthday.I really hate the birthday, but it was an incredibly nice surprise, says the player of 22 years, and continues:

– It's completely crazy. I took a lot of time to dare to tell myself actor, but now I can, she laughs.

Got the role without hearing

On the list is the role of "The last kingdom" which is drawn. At Dagbladet, Loch Næss tells her that she got the role without even being auditioned.

"I had filmed a" self-recorded "house in the Oslo lounge and sent it in. I was pretty sure not to have had it because They had called a person between the ages of 20 and 40, who should be malicious, I am very innocent, says Loch Næss.

The case continues below.

Thea Sofie Loch Næss went to LA to attempt a completely different role in the "Sweetbitter" series, when she was contacted by the production of "The Last Kingdom".

– They asked me if I could attend an audition, but since I was in LA, I could not do it. So, they gave me the role without even being auditioned. It was an incredible chance because I did not get the role I had auditioned in Los Angeles, she said.

Thus, the trip went to Budapest to record the hit series, which has been published so far with three seasons.

Not moving

Loch Næss is currently in Oslo. At least for a few days. In a week, she returns to the United States, but returns home for Christmas.

In other words, it means one for 22 years.

After the role in "The Last Kingdom", the actors were streamed. Today, she plays the independent film "Fabrics Fabrics", including actress Dylan Sprouse (26 years old). She has also watched films such as "Dryads" and has just completed the recording of the thriller "Civil Twilight" scheduled for next year.

Although there are many trips abroad, Loch Næss is always determined not to leave Norway permanently with the former.

"The last time I went to Los Angeles, I noticed that I am very grateful to be from Norway.Also I have those friends and family that I have.There is a pressure extreme down there, where almost everyone wants to be an actor.You may notice her self-esteem, "she says adding:

"I like the balance that I have now." "The best of both worlds," if you can say it. I will probably still want a permanent base here in Norway.

The next step for Loch Næss is difficult to answer.

"I just want to play with games, every role I take as a challenge and a new experience, I certainly dream of hard-to-manage roles, like the role I played in" The Last Reign, "she concludes.
