The big crowd favorite Cimon Lundberg was only 19 years old when he stepped into the Paradise Hotel villa. It was in 2009 that he entered the villa and became “PH-Cimon” with the entire Swedish people.
At the age of 19, it is not entirely unusual to not know who you are and what you want to do in life, something that also resonated with Cimon. He applied to the program – and was selected.

Cimon Lundberg clearly distances himself from Paradise Hotel
A few years after his participation in Paradise Hotel, he directed harsh criticism against the program, something like The evening paper reported on. He was at the time current in FROM‘s program “It’s about you” where in the premiere episode he talked about his schooling and how it was characterized by bullying. He himself was bullied in elementary school, which resulted in him taking on others.
Paradise Hotel is back – (and it’s supposed to be like the good old days)
Cimon clearly distanced himself from the reality show and told us that he has an incredible distaste for it. That the program is basically a “pretty disgusting program”.
– It exploits the shortcomings we unfortunately have, society’s warped ideals and strengthens and glorifies many mishaps. The program is about anything but community, he said at the time.

The program that Cimon participated in at the age of 19 contributes to bullying, he said. One of the reasons he applied to the program in the first place was to hopefully show off his newfound status to his old bullies. But the program instead reinforced and exploited the norms and ideals that are the cause of the problem, he explained.

Cimon has, among other things, been a blogger, but also editor-in-chief at Isabella Löwengrips blog network Spotlife. In addition, he received the “golden pen” award at the Blog Awards 2011. He has also worked as a creative director, according to ELLE.
