31 films as the police Gunvald Larsson became it for the actor Mikael Persbrandt. In the spring of 2015 he thanked him-he had made his last Beck movie, it was called. Officially, it sounded like he would now invest in his international career, something that Expressen then reported on.

It was not until two years later the truth emerged. In his autobiography as I remember it, Persbrandt told me that he was actually fired. In the book, Persbrandt reproduces a phone call he had with – he believed – his therapist.
“I’ve turned on like hell, I have so much charging here, and it’s liquor … and brides in the entrance. And it’s hell with Beck, everything is on the way to hell, all my life,” Persbrandt said in The phone.
But on the other side, there was no therapist. In fact, Persbrandt had happened to call Lars BlomgrenCEO of the film company behind Beck.
In the same autobiography, Persbrandt told us even about his strained relationship with Peter Haber, whom he calls “Diva”.
“For his divinity. Because he sits on a pedestal – and it really is not a fancy pedestal. For how he behaves on the set. Not against other actresses, but towards the crew. It can be anything from scolding the masks to To order the script to tie his laces. For some reason he seems to think it is under his dignity to do it himself, ”Persbrandt wrote in the book, among others, which was released in 2017.

When Peter Haber guests Emil Perssons pod Prejudice pod So Emil Persson takes up Persbrandt’s autobiography.
– It’s something, what should you say, “cozy” with Persbrandt’s way of taking honor and honor of you in your autobiography?, Says Emil Persson.
– Yes, it’s a bit cool. After all, I have chosen not to comment on that because it just gets mouth -cut in the press. But more angry than angry, I was probably very surprised when I read that. Especially since there are many things that are not right at all. I was not so happy about that chapter, says Peter Haber in the prejudice pod.
Peter Haber says that it is simply not true that he has asked someone to tie his shoes.
– It has never occurred at all. I really don’t feel like a diva. I try to respect all the occupational categories that are on a movie recording, says Peter Haber.

Furthermore, Peter Haber says that he and Mikael Persbrandt have never run on each other over the years. In fact, they have not been seen since Persbrandt’s last Beck recording, which was in 2015.
– We never bump into each other. If we did, I actually don’t know what would happen. It would be exciting, says Peter Haber.
When asked if he would greet his former colleague, Haber answers “absolutely”.
– I might ask “what did you really mean?”. I wonder if he is particularly happy in that book himself, I do not know. After all, it feels like it came a little too early in his life. You do not need to write memoirs before you turn 50, says Peter Haber in the prejudice.
