Mårten Andersson talks about the near-death experience
One of the guests who visit Renée Nybergs bridge out in Stockholm’s archipelago in this week’s episode of Renée’s bridge on TV4 is none other than the comedian Mårten Andersson. During the episode, Mårten opens up about the event that made him drastically change his lifestyle.
Märten describes his old self as very self-absorbed, a person who used a lot of alcohol and had a whole bunch of “one-time sex”, all to try to fill some kind of void. Renée asks Mårten about when he realized it had gone too far, and she gets an answer that makes her jaw drop.
The event that became a huge wake-up call
– There was an episode where I was drowning when I was drunk. I was completely exhausted. I stand to urinate outside a restaurant in Stockholm, a night club, and they had already told me to “go home”. Luckily I was wearing a pink shirt, that’s what saved me because the guard who had sent me home just felt it, he has told me afterwards that he had a gut feeling that something wasn’t right, and he looks out and then he sees how someone just bang, falls from the dock.
Marten continues:
– You know, there wasn’t a human being there. In the current, in Stockholm it’s very current, so I was just pulled down, and then I got tangled in the underwater plants, so it was only my hand that stuck up. He managed to tear me up and it was a huge wake-up call, “no, but now I’m not going to drink anymore”, describes Mårten.
