Hivju has since the beginning of his career almost “always” had long hair and a beard, except for a few times. This is undoubtedly one of his greatest characteristics and trademarks.
In his own description on Instagram, Hivju has described himself as a “savage”, something many of his 3.5 million followers may agree with.
Many have therefore been surprised that the actor has now taken his iconic red beard. He is by no means clean-shaven, but the change has nevertheless ensured that the fans seem to fall off the shaft in the comments field.
Surprises
“The beard is gone (and is on its way back)”, writes Hivju, who has taken the selfie on the occasion of the Frisbee golf tournament PSC Open.
Many write “no, no, no” followed by crying emojis, while others comment that they think the actor is as handsome without a beard as with. A couple of his famous colleagues have also taken the time to comment.
Pilou Asbæk, the Dane who played Euron Greyjoy in «Game of Thrones», comments on several slaps in the face to his former series colleague. The Norwegian MMA star Emil Meek still reigns supreme in the comments field, which means that his comment is liked by most fans.

«Brace yourself. Beard is coming “, he writes, pointing to the famous quote from the hit series that winter is on its way. It was said by Jon Snow, played by Kit Harington, in the series.
The beard has been his trademark for over a decade. When he was a guest on “Senkveld” on TV 2 in April 2014, he had to answer several beard-related questions from host Harald Rønneberg.
– It’s mostly because I think it’s inorganic to take a razor blade and cut my face every day. It’s more organic to just look in the mirror and then: “hmm”, and then move on, explained Hivju about why he has let his beard grow.
Kristofer Hivju has not yet responded to Dagbladet’s inquiry.
Here Hivju gets a shock
Not always like that
He has also answered questions from Americans She about how he keeps his beard straight. Then he could, among other things, tell that he did not have a full beard when he auditioned for the role in “Game of Thrones”. Therefore, a false beard was made for him, which he was to wear.
– But when I got on the set I had a full beard and was ready to record, he laughed to the magazine.
However, there was a time when it successful actor apparently had less reluctance to shave.

Infected
This is not the first time Kristofer Hivju has attracted attention this year. He was in fact among the first to go out and told that he had been diagnosed with covid-19 infection in this country.
“Sorry to have to tell you that today I have tested positive for covid-19, the coronavirus. My family and I isolate ourselves at home for as long as we have to, “he wrote on Instagram on March 16.
With update after infection
The actor could tell that they were all in good health, and that they experienced that the infection was probably worse for others than for them. Still, it is not to be underestimated that it is obviously frightening to be infected by something that requires human life in large numbers.
One month after the first post, he and his wife Gry shared an update on the health situation. The Hivju couple could then tell that they were both healthy.
