Dolph’s European Getaway
Swedish actor and action icon Dolph Lundgren took to Instagram this week with an announcement that has fans packing their bags vicariously. In a brief but telling caption—”Heading to Europe for a break with my personal assistant Bello. ✨🇸🇪🇳🇴🇺🇸”—he revealed that he’ll be swapping Hollywood lights for Scandinavian vistas and a stateside pit stop.
Lundgren’s post included three flags—Sweden, Norway and the United States—hinting at a multi-leg journey that bridges the Old World and the New. The actor’s social feed showed a candid snap of him and Bello, his longtime personal assistant, surveying luggage with passports in hand.
Swedish Roots Meet Scenic Stops
Born in Spånga, Stockholm, Lundgren has never strayed far from his Nordic roots. A chemical engineer by training—he holds a master’s degree from the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm—he first cracked the global stage as Drago in 1985’s Rocky IV. Now at 65, he’s carving out a well-earned pause between projects.
The Swedish flag in his trio of emojis marks a homecoming of sorts. Norway’s inclusion may nod to fjord-lined road trips or visits to Oslo’s waterfront, while the U.S. flag suggests Lundgren will swing back to familiar territory, perhaps reprising promotional duties for his Hard Cut Vodka brand or catching up with Hollywood colleagues.
Balancing Blockbusters And Business
Between action-packed shoots, Lundgren has built a growing entrepreneurial portfolio—most notably Hard Cut Vodka, which he co-founded in 2019. Last year’s Instagram streams from New York City cocktail lounges and Los Angeles residencies underscored his hands-on role in the vodka venture. Now, a breather in Europe will let him recharge before ramping up film commitments.
On the cinematic front, Lundgren is slated to appear in Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, reprising King Nereus alongside Jason Momoa. Industry buzz suggests shooting schedules are tightening, so this European interlude arrives at a perfect juncture.
What Comes Next
Fans can look forward to scenic snapshots as Lundgren and Bello move from one country to the next. His knack for sharing studio-free moments—whether sparring in a retro gym or sampling local fare—promises a travelogue that marries action hero swagger with everyday authenticity.
With Bello by his side, Lundgren underscores the value he places on trusted partnerships. Bello often handles everything from travel logistics to on-set coordination, freeing the star to focus on creative ventures and quality downtime.
As the actor trades stunt choreography for passport stamps, his followers are already flooding the comments with destination tips, from Stockholm’s archipelago to Norway’s Lofoten Islands. On the U.S. leg, expect stops in Los Angeles and New York—two cities where he regularly champions his vodka brand and reconnects with longtime collaborators.
Whether you’re tuning in for breathtaking landscapes or behind-the-scenes snapshots, Lundgren’s Europe break promises a blend of heritage, adventure and a dash of entrepreneurial flair. Keep an eye on his Stories for a firsthand tour of castles, coasts and cocktail bars.
The hard-charging star is taking a well-deserved pause—and with flags flying and Bello at his side, this trip is set to be anything but ordinary.
