Date of birth: February 23, 1971

Nikolaj Coster-Waldau confesses, that he decided to marry the tall slim beauty Sasha Nukâka Motzfeldt (her birth name) that very moment he had met her. He remembers not just the exact date of their meeting, but even the exact time – March 17, 1997, at 8.35 am. At that time Nukâka arrived at the radio station to participate in the program with several other young celebrities, including Nikolaj. At that time he was an aspiring actor, who had just graduated from the Danish National School of Theatre, and she was the beauty queen. No wonder, because she has the ideal model-like body and pleasant oval face with huge dark eyes. By the way, Nukâka comes from a respectable Greenlandic family – her father was one of the political leaders in that country. After school, she was immediately scouted and became a famous model, actress, and singer. She won the title “Miss Greenland” and participated in the “Miss Universe” contest.

They dated within a year when Nikolaj asked Nukâka to marry him. Their beautiful wedding ceremony took place in 1998 and they are an item since then. Two beautiful talented people have lots in common till now. They share several screen projects (for example, the Danish drama film “Vildspor”) and two sweet daughters.

For those, who don’t know, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau is a famed Danish actor. Probably, his most popular screen work was in the series “Game of Thrones”. His other projects include “Gods of Egypt”, “The Other Woman”, “Oblivion” etc.

He entered this world in Rudkøbing, Denmark, and since the earliest years acting was his passion. He was trained professionally at the Danish National School of Theatre, and in the late 1990s, he had already become famous in his home country. His first screen works were in the films “Nattevagten” (“The Night Watch”), “Nattens Engel” (“The Angel of the Night”), and others.

The actor quickly became a star of Scandinavian movies and TV series, and his agent advised him to try his hand in the international arena. Soon Nikolaj found the agency in London, which represented him as an actor in the United Kingdom and the USA. One of his first English-speaking acting experiences was in a hard, but interesting film “The Kingdom of Heaven”, where he had an opportunity to collaborate with reputable worldwide known actors like Orlando Bloom and Eva Green.

He had already been married and became the father of two girls when his career reached its highest point. He was cast as Jaime Lannister, one of the most contradictory characters in the saga. From one point of view, he is an assassin, who dastardly killed little Bran Stark (Isaac Hempstead Wright) in the first season. But during the next seasons, he was a true warrior without any fear.

The participation in “Game of Thrones” made Nikolaj not just popular, but rich, too. He used his salary from the project to rebuild his family house. Now the Waldaus can boast with the beautiful comfortable residence.
