Olbrychski’s youngest son renewed contact with him after many years. What is known about Viktor?

In 1988, Olbrychski’s third son, Viktor, was born. When Łapicka found out about this, she was furious and almost immediately filed for divorce, which was finally finalized a few months later. She also decided to limit his contacts with her daughter to a minimum, which was a blow to his heart. Sukowa also decided to take a similar step.

Viktor Longo, which is the name of the actor’s youngest son, contacted him only when he became an adult. Although it took time and work, they eventually managed to rebuild their relationship. However, not much is known about the 36-year-old because he carefully guards his privacy and avoids the spotlight. He lives in the United States, where he creates music.
