His takeoff was thanks to “Death in Venice”, a film by the Italian master Luchino Visconti inspired by the novel by Thomas Mann, where he played Tadzio, who apparently also sentenced him and even five decades later continues to fight and rebel against that role that instead of serving as a take-off for his artistic career, he became a wall that he could never overcome, a ghost (of himself) that haunted him for the rest of his life, this is reflected in an article shared by Infofabe.
The problem was that after the global success of his character, people began to see him with lustful eyes and objectify him because of how aesthetically attractive he was to human eyesight.
The role was given to him in 1971 for its unique beauty. The director needed the young man who plays Tadzio to fascinate the naked eye and to be adored by the camera. Björn was the one as he met all those requirements.
“With surprise, Aschenbach noticed that the young man was beautiful. His graceful face, pale, surrounded by honey-colored hair, the straight and fine nose, the luminous mouth, the expression of divine and enchanting seriousness was reminiscent of the Greek statues of the golden age. And that absolute perfection fascinated in such a way that the observer believed that he had never found something so successful, either in figurative art or in nature ”, in this way Thomas Mann first describes Tadzio in Death in venice.
So much was the pressure that the young man exerted on himself that every time he collided with reality, he ended up disappointed and with a wounded ego. Björn Andrésen spent the rest of his life competing against himself, against his perfect image of adolescence, he was his own enemy.
Fifty years later, he continues to fight, rebelling against that film role that instead of serving as a take-off for his artistic career became a wall that he could never overcome, a ghost (of himself) that haunted him for the rest of his life. Currently, Björn is 66 years old and lives in Stockholm with her partner.
