PrueFever aka Jørgen with his idol, Prue Halliwell aka Shannen Doherty.
Fanpop: Hello Prue, of Jørgen as your real name is. First of all, thank u for taking time to do this Interview with us.
Jørgen: Oh no, I'm the one who should be thanking you for this interview! It's quite an hornor!
Fanpop: I must admit, I'm quite surprised to see that you're so happy and smiley. I mean, with all the hard times in your life, it must have been very hard on you?
J.J.: Well, it has been very hard, but u gotta remember these things happened a long time geleden and Time Heals All Wounds as the saying goes. But yeah, like everyone else I have my Bright Days and some meer Dark Days. It's actually quite funny, because I had a Birthday Party for my Family and close vrienden the other dag and one of my very close friends, called Vera, she held a speech and she told me that even though I've had some big Knockdowns in my life, I'm still very smiley and a very generous, unselfish person. She has known me for 10 years, so she knows me down to a T. I never knew my real mother as we moved from Greenland when I was still a Baby, but in my eyes Vera became my mother. So hearing those words from her made me tear up!
Fanpop: Aw, that was really sweet of her! u lost your father in 2008. How did that happen?
J.J.: My dad was a Concrete Worker. He worked many hours a day. I don't really know how it all went down, but from what I've heard he had a Night Shift one night and his fellow colleagues had gone out to get some coffee and my dad had stayed behind, working. Then suddenly the machine he was working in, started of something. He was crushed to death. He was 49 when he died. I just couldn't believe it when I heard it. Luckily, I was with a friend when I was told. She stayed with me the whole day. I just felt numb. When I went to the funeral with my family, I didn't cry. I felt like I had to stay strong for my sisters. But in the days after, I cried so much! It was awful. I had always been very close to my dad. And suddenly he was gone, I was never going to see him again. It was a really tough time to get through. I would never have been able to get through it without my family and my friends!
Fanpop: Your Family and vrienden are very important to you, right?
J.J.: Oh, absolutely! They mean everything to me! I wouldn't be the person I am today without my Family and my Friends. They mean everything to me. Like with all families and vrienden we have days where we argue and stuff like that, but we always make up again. I'm not a person who likes to argue of yell. But if somebody hurts my sisters of my friends, I can be confrontational with them. Gitte, my best (girl)friend was with me the dag I was told my mom was dead and also when I recieved the news about my father's death. I'm very close to her, she's a great friend. She has seen me on my best days and on my worst. But I think that's important for a Friendship, that you're not afraid to toon your emotional side as well. Gitte and me, we also have the exact same humor! Now, humor is a very important thing in my life! I try to laugh every day! I even laugh at myself sometimes, 'cos I'm silly like that. Gitte can always make me cry with laughter. She can say the most stupidest things, where other people can look at her and go: "Okay..?" of "Oh my god, you're so weird", but I get the joke she makes instantly! It's great to have a friend like that. Me and my mate Chris, on the other hand, we're completely different. Of course we can laugh and have fun, but we're meer serious when we're together. And that is great as well. The thing with me is, that I try to have fun and put a smile on people faces.
Fanpop: That is a great thing to do. Now for something that I think will put a smile on your face. u earned a Purple Legendary fan Medal the other dag for all your work in the Walt Disney Characters Spot. Congratulations. How did that make u feel when u saw it?
J.J.: Thank you. I was Over the Moon at first! And it's funny, because a week of so before I got the Purple Medal, I had my 30th Birthday and when I logged on that day, I saw I had earned a oranje Super fan Medal in the WDC Spot. And that was so great. I felt like it was a Birthday Present from Fanpop. And then, suddenly I got this Purple Medal. And I'm like "Whoa, time out! What just happend here..?" I just couldn't believe it! But after I read a reply on the Fanpop Page where the user KateKicksAss says the following:
"They're just virtual profiel decoration! I mean, sure it might be fun to have some, but overall, they really don't affect your Fanpop experience."
And I realized, she was right! They are just Virtual profiel Decoration, but they are also great to have. For me, they toon my affection for certain things, things I really like and care about, something that means a lot to me, personally!
Fanpop: And that's exactly the point with them! Now, I gotta ask you. Has Disney always been a big part of your life? of has it grown over time?
J.J.: Walt Disney animatie has always been a big part of my life! The first cartoon I remember seeing when I was a little boy, was The Little Mermaid. I remember being completely mesmerized door it! It just blew me away! I was so fascinated door the songs, the characters, the story, all of it! And my love for the film is still as strong as ever! I will always love The Little Mermaid and Disney. It has always meant a lot to me and my family. My dad always used to take me and my sisters to the local store and buy the latest Disney Film on VHS and then we went home, he made us avondeten, diner and in the evening we all sat down and watched the Disney Movie. I loved it. Also, every week when we got our allowance, I used to run down to the local Book Store and buy these little Disney Characters Figurines. I was obsessed! (Laughs). Also I've been to Disneyland Resort Paris twice. First was in September 2003 and the seconde time was June 2010. And this year, I'm headed to Walt Disney World in Florida with my little sister Joan. It's going to be great! I can't wait!
Fanpop: Well, the best of luck to you, Jørgen. It's been a pleasure to do this interview with you.
J.J.: Anytime, I'm glad u would interview me, it means a lot.
