Tennis player Casper Ruud of Norway shared an interesting detail about his girlfriend’s response to his recent Viking photoshoot. Ruud recently changed into his Viking avatar for renowned photographer David Yarrow. The purpose of the photo shoot was to showcase Ruud’s Norwegian culture and his unwavering spirit to reach new heights in tennis. Although Ruud doesn’t particularly like this image, his girlfriend feels quite differently.
Ruud’s Viking photo session has now stunned the tennis community. Although they adore this transformation, a lot of tennis fans believe Ruud is the most charming Viking ever. His girlfriend agrees with his followers in light of his new sharing.
Ruud replied when asked by a reporter about this photoshoot: “Yeah, it was quite an interesting photoshoot; honestly, I wish the photographer had been up like in the middle of Norway and cut off like a real sheep skin from the sheep. So it was bad. And I had a plan. I was going to the movie theatre with my father-in-law later, so I was a bit nervous that I was going to smell like a sheep all over.”
Ruud also narrated how his girlfriend, Maria Galligani, loved his look. He said: “I’m not sure how I feel about it. My girlfriend, Maria, wants it in the house. I want it down in the basement.”
