Alexander Ludwig—yeah, that guy who went from fighting for his life in The Hunger Games to swinging axes and conquering kingdoms in Vikings. Born in Vancouver on May 7, 1992, he’s got three siblings and, for real, a cat called Puss in Boots. His mom, Sharlene, used to act and now helps steer his career, while his dad, Harald, is pretty much Hollywood-adjacent, sitting on the board at Lions Gate. So, you could say showbiz runs in the family. His big break? Playing Cato in The Hunger Games. The dude nabbed two awards for that and then just kept hustling—Lone Survivor, The Final Girls, Bad Boys for Life. Not to mention, he absolutely crushed it as Bjorn Ironside in Vikings. That show? Massive. Like, millions-tuning-in-every-week massive. He played the king’s son, heir to the throne, and honestly, stole most scenes he was in. And he’s not just an actor—he’s into music, loves adrenaline (think skydiving, extreme skiing, probably anything your mom would tell you not to do), and apparently writes for film and TV too. He’s got fashion chops, repping Bvlgari and consulting for RYU, that sporty line. Even when he isn’t in front of the camera, he’s off surfing, traveling, or doing charity work. People who’ve worked with him say he’s not just talented but actually a decent human. No Hollywood diva energy, just a guy doing what he loves and making a name for himself while he’s at it.
referencennSeven. That number seems to chase him everywhere. Born on May 7th, at exactly 6:53 AM—so, yeah, seven minutes to seven. As if that wasn’t enough, the guy tips the scale at 7 pounds, 7 ounces. It’s almost like the universe played a joke and doubled down on the sevens, right? Superstitious folks would probably say he’s destined for crazy luck or, I dunno, some wild fate. It’s not like you meet a lot of people with that kind of numerical alignment in their birth story. I mean, people make a big deal out of Friday the 13th, but this dude’s got sevens on repeat. Makes you wonder if he ever played the slots in Vegas—imagine the luck! Either way, seven follows him like a shadow, and honestly, it’s got a nice ring to it. That’s a number you don’t just forget.
