Who Is Lars Mikkelsen's Wife Anette Støvelbæk? She Is an Accomplished Danish Actress

Lars Mikkelsen and his wife, Anette Støvelbæk, have been together for many years and have welcomed two children. While he is commonly known for multiple hit American shows, the actor's wife has made a name for herself in the Danish film industry.

Lars Mikkelsen has become a familiar face on the Hollywood acting scene for his roles in well-known shows. He has played Troels Hartmann in "The Killing," Charles Augustus Magnussen in the third series of "Sherlock," Russian president Viktor Petrov in "House of Cards," and more.

On the other hand, his wife, Anette Støvelbæk, has made a name for herself on the Danish acting scene and has earned multiple award nominations — which recently saw her win one of them — for her acting talent.

When Did Lars Mikkelsen and His Wife Meet?

During an interview, Lars revealed that he and Anette have been together since he was in college. After serving in the army, the actor enrolled at a university where he briefly studied Biology.

On the other hand, Anette was on a juggling course, which saw her take a two-day juggling trip. When she returned, the actress introduced her husband to the exciting juggling world, and Lars revealed he was hooked.

Lars and his wife are proud parents to two sons.

Over the years, she has been cast in multiple movies and television shows, including in 2021, when she shared the silver screen with her husband in "Venuseffekten," translated to "The Venus Effect."

That same year, Lars' wife's acting talent saw her win the Lauritzen Prize from The Lauritzen Foundation. Following her win, Anette took to Instagram and shared:

"Many thanks to The Lauritzen Foundation. I am so honored and proud to receive this wonderful recognition. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for shedding light and attention to culture."

The Couple's Son Followed in Their Footsteps

Lars and his wife are proud parents to two sons. One of their sons, Lue, followed in his parents' footsteps and pursued a career in acting. At the time of this publication, Lue had starred in multiple films and series and joined his mother in winning an award from The Lauritzen Foundation in 2021.

"And a huge congratulations to my amazing son who received a Believe in You award yesterday," Anette added in her caption.

In May 2020, Thor posted a video of himself performing an impressive flip on Instagram before sharing three videos of himself and his friends practicing a few tricks by the beach.

In October 2020, he shared pictures of him and his friends practicing acrobatics. In November 2021, the son of two actors revealed in a post that after much practice and determination, he finally nailed new techniques.
