You may know Dolph Lundgren from his neverending list of action-packed roles, but you may not truly know Dolph Lundgren at all.
Few people have ever launched into the star stratosphere in the manner Dolph Lundren did, but it’s the exact rise that countless dream of. You could call his biography “a funny thing happened on the way to MIT.”
You see, Dolph was headed there on a Fullbright Scholarship. That’s right, beneath the surface of the blonde, muscle-bound, highly ranked black belt was a master’s in chemical engineering. A part-time job as a bouncer led to a romance with club headliner Grace Jones, which led to a life of modeling and acting and motorcycles and… well… who would turn back at 22 and still want to attend MIT?
Dolph broke out in Rocky IV and never looked back, becoming a major action star.
