His small “what?” when they asked him to undress was so sad. He had no idea what was coming.
but also notice he undressed....that was on him...if you want to be famous but you're willing to kneel and suck to get it....that's on you
The hysterical crying much have been terrifying
@@anunknownperson4018 no, he is pretty, and it isn't a curse. humans are.
@@anunknownperson4018 it has it's problems but no, it is a gift
That made my stomach drop so suddenly, that poor boy..
His love for his wife as an adult is more beautiful than any photo taken in his youth.

Also, amazing comment, really meaningful, well done.
I'm not crying there's just something in my eyes...
damn. really well put.
@@allbyhmsf9878 i'm not, you're crying 🥲
That was beautiful
I remembered reading how he loved Japan and really enjoyed his time there and expressed that he wanted to visit it again. I think the reason he didn’t hate Japan despite being the reason that inspired the bishonen trope is because they simply admired his beauty and never asked him to take off his clothes or to visit gay bars where older men leered at him. He wasn’t exploited there…
pls you’re clearly uneducated lmao don’t talk about gays if you’re not aware of what it is
Yes its so fascinating we must thankyou for him
I’m pretty sure they did do that though. I think it was just all the other good aspects that cancelled it out.
There needs to be a case study on why people vehemently kiss Japan's ass like I feel like the results would be so interesting
@@hippopilot6750 according to your ass perhaps?
He lost his mother at a young age
He never knew or met his own father
His grandmother used him
People around him who made him popular destroyed and abused him
He lost his son at a very young age
He became alcoholic and depressed
His marriage with his ex-wife failed
Bjorn is the male version of Marilyn Monroe
Hi, I came across this trailer and your comment. So this is based off a true story? A burning question I have.. I look forward to watch it as media and beauty standards can be disgusting
@@chayeahpuddin omgg I see it’s a docc okiee thanks 🙏🏼😊
marylin monroe was not so tragic , lets stop describe people as victims first of all, second of all Bjorn lead good life and has a lot to be proud of , Marylin was truly talanted and brilliant and both of them people are full of hopes and beauty despite how people treated them
Very true. His beauty and life were sacrificed at an alter of perversion.
Unhealed trauma breeds more trauma down the line. He had no one to protect him when he was young and needed protection and so couldn't protect or help himself later in life. Truly heartbreaking story. As a parent my heart breaks for him as a child as well as a parent who lost his child. So much tragedy and trauma in one lifetime.
@@zenitsu1909 shut up
I think people are taking this too literally. He is not the most beautiful boy in the world, that is the point, he was objectified and exploited as a child for consumption by adults around him. That is fucked up. That is bad. He's not saying being attractive is what made his life hell, its the adults who found him attractive as a CHILD that made his life hell. They made a label and put it on a child for lust and monetary gain without considering the person he actually was. It is creepy enough to consider alone, they didn't have to curate this a certain way to make you feel anything, its out of respect for his story.
People's true thoughts on the internet make me realize every day why predators always get away with it and why victims are continually victimized and blamed over and over again. It's easier to critique Bjorn than the people who made him 'the most beautiful boy'.
I agree so much with you that I am sad.
THIS
Much in the same way the sexuality of children is toyed with in schools and media; turning them into rainbow-people before they even know what ROYGBIV stand for.
I agree... Hollywood and other Wealthy Owner's of Media, whether G, PG, R, or X Rated get away with this type of greed. The Corey's are a also a good example of Child Exploitation.
@@bobbydazzler8684 Bobby, you've obviously not seen the documentary. The documentary and neither the og comment targeted the movie itself, they are critiques on how the young star was treated behind the scenes and in his life after the shooting of the film, and today. On how he is objectified, not so much by the film itself, but how people took the film and his role in it.
“Beauty is terror. Whatever we call beautiful, we quiver before it.”
― Donna Tartt
I love Donna tart, but I disagree with that quote. Because what's considered beautiful is different for everyone. Beauty is rarely ever considered "terror" in most cases.
@@angelnunnart The terror derives exactly from the power beauty has on us, i don't know who this donna tart is but i like the quote.
@@paolostival6972 she’s an author. She wrote a very popular book called The Secret History
Copy someone's quote did indeed makes you look cool
Ugliness is more terrifying and atrocious as the Apocalypse.
I remember when I was a kid I was given the opportunity to model. My father said said hell no. At the time I was upset but now as an adult, knowing what I know i'm glad I didnt.
Same - I was about 10 when a modeling agent spotted me walking just outside our home with my mother and asked if I'd like to become a child model. I did actually do one photo shoot, but my child modeling career thankfully ended when we moved abroad straight afterwards.
@jm gee glad
Glad
I wanted to be famous when I was younger but now I'd never even dream of it.
I would never let my kids be an actors/actress or model. I won't even post pictures of them online. So many parents are exploiting their children for money
“Get him to undress” “..what?” Broke my heart
its insane that this man was what inspired alot of modern day anime aspects literally the real liufe bishounen boy and at that age it breaks my heart
I wrote the same thing but somehow RUclips deleted my post...
He literally looks like those old final fantasy characters
Yes!!! And vintage anime as well. The character of Anthony in 1970’s Candy Candy comes to mind
@Naruto🍜 Oh definitely, Howl's Moving Castle for sure.
@@Sishel Gilbert Cocteau from Kaze to Ki no Uta was absolutely based on Björn Andrésen as well, the mangaka even said so
I feel bad for him..they emotionally, physically and sexually abused him just because they labeled him as "the most beautiful boy in the world" 💔
@@bobbydazzler8684 it's not about the crew..He mentioned on his documentary that the director of "that" movie forced him to go to gay clubs/bars to test if he is gay.. "Sexually abused" doesn't have to be always "physical"...
@@bobbydazzler8684 I don't think you will understand my point. Stop making assumptions and wrong notions about my statement. If you disagree, there's a simple way...Leave this comment. I have no energy to fight with nitwits online.
@@bobbydazzler8684 Thank you for saying bye! Finally..What a beautiful day to start 💯
You are right. Objectifying an underage kid (who has no agency over his/her life), undressing and labeling him for public consumption is sexual abuse in today's world. Anyone with an iota of intelligence will understand that. No need for proof. The trailer itself makes me uncomfortable.
@@bobbydazzler8684 he was sexually abused , straight men are literally attracted to it btw they can't resist a boy like him .
This beautiful boy is single handedly responsible for the anime male character design done by animators and illustrators in the 1970s-80s
Dude I totally see it!!
Like which specifically?
He's why SpongeBob has long eyelashes.
So they can stop pretending they’re modeled after Japanese people then…
@@femdivinemind7777 I don't want to sound racist but I think that a lot pf japanese DRAWN male characters look more European than Asian. Especially with regards to the shapes of their noses and cheekbones
Calling a child the “most beautiful” is setting them up to briefly use and be used, until a newer prettier item comes along. The people who flock around “most beautifulls” aren’t generally keepers.
I feel like he wasn't seen as human more like an accomplishment or like a trophy
Story of Marilyn Monroe's life
every women ever, what do u think a trophy wife is
@@vampiszoonis9691 but EVERY woman is objectified, as you are regrettably evidencing
@@sunnygolightly9996 she has such a beautiful soul and she died because she was trying to involve herself in the political world. She didn’t want to be young pretty and dumb, she was way more but they killed her.
@@vampiszoonis9691
“I’m not just some trophy wife!”
“Trophy wife? What contest in hell did I win?”
fun fact: he is the old man that jumps off the cliff in midsommar!!! i heard about him because apparently a bunch of japanese audiences recognized his face and showed covers of manga and fiction novels that used his face as reference
edit: big trigger warning!!! gore, violence, blood, death!!!! sorry i didn't include that in my original post, my bad
Oh! Yes that was a horrific scene!! He must have enjoyed it very much
Wut?! Very kool to know, thanks for sharing!
didn't know that. Interesting easter egg. Thanks.
Wowwww
Same
The film (as well as the novel) Death in Venice is certainly an incredible work of cinema. Thomas Mann’s vision being realized on screen in epic, profound fashion is very much worth watching. That said, I am pretty disturbed by Visconti’s treatment of him and what was put on his shoulders at a young age. I wonder if the gruesomeness of his scene in Midsommar felt cathartic to him, to be able to subvert the image of him as an ideal beautiful form by having his face bashed in brutally in the film. Just me speculating.
I watched his documentaries and it’s crazy how he’s literally celebrated all over the world,basically the blueprint for the modern anime men considered the most beautiful boy But he never expected any of it when he first auditioned from his school.. the way everything completely changes over time is crazy
So sad why are you put Mongolian plastic surgeries face in your profile picture?
And this angelic Natural beauty boy is the reason Japanese and Korean people went to crazy about feminine boy beauty. because they doesn't have this kinda of beauty.
So that's why Japanese and Korean men's getting plastic surgeries for get that kinda of beauty.. it's crazy to seen East Asian plastic surgeries culture
this is what people call dangerous beauty but it is actually people who are dangerous, doing harm to someone because of their beauty just to satisfy themselves, it's sad that this is still happening right now to celebrities, korean idols etc. and its much worse
"the most beautiful eyes have cried the most tears" implying that even the most beautiful can go through so much.
very well put ❤❤ beauty isnt dangerous, but what people want to do with it, is. and yes, those tears have to be hidden, as people dont want to believe the beautiful can also be human and have hearts ❤❤❤ bless
@@angelnunnart Okay chill u all he is not all that but he was a child.Predators don't look for attraction,it's what's there for them,it's horrible.
@@balloon3939 I'm sorry?
@@balloon3939 That’s true. People of all types (ages, looks, etc) are abused, and I’m sure on the same scale if not more (statistically there are less very beautiful people). But sometimes it could be beauty that predators lust after, and sometimes more commonly it is really vulnerability or taking advantage of someone who wouldn’t be believed (so not seen as conventionally attractive by a majority). But in this case, it is actually beauty and vulnerability together.
Just watched it and its amazing...not going in to whether he was abused or not as I suspect its something he wishes to keep to himself. He's an old man now but still remarkable ..I mean if you saw him walking towards you now, you'd never forget that look. This is a caution to Parents etc who want there kids names in lights on movies etc..DONT put your children in harms way like this! I have no doubt that if that Director was still alive he'd be in trouble although Bjorn doesn't say anything implicit. I just hope he get's his life back on track..after all these years, he deserves that at least
Where did you find it? I would like to watch it as well.
@@theart8039 Thanks a lot. :)
66 is not so old.
@@Swinging135 No of course it's not old but 66 isn't young either!! my point was he is still magnificent in a crazy way..I have very pale eyes, like almost white and people ask me to do this or that so I wear contact lens so I dont upset people..Im 16 and Bjorn is 66
@@theart8039 Well, he has an amazing head of hair!
This a film that society sorely needs and I hope it spreads worldwide, this could open up a very important global conversation about beauty and what it is that makes a person's worth. I've been trying to dissect this recently in Korean society, this obsession with this unachievable "perfect" beauty and literally idolizing for appearance. It's time a shift needs to be made to scale back and rediscover what it is that makes a human good, what makes one worthy of being idolized, it shouldn't be based in appearance but in character, in empathy, humility, creativty, intuition, curiosity, inquisitiveness, things that once were held in such prowess should be so again
Beautifully said, thank you :)
Let me add something onto that already well thought out text, no human should or 'deserves' to be idolised, no matter their achievements. They can be admired and we can be inspired by their bravery but never to the point of idolisation, unless of course you wish for his tragedy to repeat itself eternally, and unless you really don't care about all the good human you one-sidedly decide to idolise.
Don't force your thought and feelings onto other people, it's trashy.
@@kilariinazuma8273 Idol represent an idea greater than themselves, it's not the person people are idolizing.
@@kilariinazuma8273 I 100% agree with what you're saying. No one should be idolized, not the person and surely not even images.
And this angelic Natural beauty boy is the reason Japanese and Korean people went to crazy about feminine boy beauty. because they doesn't have this kinda of beauty.
So that's why Japanese and Korean men's getting plastic surgeries for get that kinda of beauty... It's so crazy to seen East Asian plastic surgeries culture
Ugly people are hated and beautiful people are ravaged for their beauty, such a sad shallow world.
There's beauty AND mankind admires ...AND, Immediately, kills it!

@@timstill152 an androgynous, beautiful boy; 'bishonen' in Japan. Like Donatello's David, in Florence Italy. Perhaps a young David Bowie; David Sylvian.
The guy unironically looks like every single "feminine pretty boy" antagonist In any series ever
He looks like the trans guy in euphoria
He was super big in Japan….. a ton of Anime Characters were modeled after him…. Which prob trickles down to modern day….
@@alejandromolinac and that's kpop. Beauty standard for men in S-korea.
@@myridian4516 there isnt any trans guys in euphoria
Because this character archetype was unironically modeled/hugely inspired after him
I am so sorry all this happened to you. You deserved better, Björn.
his face is literally like a renaissance art
except not literally
❤
I clearly remember when "Death In Venice" was a new movie. I was age 10, he was age 15. I've always wanted to meet Björn Andrésen. Both Then & Now.
You couldn't have comprehended the meaning at 10. It is for old people reflecting on their lives.
He doesn't even look like a beautiful 'boy', he looks like a moderately pretty girl
@@maaz322 why don't you write this as an independent comment instead of hiding in a comment thread?
@@maaz322 He looks like an extraordinarily gorgeus boy.
Just watched and was really sad :( I can say he has something special even as an old man it’s appearance is very remarkable, even the way he thinks, so sad what they did to him
😢
Real beauty doesn’t go it fades but still can be seen.Bjorn is the true example
I am a 14 year old girl who recently found this video. It is true, I find him to be very pretty, but I would never go out of my way to fantasize over him in person and see him as an idol withought even knowing him.
True beauty is in the soul, how bright it shines and how you walk the path of light. How you express yourself withought harming others and being a role model for goodness..
Withought getting a chance to live a life in which you know yourself can impact you physically and emotionally. Never idolize somone based off of their looks, for that could truly lead you to corruption.
That being said, I feel that this boy could have shared much more beautiful things rather than looks... It breaks my heart to know that adults would do such a thing for their own greed. If the man that chose this boy to be in his movie was as beautiful as him, would you idolize him not caring that he impacted this boys life just because he was beautiful?
Beauty isn't always in somthing that is appealing to the eye, and even still it should be respected.
A fool would pick a beautiful flower to hold it in his house just so that he could see that he holds it- leaving it soon to die and wither.
A wise man would let the beautiful flower be, allowing it to live its fullest life.
My heart goes to you my friend, you are still yet beautiful within.
@FANTASY CLIPS Thank you very much for reading my comment 💙 I had no choice but to say somthing!
Have a wonderful and blessed day my friend, stay safe! 🌼
You are saying it, child .
You don't mean any of it, you will become an adult who will treat ugly people like shit and fangirl over hot guys.
That's just reality
@@vampiszoonis9691 And is that how you became? If so that's a pity that so many people think that when you get older you become corrupt and treat others like crap. And if you think you are doing well with this it's also a shame that people always put themselves higher than others.
Theres also good people in the world, and even if you can't see them don't blind yourself with what you always see because it's familiar to you.
Also I don't suggest you go around sending messages like yours to kids. I honestly don't see how your doing better.
@
Sweet Cup 'A Tea - Your comment is wise and heart-warming to read. Stay sweet. Ignore @Vampis Zoonis - s/he seems to be a bitter cup 'a tea, at least right now. (Perhaps s/he will outgrow it?) All the best!
@@MossyMozart Haha thank you, your very sweet yourself! I don't know why there's so many people trying to say I'm not a kid like is it that surprising that there's good people in the world too?... meh I don't pay attention to them. I only hope that they get better because dang am I sick of getting notifications for these people
All the best to you too, thank you for having a little faith 🌼
That child became the model for all bishounen characters in shoujo manga
so he's the culprit, damn.
When I saw Midsommar I didn't know that was "Tadzio" who jumped from the high cliff. The moment in the film is gory. Knowing he was him make the sequence even gorier
Something poetic about his gorgeous face being completely smashed in. In a way, I hope it brought Bjorn a touch of peace. Even if fleeting.
@@toribroyles1606 lmao over-exaggerating much
@@krabbykat9918 ....I don't think you know what that word means.
A pathetic, worthless, utterly pointless film. Sickeningly ugly, useless direction, hopeless acting, laughable characters. Sad that he presumably needed the money.
@@jamescassidy3995 What´s a good horror film for u then?
When he was young, he looked like the "Fallen Angel" painting
Imagine the stress of growing up, when you think everybody only values you as a child. And that upon getting older and maturing you might lose that. Then have to ask such existential questions about self and value, all while still being a little kid.
OMG.. I can only imagine how much they might have exploited him... I know it was in the past still my heart goes for that little boy 🥺🥺🥺🥺
Precisely, it's all in your imagination. Another ignorant victim of cancel culture! [sigh]
Sometimes, beauty is a curse.
True,Bjorn said Death in Venice ruined his life
Facts
yes indeed... I can't go outside without my hat and sunglasses. LOL ;p
nope, beauty is a blessing, ugly people who exploit beautiful people is the curse
@@dayah4245 Not all beauty is blessings, get it my what I say: "Sometimes, beauty is a curse". To correct what you say, there is no ugly people in this world, those the society make this word "ugly" to degrading the confidence and own beauty of the people.
He looks like one of those angels painted by people in victorian days
right!?
That look of Bjorn at the end, though... Looks like I could see a mix of anger and sadness. The more I learned about his story, the more I felt bad for him. Even today, celebrities (especially pop idols who are also minors) are being treated the same way he was treated, especially with the whole parasocial relationship thing they have to put up.
ok but it must be haunting to have your young self immortalised like that..photos upon videos upon articles of who he once was
many of us who modeld a bit have that (but ofcourse not to the same extent). there are photos of me topless and underage somewhere out there......and nude... it still brings shame to think about but i didnt know better and i was alone. its a creepy world. parents, be very protective if your child goes into modeling / acting etc !!!!!
@@audhumbla6927
😱😱 Oh my goodness gracious that is wild!!
It’s so sad how people can literally ruin so many childrens lives with this expectations of success, fame and beauty
This somehow reminds me of a character from an anime called banana fish named ash, a boy who was increadibly beautiful, but due to that factor he was exploited in lots of ways ever since he was a young child, he was tragic character.
Can a woman do that to a child?
It happens to girls all the time, but when you see it happening to a boy, it really hurts (because finally, people understand how it hurts).
Finally someone said it. Boy or girl, it’s equally disgusting to have such lustful desires on a person. Unfortunately, it happens so often to girls that it’s not seen as much of a big deal but When it happens to a boy, that’s when people will milk the “oh no!” Out of it.
What a despicable comment. I'm not remotely surprised you had to make this about females. One of the VERY few documentaries that actually discusses the objectification of males and somehow...oh yeah, let's make it about girls again. Because the abuse that males go through, hey why talk about that, when it can be swept under the rug.
@@petrichor3647 not the original commenter, but how i interpret their comment is that it's already expected from people in our society that girls will be sexualized from a young age (hence women sharing their experience of being catcalled as young as 8 years old and etc.). as such women, and by extension men, are conditioned to believe that though it's a bad thing to sexualize girls this way, that it is endemic in society and rather than dealing with the real problem (perverse men etc.) people try to teach girls how to "protect themselves", often through contradicting means with other "feminine values".
on the flip side, sexualization from a young age (or at any age) is not common for men and boys, so it seems like a shock when it happens. and since now the sex that doesn't experience blatant sexualization much, or at all, sees the story of that happening to someone of their sex, then it "hurts" because it could've been them.
I understand my comment is quite long so a good TL;DR is Eyyyy's comment above yours :)
🤓
@@eyyyy3265 so true
1:40 He looks like the painting The Fallen Angel
Tbh she looks like a girl
i was literally looking for this comment lmao
my first thoughts too
That's literally what I thought
He was in Midsommar, the guy who jumps off the cliff in a ritual and fails to die.
I can't even imagine his pain. I'm glad he has a loving wife who cares about him :)
The movie was fabulous. I've been mesmerized by Bjorn since first seeing "Death in Venice" as a kid. I always wanted to know his story. If he only had more guidance, he would've had an awesome experience. Visconte was correct in his title of Bjorn. Like Marilyn Monroe, Bjorn's Adonis looks, mystique, innocence, vulnerability, etc., truly made him a timeless rare beauty.
It is human tendency to destroy beauty, once a beautiful thing falls under the greedy eyes of a human it's bound to be broken.
There have never been any beautiful thing that survived after getting in the hands or in the eyes of humans.
I'm not only talking about looks, it's also about relationships, wealth, happiness, a good character, nature and so on.
such an underrated comment
Wrong
@@vampiszoonis9691 ok
Because everyone wants that beauty to themselves desperately, and if they can’t get it they destroy it and tear it apart!
@@cuixinshi ya
I remember seeing that film when I was really young, didn’t have a clue what it was about, but it felt very uncomfortable seeing an old man eyeing up a boy. It scared me. Now I see it as a pedo. And a child without power. Might watch it now as an adult and see what I find in it
"Now I see it as a pedo." That's a very honest admission, and it must have taken some bravery to admit it.
@@Clissoldkid are you being sarcastic or get where I’m coming from, you’ve got to admit it was a weird film. Still haven’t watched it yet
It was a beautiful film about an ageing man, Dirk Bogarde , transfixed by a youth boy who happens to be beautiful and young. Very poignant and beautifully acted film, with Mahler's 5th symphony. A pure masterpiece....
@@sudanbewaobdedebo will give it a watch, I’d appreciate the music now as an adult
@@lesleyhubble2976 You haven't watched it yet, and yet you are passing judgment on it. It is not a film for young people who don't know anything.
어렸을적 일은 큰 상처이겠지만, 지금 가족들이랑 행복하게 살고있으니 다행이다.
Omg I remembered he was super popular in Japan.. never knew hurtful story like this…what a heart broke..
God he looks like coming straight out of 70's shojou anime/manga
They’re literally all based on him.
Example of this manga?
They're all based on him. He was trended in JP when Midsommer was shown and JP fans saw him, or a pic of him
Beauty lies in the eye of the beholder.
And in this case the beholders exploited said beauty to an ungodly extent. I don't wanna know how confused, terrified and lonely that kid felt.
Not really
This has been on my “movies to watch list” ever since I saw the main character’s face. I can’t help but be reminded of that one infamous scene in The Hour of the Wolf directed by Ingmar Bergman.
i remember some people mentioned this kid was the inspiration of many mangakas for their protagonists, but i never thought it was this fucked up...
This was heartbreaking..just the trailer broke my ❤
He is still so charming!
This boy looks like a prince, it’s sad how beauty can be treated in a disgusting manner. 🗿
Treated by men. Only men do that shit
He was taken advantage of. A young boy with no parental figures or anyone who cared about him around him and used by these pedophiles. It's sad.
je suis allée voir le film à sa sortie , j'étais tombée amoureuse de Tadzio, nous avons le même âge.. Il était mon idéal de beauté..50 ans ont passé, nous sommes un peu vieux à présent, mais je trouve que Björn Andresen garde une certaine beauté . En tout cas le film reste un chef-d'oeuvre du cinéma
D'accord. It is a masterpiece film for all time. Björn remains beautiful for all time, for those who can comprehend beauty.
🌹👏👏👍
To put the eyes on Beauty is to put the eyes on Death
Beauty is a Platonic ideal in the book/film. Emphasised in the final scene.
'Beauty and death'... brings to mind the work of Japanese writer Mishima. There's a film about him; soundtrack by Philip Glass.
@@ghosteyes2708 Yes but inner beauty is the primary form (divine), then outer beauty is the secondary form (cosmic).
That's exactly the kind of idiotic statement people spend a lifetime of education to escape from.
An extraordinary man, but who suffered a lot. The poor man, he didn't deserve so much suffering!
I hope he finds peace and can live a better life than what happened to him.
He looked so confused when they asked him to undress
I can look at him, at his face, and I can see boys today with a similar look who might feel that they’re unattractive or weird. Beauty is so subjective and we place so much power in it. Why? What is the value?
@Empty Carousels the value is to exploit in every form and way possible. Sad yet true.
that's because it's not only subjective for the most part. a lot of it is objective because it has to do with symmetry, balance, and proportions. there's an actual science behind it. it's just that some people get praised more than usual sometimes. but yes, there's a subjective and objective part to it.
@@greyalien826 Aren't those aspects of symmetry and proportion more to do with a face being considered acceptable and average rather than actually beautiful? And is the beauty you're referring to the kind one depicts in paintings and art, or is it the kind when you look at a real person's face?
@@TheWatev123456789 possibly to a degree but if you're really arguing that symmetry and proportions don't play a role in attractiveness you're lying to yourself or deceived. i don't really want to get into it because of how obvious it is. art isn't what i was talking about but art is simply an extension of what we consider beautiful and that's usually symmetric, pre much everything we like is.
@@greyalien826 I don't think I said that symmetry doesn't play a role in our idea of beauty. But I do think we have different standards for different things. We don't perceive beautiful faces in art the same way we perceive beautiful people in real life or beautiful architecture or beautiful furniture. That's why I asked. I think symmetry tends to be a basic thing we like for something to be acceptable, but I don't think it dominates what we consider really beautiful. And I think we value symmetry more in art than we do in real people. When it comes to people, symmetry seems like something that makes someone acceptable, but if they don't have something particularly interesting or striking about their face, I think we're unlikely to think they're really beautiful. Although again, that's highly subjective. Some people value symmetry a lot more than others. I personally don't find people beautiful just because they're symmetrical. There's usually many more dimensions to it and I think that's influenced by a lot of dynamic variables. In conclusion lol, I think symmetry plays a small role in beautify but a large role in general acceptability.
Thousands auditioned for the lead role in this classic movie and Bjorn was lucky enough in landing the part. He had an adventurous experience and was the envy of many boys who lost out.
He would have most likely ended up the same way film or no film.
In life, opportunities may come one's way and it's how you seize upon them and optimise the life changing experience
This man was the grandfather of all anime protagonists.
I feel so bad for him, he deserves better, not this! 😢
Just this trailer is already heartbreaking.
Once i saw a movie "Death in Venice". And then found a story about that boy. I feel so sad for him and both proud! He is strong and wise! He deserved much better life than being pedofiles dream... I am honored to know his true story and shame on everyone who took part in his perveted childhood. Long live beautiful person!
What’s his name?

Fascinating to see how what was once considered the epitome of male beauty - in the pre-mass vanity, pre-mass porn, pre-selfie, pre-protein powder gym hysteria world - has changed.
nah, I can still see teenage girls fawning over looks like that. I did maybe 10 years ago. Pretty boys are always in
MALE beauty? - The most beautiful BOY in the world'
Nothing fascinating about the itemization of minors as beauty objects then or now. It seems their marketing strategy of calling him the "most beautiful boy" still works nowadays...
Pre protein powder gym hysteria??
The ancient Greeks and Romans might disagree with you buddy
Idk this guy is still attractive by today standard.
I watched Death in Venice without all of this context, I can’t look at the movie the same way now
This is why we have to protect people in their youth, they have to live a lifetime with the abuse. I see the older face of that boy now a man, and I wish with all my heart I could go back and time and protect him with my life so that the man he became would not have ever had to overcome terrible pain
Interesting Fact: He also was in Midsommar. He plays the 72 year old man who participates in the Attestupa.
Protect your children, people.
That boy looks like he could be or play most Ancient Greek characters
I'm so happy I saw this clip, it made me feel my real feelings.
I always feel so bad for beautiful people.
I feel disgust hearing children being exploited
I can only imagine what sick shit he was put through when he was involved with this industry at an early age.
Looks like a very interesting study of identity, especially when you’re told you’re identity is external your whole life. Having it all on the outside leaves nothing on the inside.
Excellent documentary
Amazing, such an evocative trailer ✌️💕
Even as an older man, he is still beautiful to look at…
Único,maravilloso e inolvidable. Te queremos y admiramos. Siempre Bjorn!!!
Now every time a watch a new-for-me anime now, I check out the characters and I'm like -"Yep, there's Bjorn." There's always one.
This is so heartbreaking. 😪
Beauty in the eye of the holder I think this is the expression.He had an angourouus look and maybe it was this that liked as different .I hope he has had peace and his life as adult .
I remember watching death in Venice
Just realized that Hunter Schafer (Jules from Euphoria) looks very similar to Björn Andrésen. They both have that ethereal look.
Furthermore the beauty remains in the eye of the beholder.
Yeah, he was looking for beauty alright. . .and innocence to devour.
Beauty is in the eye of the beer holder.
That’s sad. This will definitely be a good documentary for the world to watch.
A masterpiece.
i saw the title and thumbnail and thought to myself "he IS very pretty" and thats the only reason i clicked, and now with context im just kinda... extremely sad.
I wish more people would watch the trailer and understand the context :c so many people are replying stuff like "um, I've seen way more attractive guys" and "is this a joke? He's not even hot" but they're totally missing the point of the documentary :c
Failure
It is so sad how such a beautiful creature can be destroy by mankind. We live between monsters and we cannot know who is not.
I’m a native Japanese speaker. So let me tell you… his Japanese singing is excellent❤❤❤
I always cry no matter how much i watch video bout him :(
He was definitely PASSED AROUND if you get my meaning. I'm also certain that at times it was forced. His eyes show the pain of a person that has been sexually assaulted.
They all get passed around in the industry
Bro, you here reading eyes and assume sexual assault, lmao. You can feel bad for him without bringing unfounded accusations.
Assuming stuff is bad 🗿
This wasn't Hollywood. Given that he complained about feeling uncomfortable being stared at in bars where Visconti took him, I think it's unlikely that he was passed around. If he had been assaulted, it wouldn't make sense to only talk about his discomfort with being stared at.
Yes, European film isn't Hollywood - thankfully.
This is exactly how I feel everyday
woww yess I remember watching the documentary about him on arte ... crazy story and very interesting
I would love to see this film. I only wish it was much more accessible.
Hey, it’s Bjorn Andresen!! Bjorn took a swan dive off a rock in the movie ‘Midsommar!’
