Life has never been easy for PrueFever aka Jørgen Jørgensen (J.J. for short). When his mom started drinking alcohol a few weeks after his birth, his father did the same thing a couple of years later, which led to Social Service removing him and his sisters from Главная and placed them in different Foster Homes in Denmark. Then in 1997 J.J. was diagnosed with Aspergers Syndrome, although on the mild end of the ASD spectrum. Then in 2007 his mother died and in 2008 his father was killed. And yet, when Fanpop met up with him in Planet Hollywood in London, it was a fresh, smiling young man we met. Ordering his Избранное Burger from the menu, we sat down and had a good chat about Fanpop, Дисней and Life in General.
Fanpop: Hello Prue, или Jørgen as your real name is. First of all, thank Ты for taking time to do this Interview with us.
Jørgen: Oh no, I'm the one who should be thanking you for this interview! It's quite an hornor!
Fanpop: I must admit, I'm quite surprised to see that you're so happy and smiley. I mean, with all the hard times in your life, it must have been very hard on you?
J.J.: Well, it has been very hard, but Ты gotta remember these things happened a long time назад and Time Heals All Wounds as the saying goes. But yeah, like everyone else I have my Bright Days and some еще Dark Days. It's actually quite funny, because I had a Birthday Party for my Family and close Друзья the other день and one of my very close friends, called Vera, she held a speech and she told me that even though I've had some big Knockdowns in my life, I'm still very smiley and a very generous, unselfish person. She has known me for 10 years, so she knows me down to a T. I never knew my real mother as we moved from Greenland when I was still a Baby, but in my eyes Vera became my mother. So hearing those words from her made me tear up!
Fanpop: Aw, that was really sweet of her! Ты Остаться в живых your father in 2008. How did that happen?
J.J.: My dad was a Concrete Worker. He worked many hours a day. I don't really know how it all went down, but from what I've heard he had a Night Shift one night and his fellow colleagues had gone out to get some coffee and my dad had stayed behind, working. Then suddenly the machine he was working in, started или something. He was crushed to death. He was 49 when he died. I just couldn't believe it when I heard it. Luckily, I was with a friend when I was told. She stayed with me the whole day. I just felt numb. When I went to the funeral with my family, I didn't cry. I felt like I had to stay strong for my sisters. But in the days after, I cried so much! It was awful. I had always been very close to my dad. And suddenly he was gone, I was never going to see him again. It was a really tough time to get through. I would never have been able to get through it without my family and my friends!
Fanpop: Your Family and Друзья are very important to you, right?
J.J.: Oh, absolutely! They mean everything to me! I wouldn't be the person I am today without my Family and my Friends. They mean everything to me. Like with all families and Друзья we have days where we argue and stuff like that, but we always make up again. I'm not a person who likes to argue или yell. But if somebody hurts my sisters или my friends, I can be confrontational with them. Gitte, my best (girl)friend was with me the день I was told my mom was dead and also when I recieved the news about my father's death. I'm very close to her, she's a great friend. She has seen me on my best days and on my worst. But I think that's important for a Friendship, that you're not afraid to Показать your emotional side as well. Gitte and me, we also have the exact same humor! Now, humor is a very important thing in my life! I try to laugh every day! I even laugh at myself sometimes, 'cos I'm silly like that. Gitte can always make me cry with laughter. She can say the most stupidest things, where other people can look at her and go: "Okay..?" или "Oh my god, you're so weird", but I get the joke she makes instantly! It's great to have a friend like that. Me and my mate Chris, on the other hand, we're completely different. Of course we can laugh and have fun, but we're еще serious when we're together. And that is great as well. The thing with me is, that I try to have fun and put a smile on people faces.
Fanpop: That is a great thing to do. Now for something that I think will put a smile on your face. Ты earned a Purple Legendary Фан Medal the other день for all your work in the Walt Дисней Characters Spot. Congratulations. How did that make Ты feel when Ты saw it?
J.J.: Thank you. I was Over the Moon at first! And it's funny, because a week или so before I got the Purple Medal, I had my 30th Birthday and when I logged on that day, I saw I had earned a оранжевый Super Фан Medal in the WDC Spot. And that was so great. I felt like it was a Birthday Present from Fanpop. And then, suddenly I got this Purple Medal. And I'm like "Whoa, time out! What just happend here..?" I just couldn't believe it! But after I read a reply on the Fanpop Page where the user KateKicksAss says the following:
"They're just virtual Профиль decoration! I mean, sure it might be fun to have some, but overall, they really don't affect your Fanpop experience."
And I realized, she was right! They are just Virtual Профиль Decoration, but they are also great to have. For me, they Показать my affection for certain things, things I really like and care about, something that means a lot to me, personally!
Fanpop: And that's exactly the point with them! Now, I gotta ask you. Has Дисней always been a big part of your life? или has it grown over time?
J.J.: Walt Дисней Анимация has always been a big part of my life! The first cartoon I remember seeing when I was a little boy, was The Little Mermaid. I remember being completely mesmerized by it! It just blew me away! I was so fascinated by the songs, the characters, the story, all of it! And my Любовь for the film is still as strong as ever! I will always Любовь The Little Mermaid and Disney. It has always meant a lot to me and my family. My dad always used to take me and my sisters to the local store and buy the latest Дисней Film on VHS and then we went home, he made us ужин and in the evening we all sat down and watched the Дисней Movie. I loved it. Also, every week when we got our allowance, I used to run down to the local Book Store and buy these little Дисней Characters Figurines. I was obsessed! (Laughs). Also I've been to Disneyland Resort Paris twice. First was in September 2003 and the секунда time was June 2010. And this year, I'm headed to Walt Дисней World in Florida with my little sister Joan. It's going to be great! I can't wait!
Fanpop: Well, the best of luck to you, Jørgen. It's been a pleasure to do this interview with you.
J.J.: Anytime, I'm glad Ты would interview me, it means a lot.
