Peter Stormare - Personal Life

Personal Life

Stormare divides his time between the United States and Sweden. He is divorced from his first wife, actress Karen Sillas, with whom he has a daughter, Kelly, and is currently married to Toshimi, a native of Japan.

After Bono of U2 heard some of Stormare's music, he encouraged him to make an album. In 2002, Stormare released his first album, Dallerpölsa och småfåglar. Stormare is the godfather of Gustaf Skarsgård, the son of equally-acclaimed Swedish actor Stellan Skarsgård, and plays in a band called Blonde From Fargo. While working on a Disney film in Prague, Stormare was introduced to Bob Dylan after the concert by bassist Tony Garnier.

Peter Stormare is a Christian, and claims he has had contact with God. When he was little, he participated in the Baptist meetings in Arbrå. He has a strong spiritual side, inherited from his mother who was a medium, she in turn inherited this from her father.

Famous quotes related to personal life:

    Wherever the State touches the personal life of the infant, the child, the youth, or the aged, helpless, defective in mind, body or moral nature, there the State enters ‘woman’s peculiar sphere,’ her sphere of motherly succor and training, her sphere of sympathetic and self-sacrificing ministration to individual lives.
    Anna Garlin Spencer (1851–1931)
