Life[]
Mikael Persbrandt is frequently the subject of much press gossip in evening newspapers such as Aftonbladet. He has also been involved in numerous scandals. He was arrested for twice in 2011 for cocaine usages,[1] and was arrested again in April 2014 and he faced a five-month imprisonment.[2] While it was not officially noted that this resulted in a severe reduction of Beorn's scenes in the The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies, many scenes of Beorn were noted to be cancelled during the production's In the Making scene recorded in the Extended edition.
