I exercised four to five days a week, doing cardio and Thai kickboxing with a crazy Serbian guy. I was on a certain diet because I wanted to be a tomboy like Lisbeth. She’s a bit cartoonish sometimes, in the book. It’s hard to believe that she can do all of these things, especially since she’s small, looks like an anorexic, only eats junk food and smokes all the time, yet Lisbeth can fight ten guys and win. She can run like a sprinter, so sometimes it was hard for me to get a clear picture of who she really was, and that made me want to humanize her and be credible and realistic. I transformed my body to be able to do everything from the fight scenes to driving a motorcycle. I cut my hair and had piercings to go as far as I possibly could with her character. -Noomi Rapace.



"She’s in me. I’ll always carry around my character."

"In Rome, two 25-year-old guys approached me with tears in their eyes and asked: ‘Can we get a picture, Lisbeth?’. She still means a lot to people."
