“Take a tender English family and send them on holiday to a tiny Swedish island full of maniacs. Simple. Not so much nuts in May. More nuts in Mayhem. After working with Lena in Fight with my family I couldn’t imagine anyone else in the world that I wanted to play Susan. So I was absolutely thrilled when I heard that not only did she read the script, but she actually liked it so much that I was honored to say yes and be my on-screen wife again.”
