Alicia Vikander’s Age & Ethnicity

At the age of seven, she was already a stage actress, performing in several musicals and productions. She was part of the singing show Småstjärnorna in 1997 when she performed a song titled “Du måste finnas”. Picking an interest in dancing, she enrolled in a ballet class at the age of 9 in 1998. She soon graduated to a higher ballet class and had to move from Gothenburg to Stockholm to major in professional dancing. Although she made her film debut in the movie, Pure (2010), Vikander gained much popularity in 2008 with TV drama series Andra Avenyn, where she appeared for two years. For her role in the film Pure, she won several awards like the ‘Rising Star Award’ in 2010, the ‘Shooting Star Award’, as well as the ‘Guldbagge Award’ for Best Actress.
