– Love being with the family

The comedian has settled on St. Hanshaugen in Oslo together with cohabitant Erle Kyllingmark (47), in a stately brick villa he paid 25 million for in 2015. Together they have children Felix (12) and Ida (8).

In addition, he owns cabins on both Hafjell and in Kragerø, which can come in handy when caring for the family relationship between busy days. In the interview, the 49-year-old says that family life means everything to him.

– I love being with them. We are together a lot, without having to do anything all the time, he says.

Giertsen and Kyllingmark have been a couple for 15 years, and as mentioned have children Felix and Ida. Despite the fact that he loves to be with the children, there is one thing he rarely does.

– I have never been very playful, rarely sit on the floor with them and build Lego, I must admit. But I talk a lot with my children about how we cope with life, and about all the small and big things in everyday life, he admits.

– He killed Dad

However, one thing he has to stay away from is his son’s schoolwork. He received very little advice when his son Felix was to make an advertisement.

– He was going to make an advertisement and I felt that I had a bit of everything to contribute. But Felix was completely uninterested, a bit like “I’m not interested in your input”. No, for my kids, I’m probably sometimes just the stupid dad they have to negotiate with and who bullies too much. But having said that, I think my kids are extremely decent.
