Krokdal and Lundgren met in 2019 and married last summer at the villa in Mykonos, Greece.
Lundgren said that he and Krokdal and working on a comedy film together.
The Sweden-born actor blasted his birth country for its migrant crisis and the growing number of rapes befalling citizens as immigration spirals.
“In the past week three men were sentenced for gang-raping a handicapped girl – one assailant got 4 years the other two 2 years prison term. Another man was sentenced to 4 years for repeatedly raping his daughter,” he said in June of 2022, before contrasting the cases with another man who was sentenced to 11 years in prison for selling drugs on the internet.
“Sweden has the highest rate of rape per capita in Europe and one of the highest in the world,” Lundgren added.
