Went to the cinema almost every day and had reportedly seen more than
13,000 movies since the age of 5.
Worked as a movie theater projectionist before becoming an actor, "so I
could see movies for free!" according to himself.
Had 2 children, Ann-Charlotte Ljung (born 1947) and Claes-Martin Ljung (born 1953), with his wife, Birgit Ljung.
Did the voice of "dad" in Povel Ramels song "Far jag kan inte få upp min kokosnöt" (father, I can't break open my coconut). The song is a cover of "I've got a lovely bunch of coconuts.".
