Personal Life
Citing the fact that he is "child-like" as one of his best personal traits, Thommy had always loved children and desired to have his own. This desire had grown so great over the years that he noted that he felt as if he were "withering away" from the lack of being a father. In the mid-1990s, his dream was finally realized with the birth of his son to him and wife Monika Ahlberg – a cookbook author who also reviews eateries and submits recipes to magazines in Sweden. The couple would be blessed again a few years later with the birth of twin girls.
When questioned why he waited to have children, he stated that he "matured late" but that his family had come to mean more to him than he could have ever imagined. He feels that the most important thing in life is love, and said that he has never put his children to sleep at night without telling them that he loves them.
He currently resides with his family in Stockholm, Sweden in Djurgården. He adores his home and has referred to it as his place on earth. He also has a great love for art, citing Vincent Van Gogh as one of his favorite artists. He has stated that he has spent more time in the company of painters than actors.

Famous quotes containing the words personal and/or life:
“Your children don’t have equal talents now and they won’t have equal opportunities later in life. You may be able to divide resources equally in childhood, but your best efforts won’t succeed in shielding them from personal or physical crises. . . .
