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:
“The medium is the message. This is merely to say that the personal and social consequences of any medium—that is, of any extension of ourselves—result from the new scale that is introduced into our affairs by each extension of ourselves, or by any new technology.”
—Marshall McLuhan (1911–1980)
“Just as we need to encourage women to test life’s many options, we need to acknowledge real limits of energy and resources. It would be pointless and cruel to prescribe role combination for every woman at each moment of her life. Life has its seasons. There are moments when a woman ought to invest emotionally in many different roles, and other moments when she may need to conserve her psychological energies.”
—Faye J. Crosby (20th century)
