The funny thing is that my husband couldn’t be sweeter. He looks like this bad boy. He’s got tattoos and earrings and a mohawk, but when you talk to him and he’s around you, he’s such a gentleman. He holds doors for ladies. He pulls out chairs. He cooks. He cleans.

I think recharging is important, absolutely. Every now and then, you need maybe a couple of weeks to just chill out and let your emotions balance themselves out a little bit.
Malin Akerman
I meet so many pretty girls who are like, ‘Here I am! Don’t you want me because I look good?’ That concept is so weird to me. I want to know, ‘What else do you have going on?’
Malin Akerman
I don’t mind being goofy and silly. I love to make people laugh and I’m not self-conscious.
Malin Akerman
I’m a big pasta fan. I’m a big Italian food fan. Anything Italian – I love cheese, mozzarella. Mozzarella is my favorite, so I have to say anything Italian, I’ll take it.
Malin Akerman
Nutella. I dig my spoon in and eat it straight out of the jar. I can easily go through one a week.
Malin Akerman
I love a good Slash guitar riff. It’s sexy!
Malin Akerman
I wouldn’t have made it past the first round of American Idol auditions. It was months before our first song was recorded. The guys were like, ‘Just seeng!’ And I was like, ‘I don’t know how to seeng! Can’t I just play the triangle?’
Malin Akerman
My hair is naturally blond and thin, so I like to give it some texture. Sexy, dirty bedhead is good for blonds.
Malin Akerman
I love when you get to work with people you know because there’s so much more trust, and you’re much more willing to be vulnerable in a scene with someone you trust.
Malin Akerman
When you live in L.A., it is easy to stay fit, as the weather is amazing.
Malin Akerman
I was really shy growing up. I had braces, headgear, and no boobs – still don’t. So, the boys weren’t interested in me. The only way I could get attention was by being a goof and a dork, which meant a lot of physical comedy.
Malin Akerman
I have been a goof my whole life. I wasn’t really the popular girl in school and didn’t have any boyfriends in high school because I was a nerd. I was a geek.
Malin Akerman
As a girl I wanted the Cyndi Lauper hairstyle, with the shaved side of the head, or the Sharon Stone perm from ‘Total Recall.’
Malin Akerman
People do think you’re more intelligent if you have dark hair. But my husband definitely prefers me as a blonde.
Malin Akerman
Women have a way of contorting things sometimes. We all have our moods, ups and downs. Or if the guy doesn’t say anything when you walk out with a new top and the guy has no idea why you’re mad at him. So of course, women are complicated.
Malin Akerman
Modeling was never anything that was a career choice. I did catalog work in Toronto to make money so that I could go to school.
Malin Akerman
How can you not love a man banging on the drums? He knows how to keep a rhythm.
Malin Akerman
I have this weird obsession with kids and old people falling. Like, funny falls. It is awful, but it’s the thing that makes me laugh the most.
Malin Akerman
It’s a great beauty tip, if you ever want to look five years younger, to shave off your eyebrows. It’s amazing what it does. It really shaves off the years.
Malin Akerman
Those are my favorite kind of parts to do, just being a goofball and seeing how far you can go with something until you’re just way out of line.
Malin Akerman
I don’t really have an issue with showing certain parts of my body. I’d rather not, but it’s not a big deal. Growing up in Sweden, it’s natural over there.
Malin Akerman
Turns out, I couldn’t catch them – or even get close to them. I realized that sharks are amazing, beautiful animals who have absolutely no interest in checking me out.
Malin Akerman
I’ve always felt so different from how I look. I meet so many pretty girls who are like, ‘Here I am! Don’t you want me because I look good?’ That concept is so weird to me. I want to know, ‘What else do you have going on?’
Malin Akerman
I can’t walk by chocolate without eating it.
Malin Akerman
Don’t hate me, but I’ve always been skinny. I got lucky.
Malin Akerman
Who doesn’t love a funny girl who can look sexy at the same time?
Malin Akerman
I never was shy, but as far as telling jokes, I’m the worst. I like physical comedy; it’s where I feel comfortable.
Malin Akerman
I am extremely lucky that I have a husband who is so supportive. He’s not in the slightest bit jealous or worried about the things I do in certain scenes.
Malin Akerman
They say that your second trimester is when you get most of your energy and it’s the ‘easiest’ part of the pregnancy.
Malin Akerman
I was a groupie for a year and followed a band. I dated the drummer of the band.
Malin Akerman
I believe in eating as nutritiously as I can all the time… My mother raised me on fresh – rather than processed – foods, and that’s how I eat on a regular basis.
Malin Akerman
You’ve got to allow yourself the things you enjoy or you’ll just be miserable.
Malin Akerman
I’d love to do all types of film, not just comedy, although I love comedy.
Malin Akerman
My only requirement for life is that I don’t get stuck in a rut.
Malin Akerman
When I get dolled up to go out, men turn their heads and I’m used to it. But I think all women are sexy and should embrace that side of themselves.
Malin Akerman
I think Cate Blanchett is fabulous – she just shines in everything she does – and I’m a big Susan Sarandon fan.
Malin Akerman
I’m a tooth person… I like quirky teeth. My husband has little teeth with spaces in between them. He hates them and I love them. I like people with buckteeth, and I like it when they crinkle a bit. It’s very charming.
Malin Akerman
Unfortunately, I like to feel a little stubble when I kiss. Women are too soft.
Malin Akerman
I’m the type of person who doesn’t want to sit alone in a restaurant or bar.
Malin Akerman
I get horrified when I have to do table reads with the whole cast, because there’s a lot of stuttering coming from me, so I have to do a lot of prep.
Malin Akerman
I shouldn’t say this, but I always love the sidekicks. I want to do a leading-lady role in a film – absolutely. But I find that a lot of times I get attracted to the sidekick role. They stand out a little more because they’re quirkier, they’re funnier, they’re crazier.
Malin Akerman
We all in real life put on these masks – we don’t swear when we’re around certain people… When we come home, when you’re on your own I’m sure you’re really different than when you’re with your boss.
Malin Akerman
I do love doing films; I love going out and creating different characters for each film, and not having to be stuck with one role for many, many years. It’s a creative liberty that I love.
Malin Akerman
I love seeing when actors go from one genre to the next because I feel like most of them can pull it off.
Malin Akerman
Jennifer Aniston and Paul Rudd are really amazing, lovely people and really great comedic actors.
Malin Akerman
Anytime you get to work with an actor who is beyond you in experience and talent, I feel like they make you a better actor. You really bring up your game.
Malin Akerman
Every time I’m in Canada I feel more Swedish, and every time I’m in Sweden I feel more Canadian. I belong in both places and I love them both equally. It’s funny because the Swedes claim me as their Swedish pride and the Canadians call me their Canadian girl. I’ll take it all.
Malin Akerman
I don’t have a problem with being a woman. Women’s bodies are so beautiful.
Malin Akerman
I was always active as a kid. I was a professional figure skater for many years and I was a dancer, so it’s just been part of my life, and I think that creates a certain body type.
Malin Akerman
I’m gluten intolerant, so that automatically cuts carbs from my diet.
Malin Akerman
There isn’t a woman alive who doesn’t have problems with her body. Including me!
