That's really brave of Alexander to be open about his struggles! I hope everything works out for him!

This interview was so professional, no silly questions, no hurting anyone's feelings, and with Alexander being honest and an amazing person, he made the interview so much better.

"There's nobody but yourself who can initiate such a difficult process as getting rid of something taht you think is going to save you". Thank you very much for the subtitles!

As a person who can't sleep well, pills sound wonderful but I'm afraid of this very thing. And I think that Alexander is so brave and so kind. I really respect him both as an artist and as a human being. May you flourish and I hope your music touches many others.

Am i the only one that can't take my eyes off of him and thinks that he should be a model?👀

Thank you for English subtitles! ♥️

I honestly enjoyed the interview. I'm not happy that he experienced addiction but i'm happy that he opened up about it. Somehow he became SO relatable. We all go through dark times like that and now it feels like he's one of us. He's a fighter and a survivor. Sharing his journey can motivate a lot of people to start the change within themselves. And we still will be supporting him to get better. When I was reading about Belarus protests, I was curious how he would feel about it. And now I got my answer. I'm from Iran myself and the situation is pretty similar to what we experience. I have family there and I worry about them when I'm living abroad. I hope he will be able to visit his family all the time without any worries. Him doing a masters made me feel like I'm not falling behind in life. I can also take my time and get there when the time is right. Overall, he's always been a favorite but now he just became so relatable that it just feels different in a good way. Sending him and his loved ones best of luck and best of wishes.

This interview is very beautiful , you know , I mean this interview has many different feelings at the same time . It's so touching ...

Thanks to him for this level of honesty. So relatable and human. We love and respect him so much. Great interview :)

Having listened to this today 02/02/2024, I have even more respect for this guy. Honest, humble and thoroughly watchable, great interview :)

Being an HSP is one of the hardest things in my life. I'm glad Alexander showed us what we SHOULD NOT do when we experience too many emotions and feel overwhelmed. That there are better ways to deal with them. Thank you for opening up Alex and I wish all the best for you.

It's a very good interview, I'm glad he feels better now. He does come across as hyper and sensitive, so I'm not surprised he struggled. He's very intelligent and nowadays given the context, it's better that he stays cautious to protect his family in his parent's country. By the way, I loved hearing the Norvegian language. Good luck Alexander.

8:02 the fact that he nearly quit everything 🥺

Dear Alexander, in a world that so often values macho above sensitivity, you are very brave mentioning that you are a 'highly sensitive person. (1.52) Well done on being open about that. I really sympathise with you not being able to get to sleep after a show and hope you can get some comfort from Dr. Elaine Aron's groundbreaking study 'The Highly Sensitive Person.' How you describe yourself is totally HSP. Being an HSP means that you are both introvert and extrovert, in that you can be the life and soul of a party but you then need to go off to a corner in order to process everything that has been going on around you. Otherwise, you can't sleep properly. I think the amount of people that Aron mentions as being HSP in any given population is 20%. It is an important book because it emphasises that even though you can easily get overwhelmed by everything that is going on around you, you still matter. You are just as important as those who need more 'noise' in their lives in order to cope. I hope you never forget this - you matter too!

I'm a bit late, but he's so brave for opening up. Alexander is such an inspiration, he's a fighter and deserves a big hug.

Yiaaaa Alexander 😍

He is an inspiration and his music brings joy to the world! The world is in great need of such joy. ❤️🙏 Thank you, Alexander! I think you responded very wisely and diplomatically, as the global artist you are. Well done 👍

Спасибо за возможность понять о чём рассказывал Александр. Очень мужественно рассказать о такой проблеме. Это может на самом деле кому-то помочь. Саше желаю поправить своё здоровье как можно быстрее.

My english ain't the best but i still want to try to say what this interview made me feel cause it made me feel a lot of things. I did read about this on instagram but I found this interview couple years later but I started crying when Alexander spoke about the pill abuse, it feels somehow comforting that someone else knows too what it is and how it feels cause I have experienced pill abuse too for many years and actually realized it only some months ago so he put into words the thoughts that I couldn't. Also the fact that I grew up being a fan of him, I was only 10 when he won eurovision and since then he has been my role model so he has been a big part of my life, I dont know how to describe it in english but now as 23 years old (hopefully not sounding as a creep fan) it makes me feel like i have even deeper connection to him cause he has struggled with the same struggles as I have so hearing his words about this really touched me. Thank you for opening up about this, it has helped me and many others too

My brave mentor to far away! I will always trust in you and support you! Stay safe, be careful and grateful for your big talent and your life! ❤🙏🏻🕊🦋🎶🎻🌌😻

Thank you for opening up, it's really brave. I wish you all the best!

Thanks for sharing! Love his music 🎶🎶🎶

Thank you for posting this cause I really wanted to know what Alexander went through, and I hope he's doing better now!

Beautiful, strong and brave human being, you will always have my unconditional support and my heart, Alexander. ❤ Your story touches me in the deepest part of my soul, of my being, big hug! ❤ An amazing interview, thank you! 👌🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

thanks for the english subtitles

I saw him in real life and I’m his biggest fan I’m turkey and Russia and Norway

I would have been honoured to help.him to overcome this addiction.... I have already helped out many guys with emotional issues like that. Only a sensitive and heartful guy can experience these issues. Love you Alex ❤❤ Wish you Love , peace and understanding you deserve.

Great interview!

Alexander has a beautiful symmetrical face features which is very captivating 😘

When i see people like him it motivates me like crazy to like do everything to not end up beein depressed af

Respect from Romania!

Jeg håper at det skal bli lettere for deg, Alexander. Lykke til og jeg elsker musikk din💯

I may not struggle with the pill, but my younger brothers have and I always had mental struggles. So I both understand and relate in a weird way.

After coming from watching the interview with Miley Cyrus in English to watching this one in Norwegian, it took me awhile to get used to listening to Norwegian again. 😮 Jeg kan snakke litt norsk.👍 I was an exchange student in Norway 40 years ago 😊 But because I’m not used to hearing it, it sounds so fast! Thank goodness for English subtitles. 😊

Aleksandr Rybak very good

Gw nonton sampai habis Padahal gw gak tau bahasa Inggris Gw nonton hanya karena ada Alexander nya😂

Саша!Все будет у тебя хорошо!

He’s going to Chicago? We’ll be sure to welcome you.

very nice. when did this interview take place?

I cant understand what they r talking...but i love himmm

How come there's no new clips?

Why did u put pressure on answering the questions in the end when he obviously didn't want to talk about it

What a strange language. Amazing how he speaks, Norwegian, Russian, English...

quite unrelated, but being that im learning norwegian from duolingo, it sounds different from what i expected but i can genuinely understand some basic words :D

I see no subtitles

U r addicted to pills and we r addicted to u !

✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️

✌️✌️✌️✌️

✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️

Is it me or was the interviewer somewhat politely hostile?

Does he has a girlfriend? I thought they broke up, sorry for questions but i'm Curious

Он ещё и на английском языке свободно разговаривает😱🙀🤯

Жаль,что нет русских субтитров😁😁😁❤

Мой английский просто👎😱😭 может кто-нибудь объяснить подробности. Пожалуйста умоляю!!! В идеале конечно русские субтитры, пусть даже корявый автоперевод.

the jawline can cut me in 2 pieces tbh.. but the language .. can i mute it pls

What a horrible interview...he just cutted off just when Alexander was oppening up about the situation with pills and then tryied to take him to another delicate topic...didn´t like it at all

✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️
