Early life

Career

Bodybuilding

Kold started competing in 1997.[2] He won the Danish National Bodybuilding Championship in 2006.

Acting

Kold was persuaded by his friend, film director Mads Matthiesen, to play the title role in Matthiesen's short film Dennis (2007). The film was not promoted, but soon became popular and made Kold a name as an actor. He reprised the role of Dennis when Matthiesen made Teddy Bear (2012), a feature-length adaptation of Dennis.[3] He appeared in Fast & Furious 6 (2013), as well as Polish short film Smok (2015), based on the legend of Wawel Dragon. In 2016 he appeared the film Star Trek Beyond as well as the film 6 Underground in 2019.
