– He has become very fond of me and sends me quite a few pictures. When he got the tattoo I was completely shocked. I didn’t think so, but I think it’s very funny, she says to VG.
It was German Bild who first wrote about “Gazza’s” tribute to the Norwegian model. See and listen has also mentioned it in Norway.
– I feel lucky to have known him. And because I got the chance to see the true version of him, and not the demonized version, she says to the German newspaper.
– The case has given me a lot of attention and job opportunities in Germany, so it’s very cool. I’m ecstatic that things are rolling. On top of it all, today I got my 8th cover in Playboy in the “Playboy of the year” competition, says Olufsen to VG.

Paul Gascoigne is considered one of England’s most talented footballers of all time.
However, his life has also been marked by alcohol, drugs and scandals.
The film will be about the life of “Gazza” in the late 80s and early 90s.
The film “30 Years of Hurt” was put on hold as a result of the pandemic.
Amalie Olufsen got the role of Sheryl (60), who was married to the football legend from 1996 to 1998.
– He said that I reminded him so much of his ex-wife that it was almost scary. And that the only possible mistake in the casting process was that I ended up looking even better than she did when they were married, she says to Bild.
– It’s a nice compliment, because Sheryl looked amazing at the time. She was so great that I can’t actually agree with “Gazza”.

At the same time, Olufsen denies that there is anything more than friendship between them, although she laughingly admits that “it would make a good story and headline”.
– No, we neither have nor have had an affair. But the woman who ends up with “Gazza” can consider herself lucky, she tells Bild.
