Annerud told the Swedish news site nyheter24.set that it is “fun” to be told he resembles someone as “handsome” as DiCaprio.

However, his physical appearance does have some downsides.

“When I was in Italy this summer, I almost felt like shaving my hair off. It was very chaotic; people were yelling 'Leo' and wanted to take photos with me all the time. It was one of the craziest things I’ve ever experienced.”
