Actress speaks out about Filippa Bark hatred – Aftonbladet

Her character parts Swedish people, or at least those who follow the Eurovision Song Contest.

Now talking Sissela Benn out of hatred for Filippa Bark.

– I take for me and makes me sad because there are so many who do not really have liked it, she says in an interview in P4 Extra.

People who like character Filippa Bark think she sweetens the whole Eurovision song contest, those who do not understand her somewhat narrow sense of humor thinks she destroys the program. Sissela Benn , which is the comedian who plays the character, has spoken out in both DN and P4 Extra weekend and said she had not counted on the strong reactions.

– I was surprised. I’ve made the character a long time and it has not been this much negative criticism before. I was not really prepared for it.

Severe humor

When Sissela Benn, 34, played the 14-year-old character Filippa Bark in Melodifestivalen 2007, she received good responses. Then there were not many who understood that the high school girl who was chosen, seemingly at random, the audience was a fictional character. Since then, Filippa Bark starred in “Robin” and had his own TV show “Central School” and appeared like a jack in the box on including Guldbaggegalan. Sissela Benn says to DN that she did not think the character’s humor would be difficult to absorb.

– Some do not like Filippa, fine. Others love her. I do not take it personally. But I can still feel … god, what people are close to hatred? Eight minutes’ involvement in a TV program that can arouse such strong emotions?

A kamikaze mission

She also reveals the P4 Extra that she also been concerned that the jokes should not go home at the performers.

– It is terribly difficult to drive joke before the entire Swedish population that has not been tried before and which you do not know how the artists to respond. It feels like a kamikaze mission, but I must say that the artists have been incredibly generous and kind. I have never felt any hostility, everyone has always played with to make it easier for me.

Can endure hatred

After Saturday’s fourth race love bombed Filippa Bark in social media. At the same time, it was, as usual, many who wished that the character would be removed from the program. Sissela Benn says in the DN that she endured much hatred and certain reactions go over the limit.

What kind of people who become so provoked? Which becomes so angry that someone is different or says something you do not like? Tolerance has become so low that people want it to be eradicated, they write that there may be. It scares me, she says.
