Biography of Lasse Matberg
Lasse Matberg is a Norwegian military serviceman who has gained fame on Instagram. The 30-year-old Matberg, who previously endured teasing due to his Bugs Bunny-like teeth, has amassed over 500,000 followers on social media. With his light golden hair, thick beard, and attractive muscular figure, Matberg has posted a series of photos on Instagram where he is seen chopping wood and cuddling fluffy dogs. These pictures quickly went viral and helped him gather 250,000 followers in just five days. Despite his newfound popularity, Matberg still considers himself an ordinary Viking from a small town in central Norway.
A Difficult Childhood
Matberg decided to share his unique story, acknowledging that he was a "ugly duckling" during his teenage years, as he was teased for his crooked teeth. Bullies gave him the nickname "Bugs Bunny." Matberg recalls being a healthy teenager and even captaining the football team, but his popularity suffered due to his "horrible teeth." He was often ridiculed and excluded by his peers. Even now, Matberg's friends jokingly call him "Gorg," a reference to the giant, hairy creatures from the children's show "Fraggle Rock." Nevertheless, Matberg has gained confidence and now embraces self-deprecating humor to alleviate tension. He jokes about resembling Chewbacca when his long hair blows in the wind and hits his face.
A Love Story
Matberg's first serious relationship was with a girl who had fiery red hair and blue eyes. They spoke about their future together, had matching rings, and even had a mock wedding while intoxicated. Their relationship lasted for four years. After two years of being single, Matberg fell for a "slender brunette who was half British, half Norwegian." This new romance also lasted four years. His most recent passion was a 26-year-old blonde with blue hair and a typical Swedish appearance. However, Matberg claims to prefer women with dark hair, dark eyes, and curvy figures.
Overcoming Challenges
Matberg's passion for growing his beard and hair began when he joined the military. During this time, he developed an interest in posing for the camera and taking pictures. However, Matberg faced difficulties in fully expressing himself, not only because of his past insecurities but also due to the environment in which he was raised. He was taught not to show off or claim superiority over others. Growing up, he often felt uncomfortable with his tall stature and tried to remain inconspicuous. Eventually, Matberg realized he had the right to embrace his height and stopped hiding his presence.
Personal Interests
Apart from being a military serviceman and Instagram star, Matberg is a professional chef. He enjoys creating culinary masterpieces when given the ingredients. Standing at 197 cm tall and weighing 120 kg, Matberg's favorite drink is beer, and he admits to falling asleep while watching movies. He excels at making homemade Norwegian pizza and is not afraid to use hair masks. In 2015, Matberg was crowned "Norwegian Beard of the Year." He has a poster of Salma Hayek from the movie "From Dusk Till Dawn" hanging in his apartment. Matberg's advice to those seeking success in casual conversations is to smile, be polite, and be yourself.
