  • Magnus Scheving officially retires from Sportacus Role

    Got this from this page.... https://www.facebook.com/pages/Stefa...37731406323033

    -- Magnus Scheving said, officially, in the Icelandic media this morning that he's no longer going to play Sportacus. He dressed in the Sportacus costume for the last time two days ago.
    They are now looking for a new actor to fill his place.

    The video is obviously in Icelandic. Magnus comes on at 59:00 minutes in.

    It's about time, this man is growing old!

    No seriously. Too bad he's no longer sportacus, for me and lot's of people the one and only. Since we knew for a while that he's leaving the show I think I should be able to handle the fact there's gonna be another one. I hope he sticks around for a while when they make new episodes, and we will see what kind of projects he's going to make now.
    Magnús: - I have fans of all ages and I don't think it's weird when older people like LazyTown. LazyTown appeals to people for many different reasons: dancing, acrobatics, etc.

      Yeah it can't be as easy doing everything he once did including setting up time to do his on screen bits.
      He probably needs twice as many sportscandies for that :)

      I think one of the biggest issues is he knows it's just not the same without Julianna and the chemistry that existed with the entire show.

      The next nail in the coffin is going to be Stefan Karl leaving for good

        Yep, I can't imagine the show surviving well after that at all!

          if Stefan would follow Maggi quitting the show, it will sink in completely averageness and not worth to watch anymore I'm afraid :( (except for Mani's music of course...in case he will stay)

            Even he's struggling I have to say. Except for 3 out of the 11 original songs from season three nothing come close to what he did in Season 1 and part of 2.

              I have a suspicion that some of that was dictated by the network. I wouldn't put it past them to interfere with his creativity.
              Stupid network execs come up with ridiculous demands like "make it more bubbly" or "make it more like Miley" etc.

                  So they finished the LazyTown movie already? In the short video there is a newspaper view with an article which looks like is about the movie, or about LazyTown in the theatre (LazyTown, Kino) but I see another Sportacus.. :?

                    the replacement looks a bit overwight ...finally Magnus got the haircut he should have to wear since season 1...makes him look 10 years younger

                      That was a bad translation of me. A part of the article says: six person team of Lazytown for China
                      so it's not about the movie. It's about the trip to China

                        It's a shame. For me, LazyTown ended with its second season, the third one wasn't really the same show I used to love and I don't think I'll watch the fourth one. Still, I'll support Magnús in everything he does and I'm grateful to him for creating such an amazing project like LazyTown, that marked a time in my life and helped me become a better person :)

                          I´ll be staying strong until Turner fires them all and shuts down the operation. Lazy4Life.

                              "The other Sportacii that will take on the role will be amazing and entertaining, no doubt"...I doubt it :?

                              this one was new to me
