"And I have the honor of being here to talk about a movie that’s in motion about my life. A movie that’s actually going to be a musical So again , music, music. Music has always meant a lot to me and for all of us in this world. The way it connects the dots. I’ve always loved to dance, so there’s going to be a lot of great choreography in the movie and it has a funny twist because it doesn’t start with me, but actually with two Broadway producers in New York. Husband and wife whose career is not going as well as it used to and then they have suddenly heard about me, in the Danish countryside, me Ole Henriksen, the Danish legend and they have an idea of how they possibly would work with me. But he also has a gay phobia and me being a gay boy, I mean he couldn’t quite, you know, tolerate that. But what I am known for is, of course, a man that brings out the positive in people, (unclear) motion picture, ‘The Glowing Man’ and as we know, you and I glow here together. The inner glow and a love affair with life and I’ve always had a positive attitude. For me, it’s never been about what I have or don’t have, it’s my love affair of people and I’ve really learned all the years of work and all the famous people, how we are all equal, we have all the same dreams and desires. As I mentioned David Bowie, an icon of mine. He would sing for me in the treatment room. Diana Ross, again, the Supremes and that era, the loveliest most fabulous woman. Kylie Minogue, Madonna – whoever they are but we’re all human beings. All we want is lots of love and lots of fun."

"Good skin care? Drink lots of water, In between the drink make sure you do stretching exercises because I mean that too, it’s sort of again a meditation for the body when you stretch the body, close your eyes, step into the moment. And when you work on your skin, relax into the moment, feel the energy of your hands and so that is very helpful. I do a lot of stretching. I do – I learned from Sylvester Stallone, men to do push ups, so I do 300 pushups this very day. 50 at a time – at age 74. I do rings and pull bars. So I’ve been doing the pushups in my hotel room here. And girls don’t have to push up. Girls just have to (mimes twerking), Sly said, that’s all a girl has to worry about – a tight butt and us guys have to have big biceps."

STORYLINE:
On the side lines of the Cannes Film Festival, there is a thriving marketplace where film projects are pitched, launched and sold.
Among this year’s announcements was a biopic on the life of legendary Danish skincare icon Ole Henriksen.
“The Glowing Man” is set to be a musical tracing the rise of Henriksen from small town dreamer to Hollywood guru.
“Music has always meant a lot to me and for all of us in this world. The way it connects the dots. I’ve always loved to dance, so there’s going to be a lot of great choreography in the movie," he said.
The 74-year-old, who said he is known for bringing out the positivity in people, has a client list that reads like a celebrity who’s who.
The film will be produced by No Fat Ego Productions, set up by “Ferrari” and “Killers of the Flower Moon” producer Niels Juul.
