Max von Sydow Age

Max von Sydow was 90 years old.

Family and Education

Carl Adolf von Sydow was born on 10 April 1929 in Lund, Sweden. His father, Carl Wilhelm von Sydow, was an ethnologist and professor of folkloristics at the University of Lund. His mother, Maria Margareta (“Greta”) Rappe, was a schoolteacher. Some of his ancestry is German; his family’s origin is in Pomerania, formerly part of Prussia – much of which was under Swedish rule from 1630 to 1815 – and Sydow is a Prussian family name. The particle von means “of” and usually indicates aristocratic descent. Sydow was brought up as a Lutheran and later became an agnostic.

Von Sydow attended Lund Cathedral School, where he learned English at an early age. At school, he founded an amateur theatrical group along with some of his friends. He served for two years in the Swedish military with the Army Quartermaster Corps, where he adopted the name “Max” from the star performer of a flea circus he saw.

After completing his service, von Sydow studied at the Royal Dramatic Theatre (Dramaten) in Stockholm, where he trained between 1948 and 1951. During his time at the Dramaten, he helped found a theatre group, of which actress Ingrid Thulin was a member. He also made his screen debuts in Alf Sjöberg’s films Only a Mother (Bara en mor, 1949) and Miss Julie (Fröken Julie, 1951).

Career

He was a well-known figure in both European and American cinema, starring in films from Bergman’s masterpiece “The Seventh Seal” to international blockbusters such as “Star Wars: The Force Awakens.”

This led to roles abroad, including Jesus in “The Greatest Story Ever Told” (1965) and Father Lankester Merrin in “The Exorcist” (1973).
He was nominated for Oscars for “Pelle the Conqueror” in 1988 and for “Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close” in 2012.

At almost 2 meters tall, with a slim build and a distinctive, gaunt face, von Sydow was a striking on-screen presence.
Industry figures including Edgar Wright, writer and director of movies such as “Baby Driver” and “Shaun of the Dead,” were effusive in their tributes to the actor.
“Max Von Sydow, such an iconic presence in cinema for seven decades, it seemed like he’d always be with us,” wrote Wright on Twitter.
“He changed the face of international film with Bergman, played Christ, fought the devil, pressed the HOT HAIL button & was Oscar nominated for a silent performance. A god.”

According to CNN.
