Dolph Lundgren and his wife, Emma Krokdal, enjoyed a night out in Beverly Hills, California. The 68-year-old actor, known for his role in ‘Rocky,’ attended Arnold Schwarzenegger’s charity event, All-Stars for Change, at Novikov Beverly Hills on Friday.
Lundgren looked dapper in a black suit and gray sneakers. Krokdal complimented his style with a black one-shoulder chiffon top and a satin wrap miniskirt. She accessorized with beige sequinned heels and a satin clutch.
The couple, who married in July 2023 in Mykonos, Greece, posed for photos at the upscale restaurant. The fundraiser supported After-School All-Stars, a nonprofit providing free programs for youth, founded by Schwarzenegger in 1992.
Lundgren expressed gratitude, saying, “A big thank you to Novikov Beverly Hills and Hard Cut Vodka for a fantastic event supporting my good friend Arnold Schwarzenegger’s charity, After-School All-Stars.”
At the event, Lundgren mixed cocktails, showcasing his vodka brand, Hard Cut Vodka, which he and Krokdal co-founded in 2019. The brand officially launched in March 2025.
Lundgren and Schwarzenegger share a friendship that spans over 40 years. They initially connected during the filming of ‘Rocky IV,’ where Stallone played a pivotal role as Lundgren’s mentor.
While discussing his relationship with Stallone, Lundgren stated, “He was my boss. I did what he told me to.” Their professional bond evolved into a friendship, evident from their work in ‘The Expendables’ franchise.
Lundgren addressed criticism regarding his and Krokdal’s age gap, emphasizing the importance of happiness with one’s partner. “Age is just a number. Enjoy your life, enjoy your partner,” he noted.
Krokdal echoed these sentiments in an interview, highlighting their similar backgrounds and mutual support. The couple met at a West Hollywood gym in 2019 and share a strong connection.
Lundgren faced a battle with cancer after his diagnosis in 2015. Although the tumor was removed, new tumors were discovered in 2020. After receiving a second opinion, he was declared cancer-free in November 2024.
Reflecting on the experience, Lundgren advised seeking therapy after such life changes to adjust to a ‘new baseline’ and positively alter one’s perspective on life.
