She has played Lagertha in Amazon Prime hit Vikings since it premiered in 2013.
And actress Katheryn Winnick looked just as sensational off screen, as she posed for a stunning shoot with digital New York based magazine Photobook. During the accompanying interview, the 44-year-old star admitted she would love a role in the spin-off series Vikings: Valhalla. Katheryn looked amazing in a black cut-out dress, which highlighted her ample assets as she lounged across the floor during the sizzling shoot.
The TV star recently stepped behind the camera to direct an episode called Valhalla Can Wait for the Amazon Prime hit. Katheryn revealed she was ‘honoured’ to get behind the lens and switch her part in front of the camera for a creative behind the scenes role. Talking to the online publication, Katheryn admitted she felt the role was ‘meant’ for her.
She said: I always felt Lagertha was meant for me. With my martial arts background playing a shield maiden came second nature to me. ‘The love I have to represent empowered female characters has been such a driving force for me in the roles I choose. I always knew I wanted to have a way to express my voice.’ She added: ‘My dream is to continue to wake up every day and get excited to go to work. I’m so fortunate to be doing it! When work doesn’t feel like work it doesn’t get much better than that.’
During a 2017 interview, Katheryn admitted she shares a close bond with co-star Alexander Ludwig, who plays her son Bjorn. In the revealing chat, said she relished the friendship, explaining that it makes her job easier. Gushing over her co-star, Katheryn told the publication: ‘Alex and I are very close friends. We hang out together, go for dinner, drinks.’
She added that it hasn’t always been the case that she’s gotten along so well with her co-workers, which has been problematic in the past. ‘We have a strong bond, which really helps when you’re acting. I’ve done shows in the past when I’ve had no rapport with co-stars and it’s difficult,’ she explained.
