My Story
I first started, playing and acting like Sportacus in 2017 at the age of 17 years old. The story began when I was scrolling down on social media. Then I saw a old news article, back in 2014 someone shared this old article on social media! in 2017 about Magnús has retried from doing Sportacus and LazyTown, I was very devastated at the time. I’m doing Sportacus to make Magnús happy and proud. I am a very fit and strong lad “Magnús Scheving” inspired me to do it, by motivating people to live better healthy lives and educating kids parents adults and people about healthy lifestyle. I kind of like came forward and said to myself I will do Sportacus in the UK. That’s where I’m from to do it for the LazyTown fans, the LazyTown community, also Sportacus fans and die hard fans of LazyTown.
My Project
I'm working on a project, which I created called L.T Action, it's basically a new LazyTown remake series which I decided to create my own LazyTown series. When I came up with L.T Action it is still LazyTown, but with a different name and logo L.T Action mean's "LazyTown Action" and it's also a YouTube channel: with a lot of new things! which I am being creative with the crew. The studio were we film L.T Action is at The Civic Arts Centre & Theatre in Oswaldtwistle, Lancashire, we go to the studio often on Saturday to film the new series for our new LazyTown entertainment. I'm doing it in my own unique way to continue mine and our amazing production on this project. We have worked very hard on this project to keep LazyTown's legacy alive and not to let LazyTown die... we are doing it for "Magnus Scheving the original creator and Sportacus of LazyTown" to help bring back LazyTown for the fans... and helping people specially kids about motivation, healthy lifestyle, health, inspiration also to bring happiness.
Transforming into Sportacus...
When I do shows, meet and greets, etc I always like to transform myself into the athletic superhero Sportacus with makeup. But I like to be creative when I transform into the character! so what I decided is I like to create a new look to Sportacus with contouring, foundation, BB cream, blush, highlighter and bronzer and I slowly transform it into a art it take's an hour to transform myself into Sportacus I like to bring. The original look and my new creative look together to show what I created to my own portrayal as Sportacus.
