First Meeting with Mathias Boe

Recalling her first meeting with Mathias Boe, Taapsee said, “I met Mathias for the first time after he returned from winning a medal at the 2012 Olympics. When he participated in the next Olympics as an athlete, I didn’t want to go because watching him play made me very anxious.”
