Dolph Lundgren and Emma Krokdal’s Date Night and Charity Event

Dolph Lundgren, the 68-year-old actor known for his role in “Rocky IV,” recently stepped out for a date night in Beverly Hills with his wife, Emma Krokdal. The couple attended the All-Stars for Change charity event, hosted by Arnold Schwarzenegger, at the Novikov Beverly Hills restaurant. Lundgren sported a black suit and white dress shirt, while Krokdal opted for a black chiffon top paired with a satin wrap miniskirt, beige sequinned heels, and a burnt orange clutch.

They had tied the knot in Mykonos, Greece, in July, and looked delighted posing for pictures at the Italian-Mediterranean eatery. The event supported After-School All-Stars, a charity founded by Schwarzenegger in 1992, providing free after-school and summer programs for youth.

Lundgren mixed cocktails at the event, sponsored by Hard Cut Vodka, the vodka brand he co-founded with Krokdal in 2019.

On Instagram, Lundgren thanked Novikov Beverly Hills and Hard Cut Vodka for their support during the fundraiser dedicated to Schwarzenegger’s charity. Lundgren and Schwarzenegger have been long-time friends and workout partners for over 40 years.

In 1985, Lundgren played the formidable Soviet boxer Ivan Drago in “Rocky IV,” with Stallone as both a mentor and trainer during the production. The pair continued their collaboration on “The Expendables” franchise, appearing in multiple films together.

Lundgren addressed the 39-year age gap between him and Krokdal. He emphasized that age isn’t a significant factor and highlighted the importance of enjoying life and relationships. He praised his wife as the best partner despite public criticism.

Krokdal shared similar sentiments in an interview, noting their similar backgrounds and creative synergy. They both met at a gym in West Hollywood in 2019 and bonded over shared interests.

Her unwavering support during Lundgren’s cancer battles, starting in 2015, was life-changing. Despite a difficult prognosis and additional tumors discovered in 2020, Lundgren sought further medical advice and announced he was cancer-free in late 2024.

Through “survivorship therapy,” Lundgren has reached a new understanding and perspective of life, overcoming the challenges posed by his illness.
