Ovind Blank, 72, was supposed to please the audience with both “Cirque Blanc” and “Christmas Show 2023” this year, but he was forced to register his passport after the shocking notice he received at the beginning of the year.
– It’s been a tough year for me. During a routine examination, a tumor was discovered. It was surgically removed, and I am currently cancer-free. But I have to take post-treatment therapy, and that will take time to move forward, Plank tells Se og Hør.
To be late: – I’m so sorry
live normally
– I’m home and living a normal life, but the stress of winter travels and new cities every day doesn’t sound like a good idea to doctors. And I also do not recognize that famous actor who now wants to return to the stage.
Now Blanc is looking forward to next year and the continuation of his own show, Cirque Blanc, which also marks its 50th anniversary.

– The song has reached full theaters and will be shown at Chat Noir in April, Blank says anxiously.

Meanwhile, he makes no secret that he finds it extremely boring to have to opt out of “Christmas Show 2023,” which premieres in November.
– But my good friend, Nils Vogt (75 years old), will step in, and I’m sure it will be great! Oyvind Blank confirms with a smile.

Nice challenge
The experienced and equally popular actor – immortalized, among other things, by TV classics Brave in the Chest and Carl & Company – enters the action with joy mixed with horror.
– took it one step further
– It’s not a joke. Oyvind is not an easy man to take charge of. He’s an outstanding comedian, at a high level, so it’s challenging, but fun. Ovind himself wanted me to take over. Then I would gladly do so, says Nils Vogt to Se og Hør.
Close friends: Nils Vogt is now taking over the baton from his companion, who has cancer. He and Ovind Blank have been close friends since they performed in a Russian revue together in 1968.

They have known each other for 55 years. The first meeting took place in connection with a Russian play in 1968, created by the later “Mot i brøset” authors Tore Rein and Harald Tosberg.
– We were chosen together, although neither of us were drunk that year. They wanted to be together anyway, and fortunately we said yes, because that’s how we got to know each other, says Niels Vogt.

Getting close to people
Since then, the hardworking theater artists have followed each other closely throughout their lives – even when things have been a bit against the grain. Vogt was in close contact with Planck throughout his illness.
– You have risen from the dead
– Yes, I would say that. keep me informed. We have coffee together. And if he’s in good shape, we’ll have a full lunch. Everyone expresses their admiration for Øivind and think this will go well. He himself is an optimist. The prognosis is good, so I’m sure he’ll be back on stage. But it will be a little early this year, Vogt points out.

He’s full of praise for Blanc – both as an actor and as a friend.
Ovind is a natural talent, she always has been. He was always a funny man and full of generosity. Introduces himself. He loves to perform and make people laugh and enjoy themselves. He is good at it and has been so all his life, and praises a friend and classmate of Plunk, who is three years his senior.
There is no new “fridjouf”.
He himself wants to move away from Blunck’s beloved “Fridtjof” character and his powerful “O Sole Mio” performance. Only one man can do this.
About the disease: – A massive disorder
– But it is possible to come up with other things. Oywind and I have played together on different occasions. This time, it’s a little special for me to take charge. Vogt insists he might be very interested in continuing to perform despite being currently on the sidelines.
The show must go on: Niels Vogt appears on the poster, after Ovind had to capitulate this time.

With partners like Tor Endresen, Reidun Sæther, Trond Nagell-Dahl and magician Erling Solland on stage, Nils Vogt is looking forward to November and December.
– We’ll be a very nice team on stage. I like to travel around our country, so there’s a lot to do to have a nice and merry time before Christmas, says Niels Vogt.
Strong back
Niklas Kokin-Thorsen is the producer of both Christmas Show 2023 and Circus Blunck. And he does not hide that the decision to surrender was difficult for Ovind Blanc.
She saved her husband’s life
– The most important thing for us is that Plank returns fully, then he must take the necessary time. Øivind is one of the strongest stars of Norwegian entertainment and he will surely come back with a hundred percent strength. I know this has been a difficult decision for Blank, but like him, I am also very happy that all-Norwegian Niels Vogt has agreed to take part in the ‘Christmas Show 2023’. “I am really looking forward to seeing Øivind on stage again in April 2024 at Chat Noir,” Kokkinn-Thoresen says in a comment.
“Plunk Circus” and “Christmas Show 2023” are produced by Se og Hør, which is owned by Aller Media.
