Fredrik Eklund celebrates being 160 days sober

Good for him.

Now, who the fuck is he?

Ex rich porno

Did he give up pills and coke too?

Good thing he insisted on hiring a surrogate and having those twins. What a healthy environment for them.

Wasn't he a porn actor?

Yes he was. Lots of porn too.

Mr Ekkund is a regular on WHET and Do ex porn actors all have drug problem type threads.

More porn:

Who is his husband?

Looks insufferable. Imagine that one on a dry drunk rage.

I had no clue he did porn. Not that I want to see it, but interesting.

His long-winded, self-congratulatory post reminds me of how Jessica Simpson posts these days. Good for them that they're both sober, but it translates as regurgitations of what they've learned in therapy.

Why couldn't Steve Gold have done porn?

It's hard to imagine and frankly embarrassing that a 43 year old man could write such free-good frau shit.

While he had a great porn body, he possesses a rather stumpy dick to ever top in the vids.

Extreme gayface.

Is he still with his much hotter husband?

I guess a long face doesn't equal a long dick.

R15, Neeeeeiiiigh! That’s not a horse of course!

Was he an alchy when he was sucking cock for a living?

Good for him, but I was cracking up when I first heard this news! I'm Facebook friends with an ultra-religious, textbook Karen who apparently watches whatever reality show he's on. Her comment wishing him congratulations on achieving sobriety made his original post show up on my timeline...and I was like, "That's the Swedish guy who did porn before becoming a real estate agent!" I initially thought the comment was made by a gay friend, but nope.

It reminded me of the time a conservative animal lover shared a Facebook post of Brent Everett's (another gay porn star) that had gone viral...something that had to do with his dog.

I never would have guessed a sex worker/real estate agent/reality show star might have a drinking problem.

Is the pic photoshopped? His face looks thinner.

It's hilarious that, in a post about his sobriety and how humble he feels at having been sober for whatever days, he has to remind you that 1. he goes to French Laundry and that 2. he's more fun! 3. business is great!

What a vapid, insufferable asshole.

Someone wants attention!

He worshiped Donald Trump...real estate mogul and all that shit.

One day at a time, I suppose.

Next step: 160 days without being a super-pretentious fag.

Yeah he's an attention whore, but as someone who also found sobriety during the pandemic, it is an amazing feeling. You want to tell people how it makes you feel...it's human.

Sure except he had to go and remind you how rich he is and how great his skin is and how everyone loves him and....

You have to admire him in way - he’s probably the most successful porn actor.

He’s not exactly a Cinderella story...

He came from an affluent family and did porn during a short-lived rebellious streak. After porn, he was able to go back to his affluent life and being friends with the Swedish elite (like Princess Madeleine).

Ugly dick and uglier face. Real estate agents are disgusting.

Why was he kissing the horse in the sunrise?

His post sounds inspiring and I don’t care about his porn past.

But he totally lost me when someone posted he has artificial kids. Ugh I hate that rich white gay stereotype of adopting kids via poor women and then becoming alcoholics to emulate their favorite housewife.

I'm sure he was an alcoholic before the kids, r31!

I wish his hot husband had done porn.

[quote] But he totally lost me when someone posted he has artificial kids. Ugh I hate that rich white gay stereotype of adopting kids via poor women and then becoming alcoholics to emulate their favorite housewife.

It's unfortunate that those children didn't give him contentment. The last thing a test tube baby raised by two dads needs is an alcoholic parent.

What I found bizarre was how he used to go on and on about having a little girl named Milla years before the child was born. I feel sorry for the girl because she'll have to live up to her father's dreams about her,and also for the boy will know that he was never part of his father's dream-child fantasy.

He was always so irritating to watch on that MDL show. Good for him but fuck if I give a shit.

No clue who he is. But someone said he was a porn star? So he was a "high functioning" porn star?

He kissed a horse? Weird.

But he’s right about some people getting defensive about their drinking if you don’t. My SIL got sober decades ago, and she still hangs out with people who have troubled drinking patterns. She said it’s interesting to watch people’s personalities change as they get progressively drunker. Most of the time I stay sober with her and watch it happen. It’s usually ugly.

It’ll be fun to watch him fall off the wagon. It might take weeks or months but it’s bound to happen. He’s lacking humility; it’s always the braggarts who relapse the hardest.

Someone failed to learn the lessons of the Jantelagen.

[quote]Did he give up pills and coke too?

No silly, he means "California Sober".

He's not some kind of fanatic.

[quote]Fredrik Eklund celebrates being 160 days sober

Is this supposed to excuse all of his cuntish behavior?

[quote]Let me tell you a little story...

[quote}We laughed hysterically at dinner. We went deeper into the conversations. And when I kissed the horse in the sunrise...

Tl;dr...

[quote]Fredrik Eklund celebrates being 160 days sober

Is there are program for arrogant cunts?

*kisses horse*

R5 Oh my, and he took it up the ass too

But what about Luis Ortiz? Who is not gay (haha...) and also probably not sober?

[quote] He kissed a horse? Weird.

Don't look at me! I'm faithful to Matthew.

I thought this was the therapist with the same haircut... All instagram stars of a certain age are blurring together!

This is the one:

They never treat me so nicely when I dine at the French Laundry...which is never, because it's insanely expensive and involves travel during a pandemic.

I had been celebrating 160 days of not thinking about Fredrik Eklund. Oh, well.

He sho' is ugly.

I wonder if it’s a better compliment to Mathew Dempsey that he looks 160 days sober or to Fredrik Eklund that he looks like somebody who looks like he gives web therapy involving Oprah....

Bethenny Frankel would drive anyone to drink.

Big Rock

What a cunt.

R28 nailed it!

Yes, fredrick Eklund did porn, but he wasn't some young nobody drug addict or whatever else gets dragged into porn. More to the point you don't go from being a porn actor or even whore to "million dollar" listing RE broker. That world is all about family, personal and business connections. If people on that level weren't comfortable dealing with Mr. Eklund he wouldn't even be a one hundred thousand dollar listing RE person.

Is there anything as tedious as someone, especially a celebrity who thinks he's the first person on Earth to enter recovery?

That speech screams "RELAPSE AHEAD!"

This from about five tedious paragraph in:

[quote]But now to the surprising thing: I’m actually more fun.

Said no one ever who is actually fun at all...

"Fun" is not a synonym for "self-absorbed"

Hah, roommate just said he looks like me.

If he's celebrating, then why the long face??

One thing at a time, to be sure.

But, when will this one stop shooting up social media attention one day at a time?

After those photos you sure know the horse wasn't the bottom before that sunrise kiss.

I give him another 3 months of sobriety before he caves. At the max.

This is the man some surrogate saw fit to produce babies on demand for cash?

He’s got a Herman Munster sized head!

Cash is king R64!

That is an unimpressive member.

Next!

Is he related to Brit?

Boringggggf

Does he know Pippi Longstocking?

Ha! R45

We can call this horror movie about a creepy girl trapped in a grown man’s body, “Kissing the Horse in the Sunrise”

R64 - you just gave me an idea for extra $ making. But women are as crazy as hungry bottoms....had my share of stalkers of both sexes.

I love how he immediately name-drops French Laundry.

His "big rock" has seen better days.

I honestly hope they only used the hot husband's DNA and not Frederick's genus equidae.

Just enough time for the filler to settle.

I hate myself for how hot I think he is because he's such a douchebag.

[quote]I honestly hope they only used the hot husband's DNA and not Frederick's genus equidae.

"Eklund is the brother of author Sigge Eklund and the son of Klas Eklund, who is a senior economist at Swedish bank SEB" - probably not all that stupid. He's 6'5" and relatively handsome, except for the enormous forehead. The kid could probably do worse.

R76 purely in terms of looks, the kid couldn't do worse.

As for the rest - money and an education and connections can get you far.

God, I wish the “ignore thread” function still worked.

Do you think she and the Mrs still have the sexy times? Or is that a dead bed couple. That stupid kick she does when she lists an apartment is really old.

I stopped drinking (or “started my sobriety journey”, as that pretentious twat would put it) but I don’t feel an overwhelming need to blab about it to the whole world.

What a douche.

Fall off the wagon into a grease fire you smug doofus.

So basically, because he can't do all the parties to sell his overpriced real estate listings, he has given up alcohol for....checks my notes...less than 6 months?

Unheard of bravery and discipline.

Now - is he taking any sleep medications, anxiety or stress pills, or doing edibles / reefer?

And, with two toddlers around, isn't it a bit more difficult to manage when you're hungover? Don't most parents limit alcohol once they have kids?

Presumably he has switched to edibles or injections of bear urine.

I’m stuck on the mixologist making a mocktail pairing for a 14-course meal. Sorry, but I call bullshit. Wine is one thing, but a chef isn’t going to let a glorified bartender ruin their food with drinks that have a distinct flavor.

R84 - personally, I wouldn't want 14 different fucked up mocktail concoctions - that would turn anyone's stomach. Wine is one thing but mocktails with each course?

I profoundly dislike this phoney.

Well - given there is nowhere to go and no social functions for the past year, it’s been easy to be sober. Probably being in CA contributed to the whole New Age thing which includes sobriety. A lot of people i know go sober when they move to LA. When you have to drive everywhere and you’re in your home or car all the time, it’s easier to be sober.

To be fair, r83, “de-alcoholized” wine tastes like Donald Trump’s hemorrhoids. (Not that I’ve ever tasted them - my name isn’t Lindsey Graham - but you know what I mean.)

Still, why couldn’t she have stuck to fancy European mineral water? There are plenty of pretentious names to drop there.

R87 but you can't make a CUSTOM MENU of European mineral water mixed drinks that shows his wealth and statute, AND reaffirm his sobriety at the same time!

New season. Did anyone watch yesterday?

BIg. Girl.

Years ago, when I watched MDL, it was pretty obvious Fredrik was on something--he lit up when he was driving and was overly jolly.

His hubby is still dreamy

WHORE!

Wow courageous man at French Laundry with carrots and blackberries and arugula in his drinks.

[quote]R21 hilarious that, in a post about his sobriety and how humble he feels at having been sober for whatever days, he has to remind you that 1. he goes to French Laundry and that 2. he's more fun! 3. business is great! What a vapid, insufferable asshole.

Don’t forget the elegant 14-course dinner.

To be fair, as someone who’s been sober a long time I probably am more fun since I stopped vomiting and passing out all over your house.

NYC realtors in my experience are scum. Now he should shut up about being sober until he has a solid year under his stupid fame whore ass. Husband is cute.

He always drank a lot on MDL.

I made a new thread about MDL NY season 9.

I’m still not clear what real estate agents do that warrant such high fees.

Sure they only make money if they sell, but why penalize the person whose home they are actually selling?

Is MDL NY still on??!!

I’m sure he’s still a fake asshole. A sober one.

"I'm a work in progress, still"

= Still a high-functioning mess.

Just someone else who's never been to me.

His egotism in that post is repulsive.

[quote] To be fair, as someone who’s been sober a long time I probably am more fun since I stopped vomiting and passing out all over your house.

That may well be true, but I hope you don't brag about it while also bragging about a 14-course dinner at French laundry

R100 Yes. Season 9 premiered yesterday.

How long had it been since he wore his own hair?

Sorry to stereotype, but it's a rare porner who doesn't live at the command of addictions, and no friend of Andy Cohen is on the wagon.

New MDL NY thread.

"He's funny lookin', more'n most people even!"

Why do all these fucking people want pats on their backs for every random anniversary in their sobriety? It’s called Alcoholics Anonymous for a reason, keep it anonymous and that way when you fail, as you will inevitably do, you don’t have everyone commenting on your down fall.

Recovered alcoholics can be so insufferable talking about themselves and their journey 24/7. Almost like they feel a need to justify their new boring lives. You think an actor/actress is self-centered? Try holding court for more than five minutes with a recovered alcoholic. And when you mix both ... get ready to feel the obligation to praise.

Yes, it’s an admirable, some might say heroic, achievement. But for the live of everything and anything entertaining, please oh PLEASE keep your journey to yourselves.

"For the live of everything..." Oh dear.

Her jacket at R55 is a couple sizes too small.

oh ok, lol

Say what you want, he's worth about 30 mil

Did he have a facelift?

What the hell has he done to his face? He’s only 44.

He looks like The Grinch. Christmas better watch its ass!

He has always looked Grinchy.

Another 75 days soon!

He looks like a cross between Armie Hammer and the Living Ken Doll guy.

Yeah, it always helps to blab your new sobriety all over the internet as a reality tv personality. What could go wrong!

I'm sure he's reasonably well off, but looks and sounds like your typical dope.

Steve Gold is one hot Jew!

[quote]That stupid kick she does when she lists an apartment is really old.

Fredrik Eklund is the Jeremy Fragrance of realtors.

He looks okay in the pic OP linked but if you do a Google image search on him, you’ll discover that his face is really rather hideous.

Yeah, r122, he should give it at least a year or so. 160 days is nothing.

Before Trump became president, Fredrik worshiped him. I wonder if he still does.

14 course meal with 14 Shirley Temples. That sounds gluttonous.

[quote] Is the pic photoshopped? His face looks thinner.

R20 98% of pics we see here and online are photoshopped.

I'd like to see this well-built, blond stud skewer this skinny guy--

Love that he had to name drop French Laundry.

Frederik Eklund could be the worst human alive today. What a pompous, self-congratulatory asshole. A trash porn “star” realtor. I used to want to dine at French Laundry. But it’s tainted now that I know he’s just so casually let everyone know he’s had dinner there. What a jerk.

I’m counting the days until Frederik ends up in rehab/psych ward along the lines of Armie Hammer. Maybe they can be roomies. ❤️

[quote] "...apparently he had a drinking problem..."

I never would have guessed, judging by his face!

*Yeeeeikes*

His face is full of fillers and Botoxed. I doubt he has had a facelift (maybe mid-?) yet.

But nowadays, not many people on camera who have money resist the lasers and the needles at the very least.

Andy Cohen once chastised a woman from Below Deck on air for using fillers. He cut her off mid-sentence with "What did you do to your face!" She was thrown and dismissed it with a pithy comment and he wouldn't let it go. He told her (on air!) that fillers don't look good and they age a person and she needs to stop. I remember the moment because it was the moment I realized what a monster he must be off camera. And even despite that, Cohen obviously has been puffed up with something over the past year. He aged quickly and his face was looking gaunt and haggard last year and now his cheeks have been filled up a bit to smooth things out. He definitely has avoided the Botox though.

Eklund is vain and a narcissist. He showed off his body in porn, he went to reality TV like a heat seeking missile, he works in real estate, which is a magnet for showoffs and exhibitionists with sociopathic charm. Of course he's going to cosmetically alter his face as he ages.
