In 2013, he premiered the series for which he is recognized worldwide, Vikings . In this bloody and violent story, he plays the warrior Ragnar Lothbrok, a legendary character who has given him very good results and who fits perfectly with him. The handsome young man’s face without a beard and long hair has changed to that of a dirty-looking warrior with a crest, tattoos, and an axe. Currently he is filming the fourth season and it is one of the reference series. It is produced by the History channel and many experts affirm that it is faithful to the reality that the real Ragnar lived.
