Per will leave for the US promotional tour in better shape than ever. He actually dropped his weight 10 kilos in a rather short time. "It was the slipped disc that forced me to change my lifestyle and start training," he says in Aftonbladet. Now goes jogging and works out in a gym. He didn't need a strict diet to lose weight. "You don't need one when you train," Per says.

Per speaks about how easy it is to become lazy when one gets older. Now, however, he thinks he's in a good shape. "I will be Sweden's answer to Warren Beatty," he says laughing.
