Career

[edit]

Jansson was born in Hofors and grew up in Storvik, Sweden.[4] During his youth he enjoyed skiing, orientation and terrain running.[5] He moved to Uppsala in the 1980s, and studied theology and Swedish at Uppsala University. He later worked as a teacher and lecturer.[6]

He became leader of The Naturist Society in Rullsand in 1992.[7]

Between 2003 and 2004, Jansson participated in two seasons of the reality series The Farm, becoming known as an outspoken naturist who walked around nude during most episodes.[1] Both series were broadcast on TV4. In 2003, he appeared nude in the music video for singer Markoolio's song "Vilse i skogen" (English: "Lost in the woods"), as the water spirit Neck from Swedish folktales.[8] In 2005 Jansson participated in another reality series called Club Goa on TV3 with many other former participants from different reality series; the show was filmed in Goa, India.[9]

Jansson released a book Den Nakna Sanningen (English: The Naked Truth) in 2005. He also released a music single, a cover of the song "Leende guldbruna ögon".[10]

Today, Jansson works as an insurance trainer and educator for new insurance intermediary classes.[11]
