The awe weathered.ĭuring the collaboration video, “Apetor” left a comment. – For me, it was a real honor to meet him. But he was just a kind, cool and ordinary Norwegian man, Lihaug recalls. The reason why Tor asked is not because it was YouTube, it was because NRK made contact. I have never been so excited on the way to a recording on NRK ever. – It was incredibly exciting when we were to meet. When the two Youtube profiles at the end of 2019 were with great awe, he continues. He did not care what others thought, says Lihaug. Not a hint of complacency, just a really cool, funny and unique guy. Photo: Screenshot from the YouTube channel for NRK 4ETG. It is not an unfamiliar activity for the latter. Jonas Lihaug and Tor “Apetor” Eckhoff met to take an ice bath. – At the same time, he had no perspective on why he had so many followers, he just did his thing and was extremely humble. The distinctive features are among the reasons why Lihaug thinks he managed to get a large audience in Russia, Eastern Europe and not least the United States. When he first opened his mouth, it was to make a kind of beep, Lihaug says. – He almost never spoke, so he got a large international audience. All in all, it was a pretty absurd humor. At the same time he made strange noises and drank vodka. He says that “Apetor” was best known for his videos on the ice and in the water. But people were very fond of him, says Lihaug. – He was a kind of figure on the platform, and when I made a video with him, no one had made a video with him before. Lihaug tells VG that the 57-year-old was his favorite youtuber.
