Transcript taken from Star Magazine - Summer 2004

You may know the hot body, but you probably don't know the man behind those famous Calvin Klein briefs.  Well, now you will.  Freddie Ljungberg, a top player for the undefeated English soccer champion team Arsenal, just may be the man to finally make soccer a sexy sport in the U.S.  Failing that, the Swedish sexpot certainly makes for a great billboard!
 
STAR: How's life as a sex god?
FL: It feels good.  I wouldn't say it's an "honor," but it feels nice to think people feel that way.
 
STAR: What was your first reaction to seeing yourself larger than life on a billboard?
FL: It was awkward.  I've always done shoots with clothes on before.  But I got used to it.
 
STAR: Would you ever pose naked?
FL: No.  That would never happen.
 
STAR: What's the story behind your tattoo?
FL: That tattoo in the picture is false.  But I have two black panthers that are twice as big [as this one], which I designed myself.  I think they're beautiful animals.
 
STAR: So, are you dating anyone?
FL: No, no.  I'm quite single.
 
STAR: What do you like in a woman?
FL: I like when they're confident and believe in themselves.  And as long as they're themselves, that's fine.
 
STAR: Do you think reports of David Beckham's recent cheating scandal will hurt his career or help him get more famous?
FL: I know him, and I feel sorry for him.  It got blown out of proportion.  Sometimes that's part of being a soccer star.  He got caught up in it, but he's a strong man.
 
STAR: What's on your iPod right now?
FL: Evanescence.  Linkin Park.
 
STAR: Whuch are better: American or European girls?
FL: I haven't been in the U.S. that much, so I can't say.  But I'll let you know.
