Speaking with “Jake’s Takes,” most of the cast of “Vikings: Valhalla” seem pretty humbled by the idea of being suddenly dropped into the Middle Ages. “I wouldn’t have lasted a day,” said Jóhannes Haukur Jóhannesson, who plays Olaf Haraldson. Jóhannesson hails from Iceland, one of the countries most shaped by the Viking Age, and he is by no means a small man. So for him to say that says quite a bit.
Sam Corlett thinks he might have had a chance, but he qualifies his response by saying he would have survived only if he had found a decidedly non-warrior occupation. “Just going straight from where I am now, I wouldn’t have survived long. Unless I kind of found a nook or a cranny being a blacksmith or something. Or a farmer or something.” It seems that Corlett believes he would have a longer life relying on the dialogue rather than the action.

Bradley Freegard, meanwhile, is absolutely unequivocal. “No, I don’t think anyone would last more than a day or two, to be honest.” Freegard elaborated that, being socialized as actors in the 21st century, any kind of assuredness in surviving as a Viking warrior would be precisely what did them in.
So there we have it. Or do we? So far, we’ve only heard from the men. What do the women of “Vikings: Valhalla” have to say?
