Early life

At the age of nine, he enrolled in a singing school in Copenhagen, joining a choir and travelling the world.[6] In the summer of 2012, Tønnesen's father sent a recording of him singing to an audition, which landed the boy the leading role in a theatre play called Cirkus Summarum. Following this, Tønnesen expressed a deep interest in acting.[6][7]
