On one sunny sunrise swim back in 2019, all the way from Australia to our lovely little island, we met the handsome Sam Corlett, the star of the latest Viking’s series Valhalla.
We approached this Viking-like being (he stood out from the rest of us Irish that’s for sure!) chatted and encouraged him to come join us for a swim again the next day, little did we know a pandemic would soon hit and this foreign man would enter our family circle and become more like a brother to us all.
Fast forward 3 years and now Sam has hit the big screens, an international superstar, the lead of his own Netflix's show and in many ways only at the beginning of his journey. We decided it was time to sit down the three of us and discuss it all, life, wisdom, his journey, how we met, what’s next and what makes his soul truly vibrate.
It’s so special to be able to share someones story who you are so close with, a beautiful conversation, we hope you enjoy it as much as we did.
Lots of Love, Dave & Steve
