Who Is His Celebrity Mother?
Born Gitte Nielsen in 1963, Brigitte is a Danish actress, model, and singer. She was born in Rodovre, Denmark, as the daughter of Hanne Nielsen and Svend Nielsen. Her mother Hanne worked as a librarian, while her father was an engineer. Some of her biggest movies include Red Sonja and Rocky IV.
In the 1980s, Brigitte began her modeling career. At the time, she was standing at 6 feet tall, giving her an ideal body for modeling. Photographed by Greg Gorman and Helmut Newton, she has posed for Playboy magazine several times.
Fun fact: she is also part of the Marvel family. In the late 1980s, Marvel Comics approached to pose for photographs dressed as the character She-Hulk.
Thanks to her popularity as a model, Brigitte began an acting career as well. She got her start in the fantasy film Red Sonja alongside Arnold Schwarzenegger. That was in 1985, and in the same year, she got married to Sylvester Stallone. The couple acted together in Cobra and Rocky IV before getting a divorce in 1987.
She would then go on to portray Karla Fry in the movie Beverly Hills Cop II in 1987 alongside Eddie Murphy. In 1991, fresh off her Marvel comics photo session, she was cast as Jennifer Walters/She-Hulk in the She-Hulk movie. But the movie was never produced.
In 1987, she also began her music career, releasing her debut album Every Body Tells a Story. She recorded a duet with Austrian pop star Fanco. She released a couple of songs under her pseudonym Gitta. Producers wanted to see if she could succeed as a singer without her celebrity name on the cover. Fun fact: She appeared in the music video for Liberian Girl by Michael Jackson in 1989.
In May 2008, she revealed she would renew her body by having six plastic surgeries, costing close to $100,000 at the time. She was filmed during those surgeries by RTL and had her own television show. It was broadcast twice in Italy.
