Actor Dolph Lundgren and his wife, Emma Krokdal, recently attended Arnold Schwarzenegger's All-Stars for Change charity event in Beverly Hills. The event, held at Novikov Beverly Hills, benefited the After-School All-Stars foundation, a nonprofit established by Schwarzenegger in 1992 that offers free after-school and summer programs for youth.
Lundgren, 68, and Krokdal, 30, posed for photos at the event. Lundgren wore a black suit with a white dress shirt and gray sneakers, while Krokdal sported a black one-shoulder chiffon top paired with a black asymmetrical satin wrap miniskirt and beige sequinned heels. The couple, who married in July 2023, appeared smiling for photographers.
During the fundraiser, Lundgren also stepped behind the bar to mix cocktails for attendees using his vodka brand, Hard Cut Vodka. Lundgren and Krokdal co-founded Hard Cut, which officially launched in March 2025.
Lundgren shared a photo from the event on Instagram, thanking Novikov Beverly Hills and Hard Cut Vodka for their support of Schwarzenegger's charity. He noted his long-standing friendship with Schwarzenegger, which has spanned over 40 years and included co-starring in the "Rocky IV" and "The Expendables" franchises.
In past interviews, Lundgren has addressed the 39-year age gap between him and Krokdal, stating that age is merely a number and that the most important aspect is enjoying life and one's chosen partner. Krokdal has also spoken about their connection, citing shared backgrounds and creative pursuits as contributing factors to their relationship. The couple first met at a gym in West Hollywood in 2019.
Lundgren also credited Krokdal with helping him through his cancer journey. He was first diagnosed with cancer in 2015, and after further diagnoses in 2020, he announced in November 2024 that he was cancer-free. He described the experience as life-changing and mentioned undergoing survivorship therapy to adjust to a new outlook on life.
