Lazy Town's Favorite Hero: Sportacus!
Sportacus
is a pretty cool
action hero to inspire little kids. Sure he talks about the
importance of fair play, good nutrition, early bedtimes, and plenty of
exercise, but he also models them! And what's
more, he always looks like he's having a great time!
Sportacus is
played by Magnus Scheving, a silver medalist in the World
Championships in aerobics and two-time European Champion in
aerobics. He's not only the star, writer and director of
show, he's also the CEO, creator and co-founder of LazyTown
