Emma Wiklund

Emma Wiklund is a reinvention story I find genuinely cool. The Swedish model graced multiple Elle covers and appeared in George Michael's 1992 Too Funky video before pivoting to acting, most memorably as police officer Petra across four Taxi films. Sliding from modeling into screen work sounds simple but uses completely different muscles, and most don't make the leap stick. I like that she refused to stay in one lane and kept moving into acting and presenting. There's a cool, composed Scandinavian steel about her path, and the willingness to keep changing shape is the part I respect.
