After celebrating his 34th birthday with a naked photo shoot last March, Fil-Norwegian actor Markki Stroem said doing his “Adam in Paradise” pictorial was not the biggest deal for him or his family.“Nudity isn’t really a problem in my family. When I was seven years old, I distinctly remember being on a speed boat in Norway, and asking my dad why all the girls were topless. It turns out, they were just getting an even tan. It is so normal over there, that nudity on TV is considered PG13 or G rated. Guns and violence are considered Rated R. Sex Education is also very important for people over there, we understand the complexities of youth pregnancies and Sexually Transmitted diseases. Now, let us look at the cases of unplanned pregnancy, HIV prevalence and gun violence in the Philippines compared to Norway,” he explained in an exclusive interview with PUSH <a href='https://push.abs-cbn.com/2020/7/7/fresh-scoops/markki-stroem-bibida-sa-isang-bl-story-ni-adolf-a-27910'>READ: </a><a href='https://push.abs-cbn.com/2020/7/7/fresh-scoops/markki-stroem-bibida-sa-isang-bl-story-ni-adolf-a-27910'>Markki Stroem, bibida sa isang BL story ni Adolf Alix Jr</a>
