Dolph Lundgren and Emma Krokdal Enjoy Beverly Hills Charity Event

Dolph Lundgren and his wife Emma Krokdal recently enjoyed a night out in Beverly Hills, California. The couple attended Arnold Schwarzenegger’s All-Stars for Change charity event, which took place at Novikov Beverly Hills. The 68-year-old star of ‘Rocky’ was seen smiling alongside Krokdal, who is 30 years old.

Lundgren was dressed in a black suit, white dress shirt, and gray sneakers, while Krokdal wore a stylish black one-shoulder chiffon top with a black asymmetrical satin wrap skirt. She accessorized her outfit with beige sequinned peep-toe heels and a burnt orange satin clutch. The couple married in July 2023 at their villa in Mykonos, Greece.

The All-Stars for Change event supports After-School All-Stars, a national nonprofit started by Schwarzenegger in 1992. The organization provides free after-school and summer programs for youth.

Lundgren took part in the event by mixing cocktails for guests, showcasing his vodka brand, Hard Cut Vodka. This brand, co-founded with Krokdal, began in 2019 and was officially launched in March 2025. On Instagram, Lundgren expressed gratitude to Novikov Beverly Hills and Hard Cut Vodka for supporting his friend’s charity.

Lundgren and Schwarzenegger have maintained a long-standing friendship, spanning over 40 years. Their connection began when Sylvester Stallone cast Lundgren as the Soviet boxer Ivan Drago in 1985’s ‘Rocky IV.’

In an interview with Fox News Digital, Lundgren reflected on his working relationship with Stallone during the filming of ‘Rocky IV.’ He described Stallone as his mentor, saying they developed a friendship over time while appreciating each other’s challenges.

The actors co-starred in ‘The Expendables’ franchise: ‘The Expendables,’ ‘The Expendables 2,’ and ‘The Expendables 3,’ released between 2010 and 2014. Lundgren also discussed his relationship with Krokdal, addressing the 39-year age gap and emphasizing the importance of choosing the right partner.

Lundgren and Krokdal share similar backgrounds, which they discovered early in their relationship. Both come from Scandinavian countries—Lundgren from Sweden and Krokdal from Norway—and met at a gym in West Hollywood in 2019.

Lundgren faced a significant health challenge when diagnosed with cancer in 2015. While his initial tumor was removed, he was diagnosed with new tumors in 2020. Despite a concerning prognosis, he sought a second opinion and was declared free of cancer in November 2024.

He credits Krokdal for her support during this period, calling it a life-changing experience. Lundgren mentioned undergoing ‘survivorship therapy’ to adjust to his new outlook on life.
