Alicia Amanda Vikander Covers Harper's Bazaar UK

Swedish actress and dancer Alicia Amanda Vikander is Harper's Bazaar UK magazine’s cover girl for the January 2016 issue.
During her interview, Alicia discusses her decision to quit ballet dancing at age 18- “I think I knew deep down that I wouldn’t be able to dance until [I was] thirty-something. I still have a really bad back, and… but it wasn’t just that. First of all, I don’t think I wanted to live my life as a dancer. It’s hard, and I realized I really loved to dance and be on stage, but it’s also three, four hours of training every day to do that, to be on that level. I could sometimes be a bit sad, and I was quite hard on myself and jealous emotionally of some of the girls who I saw just loved it.”
