Norwegian Filmmaker's Controversial Teen Relationship Essay

0:00It's March 27th. Welcome to Entertainment and Celebrity News today, powered by AI in Pack With Headlines. A Norwegian filmmaker named Kristoffer Borgley is facing backlash over personal essay he wrote more than a decade ago. The 40-year-old director, known for the upcoming movie, The Drama Starring Zendaya and Robert Pattinson, as well as last year's dream scenario, with Nicholas Cage, described a romantic relationship he had as an adult with a teenage girl. The essay first appeared in a Norwegian magazine back in 2012, when Borgley was 27. It resurfaced this week after someone posted a scan on Reddit, sparking widespread attention online. People have mixed reactions, with many pointing out the social discomfort around such age gap relationships, even if they are legal. In Norway, the age of consent is 16, but these pairings still stir debate there. Borgley praised the girl's mature taste and culture, and shared stories like hanging out at bars that skipped ID checks and one slipping out of her.
