If you’ve seen Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga, there’s one character that stands out above all others: Olaf Yohansson, better known as the Jaja Ding Dong Guy. Played by Icelandic actor Hannes Óli Ágústsson, this surly resident of a small fishing village has but one goal in life: to hear the song “Jaja Ding Dong,” over and over again. Sadly the members of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences determined that they’d rather hear Eurovision’s “Húsavík,” which was nominated for a Best Original Song Oscar, while “Jaja Ding Dong” was cruelly stricken from the short list. We thought it might be a tender moment for the actor now known far and wide as the Jaja Ding Dong Guy, so we got in touch to see how he’s doing on this momentous but bittersweet day.
