Reykjavík’s new mayor, Jón Gnarr, has said that he has not given up his acting career despite becoming mayor. The mayor answered questions from listeners in a brief radio interview. One listener asked Jón whether he promised to not stop acting, to which he promptly replied that he would never give up the profession—all he needs is an offer from somebody.

It has emerged recently that Jón has offered to play a role in the famous New Year’s comedy show, broadcast by state broadcaster RÚV. Before his rise to prominence in politics, Jón Gnarr was best known for his role as Georg Bjarnfreðarson in the Vaktir shows, and most recently the feature film Bjarnfreðarson which draws a close to the series. Bjarnfreðarson was recently released on DVD.
