"Winding Refn is Jewish"

This assertion is derived from a mumbled statement by the director when he was answering a question from an unnoted softball interviewer. He was deflecting accusations of antisemtism and his remark "I am Jewish" was never followed up by the interviewer. I do not find a source that says Refn has ever again publicly expressed his supposed Judaism. If someone wants to add this statement back into the article it should be supported with a second, better, source. A Google search for "Refn Jewish" comes up with sources that he is explicitly NOT Jewish on the first page of results. Lurkerekrul (talk) 17:42, 30 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Pronunciation?

Can we get a native Dane up in this joint to tell us how to pronounce his middle and surname? Reffen? Ren? Rain? Mangrove? 78.86.226.136 (talk) 12:43, 12 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Your first suggestion is close to the Danish pronounciation of the name. --Saddhiyama (talk) 15:33, 12 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

To add to article

If we aim to be encyclopedic, shouldn't we provide the origin/etymology of Refn's nickname, "Jang"? 76.190.213.189 (talk) 01:28, 13 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

IMDB as a source for the matrimonial status

Is it really OK?.. CharlieBrie (talk) 16:12, 9 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No. Go ahead and delete that source and that content. -- Valjean (talk) (PING me) 00:14, 10 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Surname

Can someone please clarify whether he should be referred to as Refn or Winding Refn? The WP articles describing his films are inconsistent and use a mixture of the two. Thanks. Masato.harada (talk) 09:53, 13 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This English article uses Winding Refn, but the Danish article just uses either his full name (Nicolas Winding Refn), first and last name (Nicholas Refn), or only his last name (Refn), without his mother's name of Winding, so I'd take my cue from that and say that Refn is the most common usage. One would think that Danes would know best. I'll go ahead and fix the usage here and you can fix it elsewhere. To be absolutely sure, I have asked at the Danish article's talk page. -- Valjean (talk) (PING me) 13:04, 13 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
