Has been hunted by the police

Madsen has had a troubled past. In 2009, he was declared bankrupt, owing money to both Quentin Tarantino and Pierce Brosnan. He has previously been convicted of drunk driving and is suspected of assault. Ten years ago, Madsen was chased by the police because he had neglected to pay 3.6 million kronor in child support and then failed to appear in court.

Last September, Madsen filed for divorce from his wife DeAnna Madsen after 28 years of marriage.
