Hollywood has plenty of examples of power couples to choose from. Beyonce and Jay Z, Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds, Alex Rodriguez and Jennifer Lopez and John Legend and Chrissy Teigen all embody the perfect power couple. Obviously, they are major relationship goals.
One other celebrity couple that’s just too cute to ignore is Marvel's Deadpool 2 star Zazie Beetz and her longtime boyfriend David Rysdahl. The two movie stars have been together for a total of six years and they’re still going strong. While both actors are equally interesting, Beetz’s long-time beau remains a mystery to fans. Now all anyone wants to know is just who is David Rysdahl?
David Rysdahl’s Upbringing
Everyone says that opposites attract. The saying pretty much rings true for couple Zazie Beetz and David Rysdahl. The pair share similarities but they also have some differences. For instance, Beetz and Rysdahl both have very different backstories. While Beetz grew up as a city girl in the Big Apple, Rysdahl was raised out in New Ulm, Minnesota. They’re basically every romantic comedy featuring a city girl meeting a boy from the sticks. Obviously, the two were destined for each other.
Additionally, The Family actor didn’t grow up an only child like his long-time girlfriend. Instead, he has three siblings and one of his brothers just so happens to work as an upcoming filmmaker. Rysdahl definitely grew up in a creative family.
The actor’s educational background differs from Beetz as well. As a young boy, he attended New Ulm Cathedral High School and then continued his studies at St. Olaf College. Both Beetz and Rysdahl attended college, clearly sharing a love for higher education.
They Both Caught The Acting Bug
The long-time couple may have some differences, but they have plenty in common. In fact, they both share a love for acting and the arts. While David Rysdahl’s acting resume pales in comparison to his girlfriend’s credentials, he’s starred in a few noteworthy film projects. The actor and writer first showed his interest in acting as a young boy when he starred in school plays. Rysdahl’s most recognized effort came after he recited Robert W. Service’s “The Cremation of Sam McGee.” Though, as the actor became older, he took acting more serious.
Rysdahl eventually moved to New York City to immerse himself entirely into the acting scene. The actor and writer made his acting debut in the 2008 video short Graduation Day. For a while, the actor only made it onto short film projections such as the 2010 film Intimacy and 2018’s Forgotten Country. Despite taking on small projects, the actor is most recognized for his work on films like That’s Not Us, The Revival, Dead Pigs and The Cure. Additionally, he starred on the first season of the Netflix series The Family back in 2019. Currently, Rysdahl continues to pursue his acting career and as of now, he’s receiving steady work.
The actor has a long way to go before reaching the same level of stardom as his famous girlfriend Zazie Beetz. Fortunately, the actor isn’t a struggling artist like most up-and-coming talents. The Family actor actually worked in the medical field as a doctor just like his father before pursuing his acting career. According to sources, his last recorded net worth ranked at $200,000. Even if acting doesn’t work out for Rysdahl, he could always go back to the family business. The actor certainly has options.
