He must’ve been really disturbed if he ever saw his audition tape (when he got older) and angry at the authority figures who let him be objectified like that.
I remember reading an article in Time years ago about some international study they'd done on what constitutes male beauty from the female perspective. The one common element that came up was feminine traits. If you look at the classic men from old Hollywood in particular, they had strong feminine features. This guy is a great example. Almost feminine in appearance.
People didn’t care about this boy in that time, they saw him as an object to satisfy someone’s desires. Poor Bjorn, he probably wished to live in a different time where sane people can see his suffering and protect him from disgusting people.
