At the red carpet, Witzøe appeared with celebrity stylist Jan Thomas. Jan Thomas told the publication Nettavisen that he and Witzøe have known each other for several years.

“Some are “keepers”, while others come and go. Gustav is a “keeper”, said Jan Thomas.

“I’m starting to get used to it, but I think it’s just sick every time. I don’t really understand it. It’s difficult to comprehend,” he said and continued:

“It’s pretty sick to be on the same list as Kylie Jenner. I’m just a Froya guy who has ended up on a list. It’s not much more than that,” he added.
