Overview
- In a Vogue Scandinavia interview published Dec. 2, Anderson said she would like to change her last name to Hyytiäinen to reflect her roots.
- She added, “I would like to change my name, but they won’t let me,” without clarifying who is preventing the change.
- Her family used the surname Hyytiäinen before emigrating to Canada, where it was changed to Anderson to sound more North American.
- Anderson recalled learning Finnish from her grandfather, Herman Hyytiäinen, describing the language as “magical” and noting he died when she was about 11.
- She said she would like to visit Finland again, possibly with her sons, and noted a recent shift to copper red hair prompted reflection on her identity.
