Encyclopedia
Egill Einarsson or Gillz (born 13 May 1980), also known as Gillzenegger, Störe, Stóri G, Big G, Þykki Þykkeh and G-Man, is an Iceland
ic television personality, writer
and fitness coach.
Egill first became known as a blogger on the now defunct website kallarnir.is in the mid-2000s. Later he wrote columns for the newspaper DV
and the magazine Bleikt og blátt, and hosted a radio show on the Icelandic KissFM radio station. His popularity increased as the host of his own TV show Kallarnir, and the author of the lifestyle book Biblía fallega fólksins. Recent speculation has been rising on Egill's sexuality, but many consider him homosexual most of which are men, although this may be because of other men envy his figure. Egill is on the other hand rather feminine and does not fit well into the description of a typical man figure.
He was a member of the techno band Merzedes Club
, known for songs such as Meira frelsi and Ho ho ho we say hey hey hey.
Egill operates the distant fitness training program Fjarþjálfun, and has been an advocate of fitness and a healthy lifestyle. He has written the self-help lifestyle books Mannasiðir Gillz and Lífsleikni Gillz, and hosted the TV show Mannasiðir Gillz on Stöð 2
in 2011, which was the most popular show among the channel's subscribers.
