Who is Thor actress Kat Dennings' musician husband, Andrew W.K?
Musician Andrew W.K first launched his musical career in the early noughties with rock and metal songs about partying. He shot to fame with his 2001 anthem 'Party Hard', which remained a popular track for years after, appearing in adverts, movie trailers, video games and even at ice hockey games – it's the goal song for the Pittsburgh Penguins. Despite his hard rocker image, W.K – whose full name is Andrew Fetterly Wilkes-Krier – also became known for his motivational speaking and self-help work. He wrote an advice column for New York newspaper The Village Voice, hosted a children's game show on the Cartoon Network, and gave lectures on positive partying at universities including Oxford, Yale and NYU. And then he disappeared. Andrew W.K had disappeared from social media for two years until his wedding to Kat Dennings. Photo: @katdenningsss/Instagram Just a few weeks after releasing his sixth studio album God Is Partyin g in September 2021, W.K went off the grid. He deleted all his social media accounts and the tour he had announced was cancelled. Numerous conspiracy theories were floated by fans until about two years later, he began to be seen more frequently when his actress partner – Thor and 2 Broke Girls actress Kat Dennings – confirmed they were married. Here's what you need to know about the rocker. The fame train Andrew W.K and his wife Kat Dennings. Photo: @katdenningsss/Instagram Andrew W.K is a classically trained pianist, having begun lessons as a five-year-old with teachers from the University of Michigan Music School. He played in bands as a teen, then applied to and was accepted into the Art Institute of Chicago. Before the term even started, though, he had decided to move to New York and make music. In 2001, W.K's song 'Party Hard' became an instant rock anthem and by the time he released his debut album , I Get Wet – with its now famous cover of him drenched in sweat with a bloody nose – he had solidified a cult following.
