Andersen was born on 20 May 1994 in Denmark to parents Thomas Andersen (father), and Charlotte Høgh (mother).
Alex was born and raised in the small town of Skælskør in the western part of Sjælland in Denmark, Andersen discovered his love of acting while studying drama at school. He participated in many musical oriented plays and was fortunate to gain a lot of experience with many big roles. Like his peers, he began auditioning for film roles.
At age 17, Andersen realised the difference between live performances and acting in front of a camera. This encouraged him to pursue Film and Media Studies at the University of Copenhagen. He started university in 2014, but dropped out in 2015 for the filming of Vikings on location in Ireland.
