On his official Facebook profile, Olsen confirmed that he was responsible for the ad: "Yes, it's me on Pornhub."

Olsen reportedly told Denmark's B.T. newspaper Sunday that "election campaigns are serious ... but there must also be some humor."

"And No, there aren't the big thoughts behind -- I just hope you have a good laugh," he wrote on his official Facebook page. "There must also be room for all the serious political messages."
