Hvenegaard is named after the title character of Pelle from Danish author Martin Andersen Nexรธ's 1910 novel Pelle the Conqueror.

At age 11, director Bille August chose Hvenegaard to play the character he is named for, after the crew auditioned 3,000 children. August decided on Hvenegaard, who he said demonstrated concentration, patience and self-control.
