After the end of his professional career, he worked administratively for the football club Vålerenga.[3] He also attained fame after being featured in several iterations of Championship Manager, a football-management simulation video game series.

In June 2009, Heidenstrøm embarked on a journey by bicycle from Norway to Cape Town, South Africa, to raise awareness for the plight of refugees. Along the way he collected football shirts, which were stitched together to form a huge football shirt that was unveiled at the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa in June 2010.[4]
