There are times when it’s great to be a fan, especially when you are a fan of Alexander Skarsgård.
Between the Battleship premieres and scenes to the print coverage he has been receiving lately… we could call it heavenly and never want it to end. As the North American premiere is May 18th for Battleship, most of the coverage and publications have been of the international variety, and need some translation.
Thanks to Eric and Sookie Lover friend Deborah Court, who so kindly alerted us to this article and translated into English for us (we love you!), we are able to share with you this spread on Alex in the German “In Touch” (4/26/12 edition).

People: Alexander Skarsgard
“My 10 Secrets” – The True Blood hottie reveals interesting details from his life …
1. Nude Pictures
The yummy Swede likes to take off his clothes. “I’m not like the American actors who want to set up a separate contract if they are supposed to show a nipple,” he says, amused. It’s no wonder, though, that he got naked with his colleagues for the Rolling Stone Magazine in 2010.2. Guest Role
Alexander got quite close to Lady Gaga when he starred in her video, “Paparazzi”. “She isn’t crazy at all, even if she’s portrayed like this sometimes,” he told us about the pop icon.3. Lucky Charm
He doesn’t leave the house without his silver chain. “The two anchors are a symbol of hope,” he explains.4. Comedy-Fan
The vampire star loves to watch old Marx Brothers movies – a comedy group from the 30s. “This is a great way to relax,” he says.5. Favorite Food
“My father’s food is my favorite! Cooking is his biggest passion.”
As long as Papa Stellan is standing in the kitchen, Alexander likes anything that’s served. “When I’m visiting my parents, the whole family meets and my father cooks all kinds of food – African, German or Vietnamese.”6. Body Art
The woman’s dream has a very special tattoo on his left leg: “My youngest brother Valter drew a green bird on my leg when he was seven. I took a photo and had it tattooed.”7. His Idol
The Eric-Northman-actor is a huge fan of British actor Gary Oldman (“The Dark Knight”). “He inspires me.”8. Color-Fan
“I am someone who loves all kinds of colors.” Quite unusual for such a cool guy: His favorite colors are blue and pink.9. Cool Music
Who believes that the blondie (Translator’s comment: It really says that!) likes contemporary charts music, is very wrong. He prefers songs by Bob Dylan, Johnny Cash, The Rolling Stones and by the Swedish band Kalle Baah.10. Clan of Actors
The smart Scandinavian is the offspring of a real artist’s family: Papa Stellan starred (among other movies) in “Pirates of the Carribean”. And his brother Bill is a very famous actor in Sweden. “
After reading this, don’t you get the warm fuzzy feeling? I truly love when as you read articles like this where you can see how close he is to his family. Plus being a fan of Gary Oldman, another actor who is effortless in any of his roles. With Oldman and his dad Stellan as role models combined with his enormous talent… *sighs* I don’t have to say it, he is that damn good.
Now, sound off below and tell us what you think while we await the next round of incoming Skars related pictures (Hawaii and Colombia this week) and any Skars related news.
It’s definitely good to be us.
