“[We were] a very bohemian hippie family. I’d fall asleep under the table while people were partying until five in the morning. I loved it. I was probably stoned from second-hand smoke. I loved falling asleep hearing Mum and Dad laughing, having a good time.”
However that doesn’t mean that Mr. Skarsgård is all about art and being a free spirit. He can also appreciate the creepy things in life, like severed heads for example. One was found on a hiking trail near his Los Angeles home last year:
“That’s my favourite thing. A hike with a severed head…I love that stuff. Give me the dark stuff.”
As for his status as a bonified sex symbol, having been voted Sweden’s sexist man alive five times in a row, Alexander remains endearingly modest about the whole thing:
“I’m glad this didn’t happen when I was 17,” he said. “It would be too easy to believe the hype. If you’re too young, you think this defines me. This is who I really am.”
There is no doubt that Alexander is very handsome. But he also happens to be a top notch actor and very nice to his fans! Besides returning in True Blood season 5, you’ll find Alexander on the big screen in Battleship this May! Anyone going to see it? Tell me in the comments below!
