GQ.AU has chosen their choice of The 50 GQ men of style and substance and Alexander Skarsgård came in at #5. Their definition of Style is doing things your way. Substance is doing things the right way. A real man has both attributes. The list of 50 is quite an eclectic group, but we’re glad that a True Blood star was listed and at such a high number.
5. Alexander Skarsgård - The Viking
It’s not such a bad predicament to be faced with — being six foot four and having the looks of a Nordic god. But Skarsgård, Eric Northman in HBO’s True Blood, knows he risks being typecast as the good-looking hunk in cheesy chick flicks. “The nice thing is that as long as I’m doing this TV show I’ve got fuck-you money,” Skarsgard has told GQ. “So I can say no to things. I never want to be in a position where I can’t defend why I say yes.”
We like that as a motto for life. Do what you truly believe in doing and you’ll never have to defend yourself to anyone.
