Am I the only one who thinks that his incredible personality, his ability to be absolutely genuine, human, and humble makes him even more of a sex symbol than just his fantastic looks. Sorry he's just my dream guy

[@Hana-wx8gz]

vampmaster14 Agree with you! 👍🏻

[@shiboof]

makes me wonder, he is in his 40's now and not married. maybe very picky?

[@vampmaster14]

@@shiboof I'm not sure if he's picky or not, but he is a very unique person at the height of his career so possibly not the best time for him to try to settle down.

[@pochocaavartalac9228]

Mine too! Without having even met him, I feel connected to him. Does that make someone crazy?

[@jyusatsu]

vampmaster14 There's a video interview that he seems is picky when it comes to woman as he used to compare them to her childhood crush, Jessica Lange and that might be the reason he's still unmarried.

[@julesg796]

He’s more than just a handsome guy. There is a depth and humor to his personality that to me, is fascinating.

[@kimmypoo112]

I love watching Alexander in interviews he's always so articulate!, sweet and charming!

[@herrbonk3635]

But it bothers me somewhat that he always seem to shout when speaking amerikan, especially as he seldom does that in his native language, rather the opposite.

[@lacy.knickers146]

Kimmy Poo Absolutely!!!

[@tanam3146]

Love that Alex talks about himself in a very personal way in this interview. I love getting to know him; such a genuine, intelligent, and beautiful person inside and out. One of a kind.. I adore him!

[@samara7509]

Why you think he is personal?

[@nicolep5574]

I'm so happy for him that he still has all his hair!! He deserves it!!

[@robotdowney]

Lmao what

[@joseizidoro1688]

😂😂😂😂

[@candiclark9136]

His vocabulary & English is much better than mine. He's impressive.. not just talented & gorgeous.. but obviously brilliant .

[@safetygirl53]

Good interview, indepth and unusual discussion with an actor who has more than good looks to offer.

[@Sjalcon]

I could listen to him talk for hours. I love him.

[@rosesantos1654]

I tottaly agree with you! 👍

[@armchairguru1921]

Alexander, Armie, and Mattias Schoenarts are the most gorgeous men in Hollywood!

[@evaferrerbosch]

I don't know who Armie is... but Alexander and Matthias are soooo attractive man.. woooww

[@tiasmith1809]

Gosh this man looks sooo good for his age 42, he looks like he's in his 30s/20s

[@tiebaojin]

What do you mean he looks good for 42? He's a baby. He's got a long time to go before he looks "bad"

[@vaskylark]

I think he looks his age, but that doesn't mean he doesn't look because he looks great! He does have those telltale bags/wrinkles under his eyes that show his age but I'm 49 so who frigging cares lol

[@dark_paradise27]

@@tiebaojin well he looks like he is 31 for me so much younger! :D

[@vinvin5909]

Yes when he was 35 and he was playing Eric Northman who had lost his memory, he used to look 25 years old.

[@shikha433]

The way he said 'thanku very much' it sounds like the words are whipped in butter

[@Kimbeeerleeey]

Pretty sure he's not going to be able to shed that sex symbol image any time soon...

[@ruthgraham536]

Long,lean,an SEXIE,nice voice,SEXIE eyes.

[@ruthgraham536]

ALEX WAS THE MOST HANDSOME MAN IN TRUE BLOOD.SO TALENTED.ALC TOO BUT ALEX BEST.STEVE MOYER COMES IN LAST.IM 74 YR OLD MOVIE BUFF AN I KNOW MY STUFF KEEP UP GOOD WORK GUYS

[@indianahoosier6367]

Alexander makes my toes curl UP !

[@ciciliarocio]

Wow, creó que cada vez me enamoró más de Alexander, es un ser humano con los pies en la tierra y con un enorme corazón

[@cassandrasmith558]

Best carrier advice ever, love this man 💚

[@vinvin5909]

Is it just me or others also want to see him in a role as powerful as Eric Northman. He is very experimental and terrific actor but his alpha make image I don’t know perhaps suited him the most.

[@lhiyag248]

He was perfect as Eric 💜

[@kat8548]

You are so right

[@seeulatermaybenever6189]

I just realized he’s the guy lady Gaga was kissing in her paparazzi song 😂

[@theviewzkey]

So he didn’t see BLL where Alex won numerous awards or Mute or In The Dark? 🤔

[@javieroliveras344]

This how I know I have to move to Europe

[@dirt_road_dreamin_]

He looks so good for his age, I want to know his secrets

[@girlKSA123]

Amber White well Swedish gene

[@debraburns2761]

He has great genes. So does Henry Cavill.

[@ruling528]

He's rich!

[@reznafi702]

I thought his younger brother Gustaf was the eldest because he looks older than Alexander...😅

[@karinatorres5555]

El es hermano de Bill? El actor que hace de it?

[@ceciliabrunni1539]

yes

[@barbby89]

si

[@ItSAaliya_onSCREEN]

Yes this is Bill's older bro

[@joseizidoro1688]

Yes

[@joshuagarbett]

A thank you a thankyou very much, I’ll have a peanut butter & jelly sandwich awww - haw

[@annejeppesen160]

Er der svenskere der ved hvad han råber til fodboldkampen? Jeg kan ikke regne det ud 😕

[@_TheDudeAbides_]

It is a bit messy because he is drunk but he says stuff like "Vilka är vackrast?" "Vilka är bäst?" "Vilka vinner mest". So Which are the most beautiful ones, which are the best ones, which wins the most. And they respond Hammarby, the team name.

[@julianne2saw]

there is a great , very old naturalist camp in pace , fla. come n down.

[@item7924]

Cool!

[@redriverbluesman]

I heard this interview playing on a blogcast and had to look it up to comment, as I was not a fan of what I heard. He seems very faux humble to me in this interview....like, "oh, I've never had to try hard....just happened to be hanging out in Hollywood in a big house my dad rented when I was asked to do a role....I think if you are desperate for a role it just doesn't look good..." um, sounds pretty entitled to me in this interview. I don't dislike his acting, or him, I just feel he comes across "better than thou" in this interview. He's fortunate, born to an actor dad who has director friends. That's a nice silver spoon to be born with, unlike those poor, desperate people who flock to Hollywood, nearly penniless, dying for a chance to make enough to rent a house. Blessed life might be adding to those great looks so many are commenting on. Just saying.

[@patriciamungenast741]

I think he is great

[@tsukinousagi8267]

even his brother Gustaf said he didn't respect him as an actor because he wasn't serious with his acting at the beginning of his career. While the others brothers were serious, Gustaf studied acting for years, and let's be honest you can see his brother have better acting skill than him. The man can really thanks his father and the fact that being good looking is more important in Hollywood.

[@liliancr9146]

Is that part of knew movie or part of your life 🤗

[@ItSAaliya_onSCREEN]

Lol Weird interviewer...maybe he's just nervous

[@angelaromo3442]

Iam so so ... Sorry I thought you . Are real

[@liliancr9146]

You lost wight Alexander skarsgard

[@s.carter4087]

I genuinely hope and pray whoever that entity is - the “interviewer” aka dude asking a random series of questions completely unrelated to the project I thought this video was about - never interviews again. And preferably never encounters another human again. I’d lock it up and throw away the key. Something is deeply wrong with that man. Sorry, Alexander. So cringe.
