Regardless of the fact he looks like a Norse god, his personality is perfection.

He’s so grounded and real. His parents raised him right.

[@LayllasLocker]

From what I could see and hear he has a great family. Kudos to Stellan and his wife for not forcing a kid to do something it doesn't want to do. It is a blessing to have supportive parents in the sea of self-orientated "parents".

@Alexander Skarsgård stop pretending you're alexander are u 12???

[@magnamarianneczagany8970]

His father is a great actor and he is the one preparing breakfast lunch and dinner at his house on top of it all he cooks in his birthday suit. Sounds like a great household to grow up in doesn’t it ?

[@last7509]

hemsworth is irreplaceable at this point, but he certainly would be a suitable and a more appropriate thor. which his dad is in 😋

He's a king for being comfortable to be a Queen. What a man!

What?

[@keanenfulton4696]

wtf

[@bepplersauce]

Lemme explain for the two who seem confused by this comment (explanations in parentheses): "He (Alexander Skarsgård) is a king (A ruler of men, usually a man), for being comfortable to be a Queen (normally a female ruler of men, but in this case a drag queen, which is a man dressed as a woman). What a man (human male)!"

@@bepplersauceLMAO????

[@Sancto58]

Every male actor must at least once in his career put on womens clothes as a confirmation that they have sold their soul to the devil for fame and fortune!!!

[@javiermigoya]

Ok, is it just me, or has anyone else noticed Alexander Skarsgård has not aged a second in 15-20 years, He's Literally a Day Walker Vampire, Also he Played Eric Northman in True Blood 2008-2014, and Now he plays the lead role in Northman? coincidence? nope he's a Vampire for sure

[@CClarinet123]

this is from 2016 though

[@samanthabrown-4952]

Yeah but he looked amazing in Northman

[@geoafe66]

Northman is great. Recommend seeing it.

That deadpan comic timing though

[@heatherr0420]

I can't help myself, to quote a certain line in the theme song of True Blood, "I want to do bad things with you" not only is he insanely handsome, he seems very down to earth and has an awesome sense of humor. As if he needed to be more awesome

@Alexander Skarsgård what a joke😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@vicenteservantesservices9446]

yes

[@joacimunicorn]

I love how he just refers to Allan Edwall, one of Sweden's greatest actors and entertainers of the 1900's, as "his dad's friend who was a director". I know that most brits and americans won't know who he is, but Alex just refuses to brag and name drop.

I recently watched the Swedish movie “den enfaldige mördaren“ with young Stellan Skarsgård and that’s when I realized he looks exactly like his dad.

[@tinasjostrand2677]

It's only next to Alexander that I realise Jonathan Ross is actually tall. He's always sitting!

@@Insp.CountMortisWinshipKlaw Why do you think that's a lie? Do you know anything about weight training?

[@Insp.CountMortisWinshipKlaw]

@@LusciousTwinkle Been training for 20 years. You do not eat a steak at 3 am. It is pointless and ridiculous. He took steroids. Fact.

[@LusciousTwinkle]

@@Insp.CountMortisWinshipKlaw Lifestyle training and bulking up for a movie is very different. Sumo wrestlers have been using night eating for years....taking in protein and then going to sleep makes your body retain the calories better...I'm sure he did take steroids...but they aren't the only thing that can be used to bulk up that quick.

[@Insp.CountMortisWinshipKlaw]

@@LusciousTwinkle you are uneducated. Those with a trained eye can spot steroid use very easily and he is juiced. To say he got that big by eating steak in the early hours is moronic and quite frankly utterly senseless

Why does he sound American

[@whiteadder2136]

Because he's Swedish.

[@sunnysaturn134]

a lot people in nordic countries are fluent in English and I guess they learn american english in school OR they're just very influenced by American media also a lot of Swedes still have a swedish accent when speaking english but maybe he got rid of it bc he mainly acts in the US

[@ClaudiaSalas-ru7cv]

Omg he's an actor. He can do accents. His Eric voice is the real one
