Alexander Skarsgård chatted with Conan O’Brien last night about his love for aggressive women and being comfortable naked.
Enjoy these 2 great videos of a charming as ever Alex.
An article about Alexander Skarsgård has just been published at wwm.com (Women’s Wear Daily) and there are some great photos that go along with it. The article with accompanying photos is titled “Knockout at Fortune Gym.” Below is a portion of the article by Jim Windolf that pertains to Alex and True Blood that focuses on the differences between the man and the character of Eric he plays on the show. Also below are photos from the article.
“True Blood capitalizes on his brooding, mysterious quality, but in real life Alex is very sweet and thoughtful and even kind of boyish. At festivals or when we’re out socially, I watch as he spends his time taking pictures with these middle-aged housewives and grannies. It’s little things like him bending at the knees, not to dwarf them in pictures. It reminds me of what I’ve read about James Dean, how respectful he was around women, which is a contradiction, because he was such a handsome boy. In a similar way, Alex doesn’t act like a handsome lady-killer. He’s very respectful, and that’s something you wouldn’t expect, because women find him to be a sex symbol, and he’s got these screaming True Blood fans. But he doesn’t exploit or even take advantage of his looks, and I think that’s telling.
“He has never said this to me, but I imagine he is tired of playing a vampire and wants to explore different sides of himself. I think, in the past, he has been underestimated, which is a great place to be, because then you can blow people away.”

Alexander Skarsgård has been a busy boy this past year with 3 movies in the theaters (Disconnect, What Maisie Knew, The East), and True Blood starting on June 16th, he’s been all over the news. From what we can see, it looks like he’s been choosing the right films and we’re all excited to see him tomorrow night when he appears on CONAN OBRIEN.
Alexander will be appearing on the June 5th episode of Conan, which airs 11 pm eastern on TBS.
And for those of you who are GOT fans, writer, George R. R. Martin will also be appearing. Maybe they will ask him about the infamous “Red Wedding” we saw in this week’s episode. Also appearing is the folkgroup, Houndmouth.

True Blood has certainly been good to Alexander Skarsgård and his fans are grateful and hope he will be on the show until the end.
In a recent interview with Inquirer Entertainment, Alex is quoted as saying:
“Professionally, ‘True Blood’ changed things a lot for me,” he declared. “Before ‘True Blood,’ I did theater and movies. There was a level of uncertainty. You finish a job and then you’re like, ‘Uh oh, how am I going to pay my bills next month?’ What’s been great about ‘True Blood’ is … a lot of things. One of them is that it has given me security, financially, to do whatever I want creatively. It’s a lovely feeling, like last fall, when I did ‘The East,’ ‘Disconnect’ and ‘What Maisie Knew.’ All three were pretty small independent films.”
In the interview, Alex discusses True Blood’s Season 6 and makes me feel a little better for Eric’s future in the series:
“There’s a new… oh God, I’ve got to be careful here,” Alexander Skarsgård caught himself as he answered a question on what direction his vampire character Eric in is headed. But the actor revealed the “new” development in his 1,000-year-old fanged Viking sheriff’s life, anyway.
“Someone is introduced, a new character, into Eric’s life,” dished the 36-year-old Swede. A possible love interest? “Maybe, maybe not,” Alexander teased in this recent interview. “But there’s someone new who’s suddenly part of his inner circle.”
On the huge buzz that his beloved character will be killed in the sixth season, Alexander jested, “I’m right here!”
Then he said,
“We’re wrapping up. We’re now [doing] the last two episodes of the season. I’m obviously not going to reveal what happens in those last two episodes but Eric has been busy this year because, up until now, the humans have been blood bags. Eric doesn’t really care about humans and they can’t really do anything. But this season, for the first time in a millennium, the humans can actually fight back. The governor of Louisiana has figured out a way to be a real threat and fight back. So it’s tough for Eric. It’s not as easy as it was before, dealing with the humans.”
Later on in the interview, Alex discusses the purchase of his home in LA and the three films he made last year which you can read by going to: entertainment.inquirer.net
True Blood’s Alexander Skarsgård attended another premiere and after party for his new film, “The East” last night at the ArcLight Theater in Hollywood.
Below is a video with Alexander Skarsgård from the The LA Times hosted screening and panel discussion of the 2012 film What Maisie Knew.
True Blood’s Eric, Alexander Skarsgård is seen in the video below with Onata Aprile and directors Scott McGhee and David Siegel where they talk about the story, the casting process and how lead actresss Julianne Moore created her rock star role with the help of indie band The Kills.
Alex was asked outright about the rumors of Eric’s possible death, but as expected, he refused to divulge whether Eric will survive the season. Also, he was tight lipped about the new season overall, except to say that Eric is going to be busy this year fighting the humans who are a real threat and fighting back.
He did confirm that True Blood is currently filming the last two episodes of the season.
The True Blood part of the interview starts at about 3:15 in the video below.
