You Can't Play Sexy

In the upcoming Swedish movie 'Puss' / 'Trust Me'

“You can’t play sexy” Alexander Skarsgård holds back on the vanity in “TrueBlood”

On Wednesday, SVT will start airing the vampire series that has made Alexander Skarsgård a sex symbol in the US. During pre-launch of True Blood, Nöjesbladet got the chance to talk to the Swede in Hollywood. “My parents complain of the lack of nudity in the show”, says Alexander Skarsgård. That’s the exact opposite of the reaction in the US, where the nudity content is especially noted. Alexander’s comment makes his co-worker, Nelsan Ellis who plays Lafayette Reynolds, react: “Really? Wow”. Skarsgård explains himself: “My parents are old hippies”, but Ellis isn’t satisfied with the explanation. Alexander Skarsgård continues: “You know, my father works in Europe and grew up in a different culture. He became very upset because nudity was censored, but not violent and bloody scenes. That it was appropriate for kids, but not boobs (or even one).” AS continues: “Now he (Stellan) just says “Finally” (laughs). Stellan’s opinion: “This is the way we’re created. It’s beautiful. What’s wrong with that?’” Those of you who want to see the younger generation of Skarsgård (turning 33 on Tuesday) undressed will have to be patient. In the first season he appears in only 7 episodes. In season 2 the Scandinavian vampire gets a bigger role.

Eric Northman, blossoms.

“In the beginning I was mostly the mean vampire leader telling others what to do. In season 2 I become more personal. That pleases me. After season 1, people said ‘Oh, you’re the mean guy, the cool vampire.’ But I don’t see it so black and white. Season 2 shows many more sides of Eric.”

Falling in love with a vampire

The story centers around Sookie Stackhouse (Anna Paquin), a barmaid in Louisiana whose life turns upside down when she falls in love with the vampire Bill (Stephen Moyer). The series makes Alexander Skarsgård, who’s been voted Sweden’s sexiest man, closer to conquering an equivalent title in the US. He’s already popular in a reader’s poll Entertainment Weekly made.

“You can not act sexy”

He denies that he deliberately would make himself sexy in ‘True blood’. “You can not play sexy. It would be ridiculous. If you think about it while filming it’s distracting. – I hate vain actors. You just have to try to be present in the moment. You can not think about how your hair looks.

We are so happy you are taking care of us!!!

Danielle, we missed you the last few months. Our mom is back to work and although we miss her, we are glad to see you every day. We really look forward to your visit and know that you are happy to see us also.

Holly  asked me to write this post because she is busy outside chasing her tail. Holly has been very well behaved lately…for the most part. The training tips you gave our mom really made a big difference. She has turned the corner in the area and hardly ever has an accident. You are so smart!

Every once in a while, Holly really craves attention and tries to push me out of the picture. Most of the time she is nice and subtle about it. Every so often, Holly growls when I try to get attention also. I don’t like that at all but because I am pretty mellow I let it slip. My mom and dad don’t like this behavior and seem to discourage it.

My mom just washed our couch cover and our over-size Orvis bed. We seem to be shedding more in the heat so she combs us more often but our white fur really piles up.

Well, we look forward to seeing you tomorrow. Our breakfast is ready.

Signing off for now – Seamus
