'12
I’ve gotten to the point where I consistently want to bang Alex Skarsgard, but before I take off his clothes, I want to slather some under-eye cream on whatever he’s got going on there. I’m not one of those ladies who gets skittish about a dude who looks his age, or even older than his age. I love Michael Fassbender, for the love of God, and that boy looks about a decade older than his actual age. Alex is only 36 years old – some under-eye cream would definitely help, right? And then we can hit it. Anyway, these are some nice, new photos of Alex at the Rome Fiction Fest (?) on Friday. He looks really good – except for his eyes. He just looks exhausted. Probably from all of the Viking sex.
In other Skars-news, I kind of love how celebrities really have to sit down and do real interviews when they become “the face” of a brand. Alex is the current face of Calvin Klein’s Encounter, and not only does he have to travel the world promoting the brand (and talking about his love of sausage smells), but he has to sit down and give interviews to the Wall Street Journal about it too. Here are some highlights from Alex’s WSJ piece (you can read the full thing here).
Working with Calvin Klein and Lara Stone: “It’s my first kind of campaign. This felt like the right one because of a combination of things. First of all, Calvin is a great house. I was very flattered. Creatively, it felt interesting. I worked with [French art director and director of the short film] Fabien Baron, who is arguably one of the greatest art directors of our time and he’s behind all of their legendary campaigns. I’ve also worked with Lara Stone. Peter Lindbergh shot us two years ago together for Vogue and she is so great—so great—so much fun to work with and laid back and no ego, just very cool girl.”
Learning how to wear cologne: “Yeah, I do. I think the trick is in moderation. I think what’s very sexy is we all have our personal scent, kind of like our fingerprint, so unique. The trick is not to overpower that. You want the marriage between your scent and the fragrance. That creates something very sensual to me. As a young teenager I made the mistake of going all in and it was like a cloud. I was going to this disco when I was 13, like a school dance, and I just discovered fragrances. I had five different bottles and I thought they all smelled great so I figured that combining them was a great idea. I ended up alone, in a corner of the dance. People were 50 feet away because I was just a cloud of perfume walking around. I learned the hard way that less is more.”
He puts cologne on like a girl: “One spray of the fragrance, that’s kind of it. Wrists [dabbing his writs] and then bottom of my ears I do that [moved one wrist to one ear]and then like that [moved other wrist to his other ear].”
Going to “dark places” in his work: “I know. I need to talk to my shrink about that. I don’t know what that is about. What’s wrong with me?”
[From The Wall Street Journal]
There’s also an exchange where he’s asked about the rumors that he could play Christian Grey in a film adaptation of 50 Shades of Grey. Alex first says, “I haven’t read the script. I don’t think there is a script out yet.” When he’s asked if he’s read the books, he says, “No, are they good?” The WSJ guy says, “Uh, they’re something.” And Alex replies: “I like something.” Then Alex pretty much says that he would totally do the movie if they managed to give him a good script for it: “I haven’t read the books. I know how tremendously successful they are and how people are obsessed, so of course I’m flattered if some people out there wants to see me do that. But it’s difficult to say. Step one is always read the script for me. I get the script, I read it and then I feel something or I don’t. You either connect and you feel like this is a character that you want to spend a couple of months with or you don’t….” That’s basically a yes, I think. Which is disappointing. But I guess he’s being diplomatic too, like, he’s saying that we would never say “no” to anything without first reading the script.

still asking? always and forever..
and stop it with 50 Shades, I hate it-I hate that it’s bringing more crap writing out, more crap being published.. There are much better books out there that could be made into movies.

Yes I would. Repeatedly. He’s had bags under his eyes since he was a kid.

I’d climb him like a flagpole. I love his hands.

Geebus he’s so tall.. Like a Swedish tree!
Didn’t he say he liked the smell of sausages and not house fragrances? And don’t house fragrances smell like perfume though? Oh well..must be tricky with Calvin Klein eh…
No he does nothing to me… I don’t know he reminds me of a Swedish deer with his eyes and bags etc.

Am seeing this dude as handsome for the first time.

If you google images of a young Alexander, you will see that he had dark circles/bags under his eyes as a child. My grandmother called them “allergy shiners.”
Report this comment as spam or abuse
Thank you! Ugh. I have allergy shiners too, and people would always ask me if I’m OK. I finally started doing concealer under my eyes, because I just got sick of everyone asking.

He’s had those eye bags since he was a child, here’s a still from Åke and His World:

It gets worse when he’s tired (and yes, drinking).
I’d still hit it.

You need to ask? LOL
YES!
I’m not liking his answers about the unmentionable one bit, but I guess it would be bad form to simply laugh it off and say no way, the book is a piece of shit. Or rather: I don’t think he’s in a position where he can say that. Also – he *is* an actor – what actor would not be just a little pleased about being mentioned over and over again in conncetion with a project that might end up being huge? It must feel flattering.

He looks like Squidward.

No offence but his eyes were like that last year too!
I always got funny feelings when all his fans crooned and swooned over him

It shouldn’t even be a question anymore. I would ALWAYS hit it. Without question or hesitation!

His eyebags have layers. I’m not sure if I’d boink him or not. I don’t find him really attractive.
Report this comment as spam or abuse
You’d think after years of writing about him you’d realize by now that his eyebags are genetic? And everyone in his family has them? And it doesn’t stop people from being attracted to him?

^This. He’s beautiful inside and out and probably too polite (from most reported accounts) to outright trash 50 Shades of Crap. I’m guessing he knows a lot of his fans are all gung-ho to see him take on the role, and while I think he’d knock it out of the park, it’s still stigmatized at this point. So yeah, basically irredeemable. I liked his response. It’s professional without giving the sense of smacking his fans with the verbal equivalent of a rolled up newspaper.
Oh, and would I hit it? Like it owed me money.

He may have had under eye bags as a child but it’s obvious it’s not the same — they are worse, much worse, his eyes are red, and there is massive wrinkles now. Much much different than childhood or genetic eye bags.
He’s getting busted, from age, drinking, drugs whatever . partying too much as his age will catch up with you faster than ever and it’s showing on his face.

He had them during the Hidden filming as well, but no drinking, no partying then.

Not for some time now, but I always appreciate the sight of him rocking a suit. Hello, Skarsie.

I would!!!He looks very good in this suit
I like the bags under his eyes, it’s unique 
, in other images from Rome, they are much less visible. Besides, he looks happy and finally able to eat normally again after the diet for “Hidden”

I would hit it until I lost consciousness.
And as previous posters have mentioned, Alex has allergies.

I have them too and I have allergies. And I totally agree with your post above.

He is not on my Hit List but I think those bags under his eyes adds character, which I like.

I like him better clean-shaven, but the truth is I don’t care. I’d hit it in every way, every day. I love my Viking-dong.

ThE man is a heavy drinker and partier and sleeps with anything that comes his way but they have to be boney models before he hits it and he did say once he drinks like a Viking.
His age is creeping up and is showing in 4 yrs he is 40 grow up Alex.

The more banged-up a man looks, the better his girlfriend/wife does.

Has he stopped bleaching his hair? Looks like he’s gone back to his natural colour.
Oh, and the answer to your question is yes. Is any other answer even possible?

I adore my tall, dorky Viking, so of course I would hit it! I’d love to know what he smells like…

His eye bags make him look more like a real person. Sexy is more than just looks. His acting and personality makes him sexy.
