Here are some images from Alexander Skarsgard’s Man of the World pictorial – I showed you guys the cover a few weeks ago, but I kept seeing ads for the pictorial on this site, so I finally gave in. I know I said I mostly find Alex attractive in suits, but good lord, he looks amazing in these photos. Sigh…
Anyway, I guess I’m just trying to do a Week of Skarsgard for whatever reason, so let’s see what he’s been up to! A few days ago, he was on Kelly & Michael, and his interview was pretty cute. He talked about being in love with a girl in Stockholm and how tall he is and True Blood, Disconnect, etc. It’s a nice interview. He casually uses the word “didactic”. It’s pretty hot.
Meanwhile, you know how Alex was supposed to play Tarzan with Jessica Chastain as Jane? Well, in an interview this week, Alex was asked if he was still attached to Tarzan and he said “Um… No, I mean, we’ll see what happens. I’m not quite sure yet.” Then Deadline published a story yesterday about the project “dying on the vine” – you can read the Deadline story here. Apparently, the film was supposed to start production this year but the director wanted a big-budget and the studio wasn’t into it. The project might go ahead next year but probably not.

Good Lord that man, so freakin HOT.. you just made my Thursday..
all you ladies fight over Cumby, while I happily take him..
*watches the tumblweed bounce across the empty Viking post*
Have fun, Marie! I don’t even think Miss Kiki is around today!
ha, fine by me!
But I can finally defend you! Find me someone to bonk on the head – I am all fired up.
Other than a roll in the hay once with the viking, I think I will stay with Tommyanna instead. Sorry but my heart speaks loudly on this matter… as do other parts.
Marie- you’re not alone girl, I’m right here with you!
I don’t know how any *sane* woman would take that fish-lizard faced twit over the gorgeousness of ASkars. Sigh.
This post has made my week :). Thank you Kaiser for posting these gorgeous new photos and for the interview! He is so sexy and adorable. And what a butt! YUM!
Not depressed. Something better will come along. Since Vikings has been renewed for a 2nd season, maybe they could create a character for him. Not only would he get to act alongside his brother Gustav, him & Travis Fimmel on the same screen would make my lady bits spontaneously combust!
Ohhh, I love that idea!!
Someone needs to forward this idea to a studio head. This needs to happen.
Smart decision. That would be lame. He’s done some small roles in not big or critically acclaimed movies. I don’t doubt his talent but he needs the proper vehicle.
Great Brooding Viking Photos!!!! Even if Photoshopped for dear life.
I’m glad he won’t play Tarzan, that movie would be a joke, not even studios are buying. Something better will surely come for him.
DAYUM. He photoshops well, doesn’t he? I never realized what a great profile he has.
What specifically looks photoshopped to you?
Oh, just the basic stuff. They cleaned up the dark circles under his eyes, diminished the eye bags, lessened the frown lines and those two columnar side ones on his forehead, evened out his skin color and removed his blemishes, made the color of his eyes pop, possibly adjusted sections of his hairline by a fraction, tweaked the coloring of his beard to be more even, and highlighted/shadowed certain areas of his face for effect.
These are all little things to most people, but put together, you’d be surprised what a vast improvement they make to an image. Not that Skars’ face needs all that much improving.
And of course he is the only male actor who is photoshopped 🙂
Isn`t every actor who is on the cover of a magazine photoshopped these days?
So almost every photo you se on this site has been photoshopped more or less.
I think in Alex case not so much in these photos.
Of course everyone is photoshopped, but not everyone photoshops well. That’s my point. For example, there are some people who require so much work on their pores and things like that that they end up looking waxy just to cover the imperfections. Don’t even get me started on the ones whose faces need to be reshaped a little to remove double chins or to thin out cheeks. Oyf.
Frankly, I think the world would be a happier place if celebrity photos were left more natural, but the people who oversee these kinds of things always require near-perfection, especially from women.
By the way, can I add that the person who did the post-production work on these photos did a really great job, mostly because they knew just when to stop retouching. You can still see his real skin texture and the little lines haven’t been totally edited out.
Andrea, I do wish they’d stop over Photoshopping him. But as you mentioned, at least this one knew when to stop. Unlike the GQ and Men’s Journal covers. Ugh.
Good eye. Thanks for elaborating, andrea.
Sweet baby Jesus. That’s a fine specimen of hot Viking man right there.
Yes, oh yes, you took the words right out of my mouth.
HOT!!
Can’t say I’m particularly disappointed about Tarzan.
I just hope he’ll find something interesting to film in the summer.
Oh and that True Blood won’t suck too much this year (though the latter is highly unlikely…)
Yay, a Skarsweek! Bring it on, that man is a GOD! I mean really, he looks so damned good in these pictures that I think I just ovulated again.
I know right! The man is gorgeous and seems humble and nice too. <3
Is it the role he plays on tv that makes him hot? I don’t watch True Blood so I don’t find him attractive AT ALL.
I’m not all that into him either, but I think I’d be into it if he didn’t have a major fivehead. Like 40% of his headspace is above the eyebrows.
It’s definitely a very sexy role. I don’t always find him handsome in still photos (these are pretty nice though) but on screen, he’s hot.
The show has gotten pretty bad though, I’m hoping this is the last season so I can quit watching it!
I bet Alex would have needed padding in his Tarzan costume if he had gotten the part. Nice body he’s got though. John Hamm wouldn’t.
He is soooo fine, but he is NOT my idea of Tarzan at all.
Now Dwayne Johnson, on the other hand ….
Or Jason Momoa. Unf. But if they follow the origin story, he’d have to be a displaced White Englishman.
Jason Momoa, yes!!!!! Yum!!
I don’t care about the original story, I’m interested in who’s wearing the loincloth! ;^)
if we were being authentic, Alex is the proper body type for a person stuck in the jungle.
They would have lean, elongated toned muscles rather than popeye style muscles.
*wiping puddle off seat*
gosh, he doesn’t have to do Tarzan, i have a vivid imagination & can see him in loincloth anytime i want. 😉
moments of note:
0:24 super cute fiver to the lady in audience
0:07 f*ck a HamDong, Skarsie’s beef is whats for dinner
0:33-38 GLORIOUS HINEY PERFECTION!!!
2:45 “in love with someone 5000 miles away…” so sweet, it was the ultimate PANTY DROP!
4:34 his hands are like something from a Michelangelo. so beautiful
now, for Miz Paula Patton: it’s not enough to go home every night to hot ass Robin Thicke, but now you gotta play wife to hot ass Skarsie?
greedy, greedy, greedy.
“gosh, he doesn’t have to do Tarzan, i have a vivid imagination & can see him in loincloth anytime i want”
Draw us a picture, would you? I have a thing for loin cloths.
Ooh, a play-by-play with color commentary! You have my undivided attention. Yes, you do. That interview was freaking adorable, and that man is glorious!
Thanks for the Skars Week, Kaiser, cuz…dayum. Is this anything like Shark Week?
Depressing that Tarzan probably won’t happen? Any time you take away my opportunity to see Skars in a loin cloth, antidepressants are probably going to be involved. Just saying.
Skars Week / Shark Week
AWESOME! 😆
You pretty much covered all of what I was thinking, nice job!
That man has one fine a** (and the rest!) that is for sure lol.
My goodness. He is the epitome of my type–blonde, blue-eyed, towering viking man with a sweet, sweet smile. I’d make one of those pictures my wallpaper if it didn’t make my nipples hard every time I look at them.
Now I need to go see the little man in the canoe.
😆 😆 😆
I’m happy you got that! I was worried it was too subtle 😉
God he is so hot. You can do vikin week any time, all the time. No complaints here.
I just can’t even believe how hot he is, I can’tttttttttttt. TRUE BLOOD IS BACK SOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN
*faints onto desk*
😕
NOM NOM NOM
No. Not depressing. That movie sounded stupid as hell.
Brooding and Beautiful!
While I am sad that I won’t get to see him in a loincloth, I have a feeling it would have been a fairly stupid movie.
THIS!!!
But I have so enjoyed your ‘Week of ASkars’…HEAVEN!((fanning self, and not because of the weather))
Bummer!I was so looking forward to viking loin cloth,ugh!
Me 2 soo dissapointing he would make a good tarzan. But I can always imagine him in a lion cloth in my mind. We all already seen him naked in true blood.
I’m not upset about Tarzan. He’s got good things ahead of him. And he looks soo good here.
Love the profile shot! Makes one just want to pull him close and run hands through that hair. 🙂
Sweet Jesus. He had me at didactic.
