Here are some photos from last night’s screening of The East in NYC. I’ve lovingly culled all of the attractive photos of Alexander Skarsgard, but you should know something… he looked AMAZING at this event. He looked so good that I’m actually starting to regret calling his style “dirtbaggy” (although his casual style is pretty scruffy). This is what Alex looks like when he tries. This is what he looks like when he showers and wears clean clothes and tries to look professional. He’s beautiful. And HOT.

I had to look twice to realize that he just wearing jeans. But jeans paired with a close-cut black button-down, with his hair perfect and with that sexy squint and half-smile? DONE. I’m done. What’s crazy about this Skarsgard thing is that I usually don’t care about blonde men at all. For Alex, I make an exception. Let’s call it “The Viking Clause”.

I’m also including photos of the other people at the screening. Brit Marling is really pretty, and I think she could be Alex’s type, right? Ellen Page is cute, but she’s dressed like a lesbian comedian circa 1988. Zoe Kazan and Paul Dano are super-cute together.
