Sorry, I was struggling to find something decent to cover, and it was either Alexander Skarsgard or Jude Law’s moobs. Maybe I’ll include a few photos of Jude too, just to mix it up a little. I’m constantly amazed by the fact that Alex can go from a smoking-hot lanky Viking in a suit, on a red carpet (or Calvin Klein commercial), to a dirtbag-looking awkward-seeming dude in real life. Whenever I see candids of Alex just walking around in his baseball cap and jeans, I realize that his proportions really are crazy, and that he needs better bumming-around clothes. I get that his casual clothes are just for running errands and everything, but… I don’t know. Maybe a decent pair of khakis and some new t-shirts? If we hold Mila Kunis to that standard (where we feel she should look presentable and attractive in candids because of her Dior contract), shouldn’t we hold Alex to that standard too?
By the way, did you know that Alex’s film What Maisie Knew premiered at the Toronto Film Festival last year and it still hasn’t come out in wide release?! IMDB doesn’t have any dates for an American release either. But! Entertainment Weekly just got the exclusive on the poster – go here to see. Maybe that means… a fall release? That movie sounded pretty good, and it’s an updated version of a Henry James novel, so maybe it would even be considered for some awards or something. We’ll see.
Also: since I promised, here’s Jude Law in London. Are his pecs just over-developed or has he gained some weight in his chest?

I’ve never thought he was hot.
Agreed. Dressed up or not, my pants never shot off with him..at all. Ever.
And, sorry but isn’t that just a shadow effect thing goin on with Jude ‘moob’? If Alex whathisface had a jacket on, wouldn’t it look/do the same thing???
I don’t get it at all. I think he is actually kind of ugly.
He’s never done anything for me either. (But, I’ve never seen him act or even interview.)
He would look a lot better with a different color hat. His coloring doesn’t look good in black- it washes him out.
I thought he was the paler version of Jim Carey. Askar’s good-looking but not hot unless you have a thing for Jim Carey types.
he sort of looks like like his dad who I think pulls off that ugly/hot thing like Sean Penn but Alex just always looks bland and dorky.
I don’t mind the way he dresses.I accept that like most actors he is hotter on t.v than in real life.But I do wonder why he is never seen with any woman anymore.How can he keep his personal life so quiet? Where does he even meet women or date them? I can’t wait for the next season of True Blood.It is the only way to see him since his movies go practically straight to D.V.D.
Yes!! Where does he meet women?? I want to know that so that I can go there and he can meet me! 😉
lol! and soooo true!! I want to know that too 😉
NO, cause I know what he looks like cleaned up.. I think I may have to fight Miss KiKi now to regain my spot. I was here first so I got dibs, ha!
I don’t think so pal, I’m here and ready to fight. I’ve decided that you bitches aren’t making me choose. I WILL keep My Viking and CHemboy. If you all stick to this and don’t try to swoop in then I may allow you visitation right every other weekend, cos I’m a good guy.
I might be willing to agree to this but with a few stipulations..
On the off weeks, I get him on Wednesday AND you can not sex him or anyone from the triangle of douche in the same 48 hours, this is non-negotiable.
I can cope with that. As for the trio of douchebags, I wouldn’t want to go near My Viking after being tainted by them so there is no risk of any cross contamination.
then we’re agreed..
Oh, hey, Miss Kiki. I see you are over here with SkarsVik today. Enjoy your lunch, you two. I just need to step out for a moment… and… uhm…
*races off while girls are distracted*
I like your thinking Miss Eyre. I’m wondering if I can send E^e over there for a little distraction, too…
I never thought he was attractive.
Yep, still hot, IMO. That t-shirt belongs in the rag pile.
Alex is hot in all forms. I would take it anyway I could get it, and hit it as hard as he would allow.
Lurve me some Skarsgard. I feel bad for the guy, he’s very slender but very long waisted, all of his t-shirts end up being tummy shirts. But cumon, let’s be real, don’t most nordic men dress like this? I’ve been to a few of those countries and this is pretty typical. Just swap in/out a snowboarding hat, a down jacket, wellies, a sweater with a deer.
Yes, I’m swedish and that is how most men dress when their just out doing daily errands. I find it very sexy, a man in a suit does nothing for me.
Except the sweater with a deer, that sounds more like an american thing.
2 words:
forearm. HAIR!
sexy on crack he is. 😛
Agreed, sister. He could be covered head to toe in dirt, and he’d still be sexy. Rawr <3
😆 😆 😆
Hey Sami, have you seen him covered in concrete? How is that even possible that he looks that hot? It defies logic.
I don’t mind how he’s dressed here at all. I’m just imagining him sans t-shirt and jeans anyway. I still would. Sooooo hard.
Totally agree – the fact that I have a bit of a dirtbag fetish doesn’t hurt his cause, either 😉
He seems like a typical guy who has a comfortable shirt he just can’t let go no matter how grunge it gets. That is more attractive to me than some overstyled narcissist. He seems like he’s a real dude in his every day life.
Yep. ^ This x 1000.
Never thought he had “it” at all. Even grosser now.
Hotter than hot. Manly. Sexy. Intelligent looking, I love his goofy dorkness appeal. He could wear flip flops, a white tank too and sun visor and still make me drool.
Hello my Sweet Viking Prince.
speaking of which…i’m definitely checking out the new ‘Vikings’ series premiere on the History channel this Sunday! woot-woot 🙂
*crossing legs*
what, really? I have not heard about this. when does it start?
http://www.history.com/shows/vikings
His brother Gustaf is in the show.
Laaaaawd, he’s attractive. I don’t care what he is (or isn’t) wearing. Sexy allllll the time.
I think he looks very hot here, love how he looks dressed up, down or not at all!!
ANSWER: ALEX SKARSGARD IS HOT IN EVERY WHICH WAY.
+100000000
I dont really care about his clothes either :p
As a photographer, I have always found it fascinating that you can doll someone up (guy or girl) and they look so hot in photos or even in films. Then you see them in their everyday look and they are just like everyone else. I find it refreshing. I love that saying “they clean up well”. So, I won’t find fault with Alex or with Mila. I pretty much do the same thing in my own life. I dress up and do my hair and makeup for my day job or if I’m going on a date with my hubs. In every day life, it’s jeans/t-shirt/converse or ballet flats. Although, I will admit to only wearing sweats or yoga gear in the house. (Side eye at Mila???) And BTW, I find Alex hot ALL the time!
Love the Viking but I’ve always thought that his clothes could for better. He does look a bit rough whenever he’s shooting True Blood, I think it’s the night shoots and paleness.
I think the Mila Kunis comparison is fair. If he’s a CK model, shouldn’t they have a vested interest that his jeans fit? He has pants issues, he really does.
That being said, I still would. Of course. But then again, I don’t think a man would throw Mila out of bed just because he’s seen the sweat pants pics.
It’s fair but jeans & tees are a step above sweats, which should never be worn in public. Celeb or not.
That’s what I wrote when she was last wearing them. 😉 No make up? Sure. Sweat pants outside the house/gym? Nooo.
But really, his t-shirts? Clingy and see-through? Yesss. But this is a bit schlubby. The whole look I mean.
The years will not be kind to Askars. Starting now.
I don’t see the hotness at all. But I also never cared for True Blood, and I think that’s a big part of his charm. He’s a sparkly vampire for grown women.
Not really. He’s hotter in Generation Kill imo. Plus True Blood has been too awful for too long for me to be able to enjoy him in it.
+1 on both points.
He is hot in MELANCHOLIA.
RIGHT! 😛
Okay, now that you’ve all blown my vampire theory out of the water, I’m officially in the “don’t get it” camp.
That’s fine, more for us! I don’t get Fassbender or Cumby, either.
I think you really need to see him on film to get it. I stopped watching True Blood so I had just been seeing still pictures of him and I thought he had completely lost the hot. Then I caught an interview of him and and saw it all over again.
IMHO he does not do still photographs well, both candids and professional shoots.
No-I almost didnt recognize him, weird.
I agree with you! Out of all the horrible things to say about Melancholia- and there’s a lot- making this guy look so pedestrian was the worse. The horse looked better than him in that movie!
No.. He’s sexy as hell dressed down or dressed up. He’s got something about him that draws me like a moth to a flame! I’m pretty sure that even as he ages (wrinkles, hair loss, etc..) he’ll still do it for me. He’s beautiful. 🙂
RAWR.
A tee-shirt and jeans makes you a dirtbag?!? Um, oookay.
He looks like he’s a guest on Jerry Springer.
His clothes and general dorkiness only make him hotter to me, not less…
And yeah he’s not “perfect” but he is sexy, and that’s not going away.
He’s far more attractive in motion anyway, I didn’t get it with pics either until I saw him on film.
Don’t find him hot per se. But he has the appeal of a big puppy. he seems akward in that big body and has a great
sense of humor.
He is always photog’d with Fares Fares everywhere…are they roomies or something?
I know they are buddies from Kill MY darlings or beyond…but they are ALWAYS together.
au contraire… I like his casual look
Still hot.
Still super gorg. Yummy yum yum!
i always think he looks exactly like His father Stellan when he is papped out casually like this and completely himself when he is on a red carpet.
He really does look like a younger version of his father. Especially if you look at pics of his dad at the same age.
What Maisie knew is tentatively scheduled for release in May, which is mentioned in the EW link. May 31st is the release date for The East, and April 12 the release for Disconnect.
I’ve never been to Toronto. I keep joking to my friends that i am going to put some serious effort into stalking him this year. It’s a pity his TB schedule has kept him from the European festivals but he is the only actor i’m making an exception for in the ‘no dating/sleeping with actors’ rule and only for a night or weekend!!!
I really want to see WHAT MAISIE KNEW. I am always up for modern adaptations of classic authors. The other two, not so much. don’t like subject matter. Those are American release dates, i think. We may not get them here, oh well, time to get some screeners.
I didn’t know he was Stellan’s son.
Love SS
Oh, yes, here’s a couple of pics of Stellan with a slightly grumpy baby skars:

@LAK, the only other movie that might come out this year is The Hidden, which is from Warner Brothers, I have no idea if it would show at any festivals or just get released.
here they are at THE AVENGERS premiere.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CF8SlTxGm2o
I also think they will age in a very similar way.
I think Alex looks better the older he gets. He was so strange looking in ZOOLANDER, and it wasn’t just the super blond hair, just odd and weirdly unformed. I think he looks like a man now, and so much better for it.
@cr – Definitely getting screeners, can’t wait for the release dates.
@LAK: he’s definitely aged well. He was cute when he was younger, but now, much better!
I think Bill’s going through the same thing, he’s cute, but I think he’ll look even better in a few years than he does now.
And the trailer for Disconnect is out:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=AM6TT1Ncxvs#at=108
cr – Absolutely about Bill. Gustaf seems to have never changed in looks at any age.
That trailer looks better than the random information that’s been coming out about the film. Definitely intrigued. I thought Andrea Risebourough [sp?] was in THE HIDDEN, but she’s in this trailer. Unless she’s in both? *going to IMDb to check*
Brit Marling never gets general release which is a shame because her films are usually very good. I hope THE EAST doesn’t suffer the same fate.
@LAK: Andrea K plays the reporter in Disconnect, and the wife of Alex’s character in The Hidden.
I think for The East that Fox Searchlight will do a good job of promoting it, I think they perceive it has having more ‘mainstream’ appeal than Brit’s (and Zal’s) previous works.
Skarsie’s fine. A little scruffy, but fine.
Alex Skarsgard looks to me like he is need o f a honey to cook nice meals for him cause he looks on the lanky side. He is so hot.
OF COURSE he’s still hot. In fact, I would argue that the clothes are optional. Especially since I’m willing to take a very hot shower with him…
Sigh. My biscuit really has a thing for Viking dong, doesn’t it?
I think he’s hot no matter what he’s wearing (or not wearing!) I do think he’s one of those actors who acts because he enjoys it, though, and not for the fame, so when he’s out and about and not promoting a project, he just dresses like he would if he were any other Joe. I see guys out dressed just like that every day. Alex doesn’t seem to care (or even be aware) of what others think. I can respect that and acutally find him even more attractive for it.
I don’t know. He cleans up nicely when he wants to, but I can still smell the Bosworth stink. Never liked when was grungy in candids though, always left me wishing he had better appearance in regular days. You know…like regular people in regular professions that shower, comb hair, shave, use clean clothes in acceptable condition…that sort of stuff.
Other than the fact that the tshirt looks well past its intended lifespan, he looks clean. He doesn’t usually shave unless he’s actually on set, and I don’t think he’d been on set for two weeks.
He doesn’t look like a homeless bum, he looks like a man on an afternoon off, one who likes to dress comfortably and casually.
po-tay-to, po-tah-to
For me, my reaction to beards is similar to a guy who sees a girl with leg hair or underarm hair. Others might see it different, but facial hair grosses me out.
Plus I’m demanding about personal appearance at all times, and that includes all standard things, including non sport clothes or jeans unless tey’re designer jeans and are kept in good condition, or sneakers or baseball caps or wrinkled clothes of any kind. Again, vegetables 😉
CC: normally I don’t like scruff, but for him I don’t mind. Unless he goes into YetiSkars territory, and then that’s not so hot.
I actually like him because he’s like so many actors, being himself when off from work – not giving a damn about what he’s supposed to look like to impress ppl. That’s the problem with actresses… they need to be 150% all the time.
”If we hold Mila Kunis to that standard (where we feel she should look presentable and attractive in candids because of her Dior contract), shouldn’t we hold Alex to that standard too?”
No, because Alex still looks clean, respectable and above all sexy – he’s just dressed casually. Mila, by contrast, looked in those photos like she’d slept by the side of the street all night.
I think Alex is HOT. Period.
@Kaiser He was filming True Blood yesterday. Maybe he wanted to have a relax time.
I don’t care about his clothes…I care about what’s UNDERNEATH them.
Amen sister, amen.
Preach!
Nah, Mila Kunis strikes out because she wears sweats everywhere. At least Skarsgard is wearing proper pants.
love hot guys in casual clothes (love hot guys in suits too!), when a guy is hot, he doesn’t need fancy clothes to look good. Seriously, this guy would still be bangable wearing a garbage bag.
I will happily be there to console him when his feelings are hurt from reading this thread.
I think Alex’s casual clothes look fine. Don’t see the big deal.
I think he looks fine, he’s a t-shirt & jeans type of guy. I’m not a fan of the beard, but he’s just hot.
Even dressed down, he always looks clean and immaculate. You can tell his clothing items are of good quality.
He really is starting to look just like his father the older he gets.You girls can have A Skars, blonde,blue eyed men do nothing for my biscuit anyway.Now that fine dark haired Italian Joe Magnieiello who plays Alcide on True Blood that is what I want.We need more pics of him on cb.
That’s fine, we’re better off with the kind and thoughtful Alex instead of that douchemonster known as Joe Mangey
I think he is really really hot, i think he always looks hot whether he is ontrue blood, or dressed up or casual, or doing a calvein klein commercial,it dont matter he is super sexy
Pretty sure Jude Law is flabbing up for his role in Dom Hemingway – he is supposed to have gained 30lbs or so.
And yeah, I’d still do A Skars viking style.
There is nothing on earth that could make him less hot.
